Blaw Knox Bulldozer Question

Post by bobneumann »

We found this in a collection we are sorting. It is a Code 3 repaint and the treads are replacement Matchbox King Size treads. The Bulldozer Tractor is about 650 mm long and there are no identification marks anywhere on it. I took a pic next to a Model of Yesteryear for comparison. Does anyone know the manufacturer and any other information? Thanks in advance

Is it a Moko Heavy Tractor?

How long is the Moko Heavy Tractor? The model I've shown in the pictures is 650 mm long. It has no identification, manufacturer, or country of origin text.

It quite clearly isn't 650 mm long - that's over 2' in old money, and the second photograph shows it to be approximately the same length as a Y1 Ford Model T.

Measurement is obviously an error. The Model T is 75mm from front to rear mudguard ends. I would go with Moko tractor.

Thank you for the information. I found a photo of the internal of a Moko through a google search and it looks the same. The exhaust pipe looks to be repaired on this one. I did not know these were so small.
