* The linked to website says M4 but that wrong isn't it?

EDIT Ah yes I have, but with a cab.
Pulled the Long Tom didn't it?

Another EDIT.
That tractor in the website is an M5 init?

M4 - HIGH SPEED TRACTOR, 18-TON
Does exist, and I'm sure you'll recognise it, but indeed not the one illustrated in the article.

When I was a boy, I built a large model of B-24 that came with this tractor, without the canvas cab attached.
