The Cat D7 ploughing tractor MGN580L driven by George Irvine bogged in a ploughing operation at Fochabers around about 1970. Standing on the tracks are Douglas Archibald and right, Alastair Smart mechanic from FC Balnacoul Workshop.
Possibly the front end of a Fiat 100c Tractor just in shot ready to give a pull. The tracks of the Cat D7 are filled up with the red clay soil and the machine is just spinning the tracks and sitting on its belly.
