Hi folks, we had a lot of LA tractors come to the UK on lease lend during world war 2. I notice on the ones in preservation that early ones had a wooden drivers platform and the later one have a steel platform so when did the change take place. thank for any help. MJ

My 1948 LA has a steel platform and hydraulic brakes. Friend has a 1947 with wood platform and mechanical turning brakes. Gene

I had a 47LA with a wooden platform and a 48LA with steel. But there was more difference that the brakes. The 47 had a three spoke steering wheel and it was at a flater angle the front wheel spindles were at the top and the 48 at the bottom . The gear speeds were different too The 47 faster but because of that had less power in third gear(about the only gear I used). The fenders had more clearence on the 48. There was probaly more difference"s than what I listed.

Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see
You wouldn't happen to have a list what tractors were sent under lend lease would you?
I have some "lend lease" .303" ammo here from Winchester, and at one point had 5 Savage made #4Mk1* rifles with the "U.S. Property" stamp on them.

Hi RG, I am afraid we are not able to find this infomation. I would like to know what numbers for each tractor came into the UK. We got S, SC, DEX, DC3, DC4, and LAs. They came into the UK via the agents Associated Manufacturing co depot at Wembley just outside London. I do not know the connection with this company and the US manufactuors of the AMCO stationary engines. Many thanks for your help lads. MJ

I'm not 100% sure but I would guess at 5281065 as they changed the fender style at that time. This was probably the time at which hydraulics became available although the parts book does not give that serial number, just the one for the fender change.

I didn't look hard enough earlier this morning on the platform issue. The parts book shows the change as occurring at 5600001.I know that's not totally correct as our LA (5521180) had the steel platform.
All I can find on the hydraulic question is in "Full Steam Ahead" which says that hydraulics were available in August 1948.

That jibes with what I said in my first response.

On the Road with Dave Gohl: Tractors and Farming - by Dave Gohl. I never thought I'd live to see the day, when I could call myself a farmer. What allows me to say this? Well, when our family moved to our 20 acre site near New Prague, Minnesota, I had one thought in mind. You guessed it, farm it somehow. A little history is in order. In my younger days, mom, dad and my brother made frequent visits to dad's youngest brother Pete, who took over the home farm from grandpa MIke. It was the typical set-up, milk cows, pigs & chickens. In the winter, we'd play
