This tractor was bought by my great grandfather in 1948. My grandfather had it until 1965 when he traded it for a Bolinder-Munktell 350 Boxer. The little girl on the picture is my mother. She was born in 1944, so the picture must have been taken in 1948 och 1949. About a year ago we found the JD again, only 30 km from where we live. The present owner, Nils-Gunnar Fredriksson, is restoring it. He bought it from a junkyard. We've managed to track all the owners, which is; 1948-1949? Nils Olsson 1949?-1965 Torsten Olsson 1965-1969 Bo Olsson's tractorshop 1969-2001? The junkyard 2001?- Hils-Gunnar Fredriksson There is two other pictures of the tractor at http;//www.bolinder-munktell.se/ (site in swedish). Hopefully it will be running again in 2005.
