I appreciate "Big Bud" tractors, I believe there used to be 2 owned by a share cropper over in Kellerberrin about 30+ years ago, If i remember correctly they where around 650hp each....
The biggest Big Bud though was the Big Bud 16V-747 which only one was ever made, originally 760hp it's now set at 1100hp... Big Bud chiselling a 3000 acre 'field', decent size top paddock lol.....

A Diesel with a carburettor? Yes, this is one of the cleverest design engines ever made in my opinion. International 3 valve engine, start by hand crank on petrol, then switch over to diesel. No battery required, magneto ignition. I did a bit of a study on this a while ago, this album explains it, have a look: https://photos.app.goo.gl/deMji62eiyrsXyocA Great photos roKWiz.

Reminds me of this 3cyl Kelvin Diesel I took pictures of in the Auckland Maritime Museum. Hard to get your head around.

There's a place I used to visit North of Perth had a crawler dozer with petrol/diesel engine, it was smaller than the kelvin in pics.
They asked me to look at it, see if I could start it, they had and still have sheds full of old gear going back over 100 years. When I was prospecting I would come across old cars and trucks all over the place, but the property owners know their value! Cheers Billy

Found this on the internet!.......you on the money burnout?...
REAR WHEEL TRACK ADJUSTMENTYour tractor may be fitted with a fixed flange type orbar type rear axle. With a fixed flange type axle rearwheel track adjustment is effected by changing thewheel rim relative to the centre disc, the rim and/orthe disc relative to the axle hub or by inter--changingthe rear wheels. With bar axles, the same method of adjustmentapplies but with the added advantage of being ableto move the wheel hub on the axle shaft. Thisprovides an infinite range of adjustment between thenarrowest and widest settings. Cheers Billy

Either that or someone had a lot of time on their hands.  Not remotely related to tractors. This was at the same show for CB.
