Sunbar ◊ 2014-02-07 12:01	...yes, confirmed by the front mounted pulley take-off point on the Threasherman. The Taskmaster is without the shaft-driven pulley and seen in the main picture.
truckface ◊ 2014-02-07 12:06	Many of the Threshermans were converted into airport tugs.
jcb ◊ 2014-02-07 12:12	Yes and possibly people converted SPECIFIC airport model Taskmasters into agricultural Threshmans -- Last edit: 2014-02-07 12:12:21
