We've had this one on the forum recently, after the NIAE film you see, it appeared in a Ford film in Ford and Fordson on film 4, and was then converted to radio control (a much simpler job compared to the Radio Major, also in Ford films). You'll have noticed the front axle is the "wrong" way round! (a very distinctive feature)
In The Ford Tractor Story part 1 (Stuart Gibbard) there's another odd transmission: a Super Major with a Ford 6000 Select-O-Speed gearbox and hydraulic brakes.

Very interesting. The first one looks like an Allis B with Major tinwork!

It's the NIAE hydrostatic Major (followed by the P6 E27N)!
