Great coverage Andrew.
I drove that old Albion at the Toowoomba Ag Show in April 1979. It was then owned by the Jondaryan Wool-shed in QLD. It is now owned by a fellow in Parkes NSW. It doesn't look a bit different now to 1979.
Just for the record it is a 1924, 4 ton, 32hp, 4 cylinder Albion with a dry sump arrangement. It has a 12 to 36 reduction of 3 to 1 on the chain final drive. My 1916, 3 ton Albion has the same engine and 3 speed gear-box but has an 18 to 36 or 2 to 1 final chain drive. So mine is a lot faster, but his carries a larger load. 4 tons as to 3 tons.
Regards Rick
