Vintage Mamod Steam Tractor Model – For Restoration – 10″ Long
On offer is an iconic vintage Mamod live steam tractor, a cherished collectible among model engineering enthusiasts and vintage toy collectors. This British-made steam model dates from the mid-to-late 20th century and was originally designed to run on solid fuel or methylated spirits—providing real working steam power in miniature.
This particular example is offered for restoration or spare parts, as it is missing two key components:
The spirit burner tray (used to heat the boiler)
The funnel (used to fill the boiler with water)
Despite these missing parts, the model retains most of its original metalwork and components, including the brass safety valve, lever, drive wheel, and signature red spoked wheels with rubber tyres. The paintwork is in decent condition for its age, showing honest signs of wear and use, while the Mamod “Steam Tractor” transfer decal remains mostly intact along the canopy edge.
The wheels turn freely and the mechanism appears mechanically sound, offering an excellent restoration base for a hands-on collector. The body measures approximately 10 inches long and 7.25 inches tall, and it is made primarily of metal with a painted tinplate canopy and steel/brass fittings.
