Abstract

In 1916 H.V. McKay, a leading Australian manufacturer of farm machinery, was granted a patent which included details of two tractor models. Both were tested in Australia's first tractor tests in 1918. Others were built. The paper describes some of the features of the model 'A' and aspects of the restoration of a surviving example owned by the Museum of Victoria.
