experimental bush tramway tractor, Karapoti Gorge, NZ, circa 1920


The tractor was built by Nattrass motor engineers of Wellington using a Cadillac motor engine adapted for hauling timber on the track at Campbell's Sawmill. The trial proved unsatisfactory and the machine was not purchased. (H.R. Maybury pic in the Upper Hutt Library)

Looks to be powered by the remains of a circa 1912 Cadillac.
