    Anyone had anything to do with one of these ? There's one on ebay UK.

    Not really interested in it, just curious.

    I NEVER saw or heard of one of these before. It's very unique!

          I found a full brochure of it, they had everything from farm sprayers to fertilizers. The literature says it's European, built specifically for farmers with multiple models/body styles.

            This is the brochure from Recreatives. Thanks for posting it.......now I remember seeing this from when I was browsing through their huge collection of rare vintage AATV literature. Where in Europe were they built?

                  I think he handed out his duplicates as some of them he had three of. Well I hope so, alot of history can easily be lost.

                    wonder if the thing is an amphib? sure looks like the exhaust pipe exits below what would be the waterline. Seems like it would be hard to seal.

                        I knew the picture looked familiar. It took me a while to find the pics that were sent to us about a year ago of all the neat stuff that Sid gave away. Doesn't look like they would have gotten lost. Looks like they were getting organized in the living room. Sid would have only given those to someone he knew & someone he really appreciated.

                          I searched the estate and it keeps bringing up a healthcare place located in the Netherlands. So I'm not really sure where it was as there aren't any Dun & Bradstreet reports on what happened to the company, probably due to it being foreign. Finding it would take some digging. Hopefully more of these machines appear; Transcraft produced an abundance of different models and body styles.

                            that's all I got ! Be nice to find where they were made though. Is it Hollands "health" or Hollands "Heath" ?
