THIS  PARTICULAR  ITEM 

For your consideration is a very early Mamod TE1 Live Steam Tractor made in England in the 1960s.

Soon after that, Mamod modified the tractor with a reversible system.

The spirit burner and the early model valve were discontinued while the early model whistle was replaced.


This item, with only a few modifications, is still in production :

This is an old tractor and it is far from perfect. 

It has been air tested (video) but I do suspect a pin hole.

I tried to locate the possible pin hole but could not locate it.

Consequently I doubt it would run on steam without first fixing the possible leak.


It is in average cosmetic condition with a bit of rust and paint flaking here and there (photo).

Still... it is a very early 60+ years old collectible.


You will need some 90% alcohol and distilled water is highly recommended.

 

Condition :

This very old Live Steam Tractor is in average condition.

 It has been air tested (video) but I suspect a pin hole in the boiler.

 It is pretty complete with the exception of the original box.

 I suspect it would not run on steam without some work.

 I would rate it a C4/C5... Average.


VERY IMPORTANT :  I do not control the cost of shipping. I enter the weight and size of the box and eBay calculates it. I do pack well and also pay for the extra insurance if needed. Please do not consider any less than 5 stars for the shipping cost that I do not control. Item typically ships the same day or the next business day.


LESS IMPORTANT :  Items are packed and ready for shipping when I make the listing. Combined shipping cannot be done if one item is larger than 8 x 8 x 8 packed. If it is possible, smaller items can be combined upon request prior to the payment.

   

Guarantee : 

Item is guaranteed to be as described. I am a very honest seller hoping to deal with honest buyers. If I know something is wrong, I will disclose it but I certainly can make an honest mistake and will do my very best to correct it.


Warning : 

Many  of these older collectibles are not in compliance with today's safety standards. It is the responsibility of the buyer to determine whether or not they are still suitable for their intended purpose. Adult supervision is indispensable with any steam engine.


Packaging :

Items are packed carefully and should remain undamaged through a standard level of care during handling.
