    Bell Bros Pty Ltd Western Australia 1960 - 1980

    Hello Oldtom, yeah, I was there when it when it went boom, didn't see it or hear it, but was working at the time. They kept it pretty quiet, I suspect Bells didn't want any bad publicity as they made the Michelin Tyres. The machine was the IH Hough D500 700HP Regards Peter
