could the number at rear be a clue ? 6731 or 8731 or maybe it's just an inventory number ? |

It was about industry in the COMECON, by what I remember, and this shot had to be from the SU, but nothing more they didn't tell. |

WEASEL !!!! think I nailed it, it looks like a VISTULA , a polish brand ? compare, very similar design ![[Image: untitled.1164.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/13592/untitled.1164.jpg) notice the distinct fuel tank on top and central section matches too https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avjSv5vG5JU -- Last edit: 2015-10-25 20:44:53 |

Vistulas were made till the beginning of 1970s by the Polish FMŻ (which since 1990s belongs to New Holland and makes combines under NH brand). I checked again multiple pics of Vistulas and they always have this characteristic rounded back (visible also on your thumb) and it looks that it was not detachable in such way to look like on the main pic. Two other, but maybe less improtant, differences are lack of this tank on the left side and position of boarding ladder. Some exception is this picture: http://www.retrotraktor.pl/artykuly/vistula/kzb3a.jpg but it is still different... -- Last edit: 2015-10-26 17:45:35 |

maybe the one in main could be an early prototype/ pre production model ? that small fuel tank on top is very distinct , identical to Vistulas and haven't seen it on other machines like soviet ones |

True, the tank and its side walls are very similar. I was thinking also about unfinished vehicle, without installed housing/side panels(?) yet. But in Vistula the top looks like a one piece with very rounded sides, so IMHO in factory they had to place these part first and then tank on it... Also there is some number at the back, so perhaps it is already the final look of this vehicle. One of Vistula's late 1950s prototypes. Another picture of version linked in my previus post. Less rounded top edges, but still different than in wanted harvester. |
