I have not been on much lately so only just read this. I can’t help with much info on the Europa, the Crawler Tractor Scrapbook part one only mentions it briefly. The Europa looks to have been made between 1960 and 1964. It is described as having a 3 cylinder 32bhp engine, four bottom rollers on each track, 155″ long, 61″ wide with 12″…[Read more]

Here are the photos of my MG5 showing the cover and toolbox. The dimensions are in the PDF file.
The cover looks to made using 16 gauge steel sheet. I have not given dims for the toolbox lid, it is a clearance fit over the top of the toolbox. The lip round the side is approx 10mm.
Hope this help.

I’m on my phone so I hope this works. Just did a search on the old forum and found a photo that ‘rollo man’ posted. It is a mk2 that he has and it has a different handle to what the brochures show.

That’s odd, all the pictures in the brochures show a round section handle. It certainly looks like your machine had a different style of handle though.
There was a member called ‘rolloman’ on the old forum that had a Tractivator as well, not sure what model though. I don’t think I have seen him on the new forum.
