This does tally with an accurate serial number, but does it sound like your machine?

NTSB287 was sold from the factory on 16th February, 1953 to the Norwegian importer Maskin A/S Expedit. It was supplied with pneumatic wheels as well as a half track conversion and should have ended up in Norway. The serial number would suggest that it had the air vane governor fitted rather than the later mechanical one and it may even have had a steel engine cover (bonnet) if it was being exported to such a cold country.

So far nobody has managed to find a Steed with a half track conversion, so it would be great news if yours was fitted with one.
