You live and learn, I always thought an International crawler was Tony Blair!

Yellow one is a British built BTD-20
Red one is an American built TD-18 from the 1940s
The BTD-20 has 6 cylinder Rolls-Royce engine.
The TD-18 has a 6 cylinder International engine.
The TD-18 has a "gasoline start" diesel which starts on petrol and then is switched to diesel when it has warmed up. The man adjusting the engine at 2.40 is doing just that.
Farm crawlers have largely been replaced by giant 4 wheel drive tractors these days. It is great to see this video!

I dare say he does it all again properly once every one has gone home. These places are just playgrounds for the boys with the biggest tractors... :-)
