Trip to England

Alexis,

I purchased my Snider Crawler ( Similar size of a Caterpillar 2 ton ) from a farm in France, and Imported over here. Would you have any information on Snider Crawlers. Built in France using German Tank Technology is about all i know. Using bayonet quick connecting oil filler from tank designs. .

Thanks Neil, i wrote to John Gaunt !
To Catman, what you have is a Schneider crawler ! It was fabricated in the city of Besançon, during the 20's. Here is an ad concerning this brand.
And here you have a thread about this brand in a tractor forum with lot of pictures. Some of them were transformed with Diesel Douge engine :
