The cowling/fairing has my eye, makes it have a fast appearance if you don't look at the wheels.

David Browns first tractor the VAK1 first built in 1939 to 1945. David Brown started
building the Ferguson type A with Harry Ferguson in 1936 but the tractors were not
selling very well and Harry was not being very cooporative. In 1938 David Brown wet
to America to see his friend Mr Durant at General Motors to discuss breaking away
from Harry Ferguson and designing his own tractor. Mr Durant told that it is certain
that there is going to be a war in Europe so you want to make a tractor a lady can
drive as the men on the farms may have to go to war. So that,s why the VAK1 tractors
had a bench seat, both brake and clutch pedals on the right hand side and a scuttle
to keep the ladies legs warm. MJ

Interesting how he thought that all out. Back then it was scandalous for a woman to wear pants. So many features to help the women.
