Lang,
Regarding the photo of the Fordson with the crane on, I think this is a conversion by Stanhay of Ashford, Kent. They were operated by compressed air and you can see the compressor on the side of the transmission. The company manufactured agricultural machinery and I worked for one of its subsidiaries in my early working life.

Thanks for the pics. That is exactly the tractor I have in the colorized pic with the woman pulling the bomb carts.

I put the tractor on display this summer for an airshow. I managed to get it close to a vintage aircraft for a pic. Not the one I hoped to get close to, but the best I could do. Aircraft owners don't want anything close to their planes...
