I think you are probably correct, History Buff. If so, the the tractor was called a Red Star Hero of Sovet Agriculture. Since the Commies couldn't even begin to build a tractor with even some of advanements of the ETD They instead built a tractor that looked like an ETD but in fact didn't even have an engine. It was constructed of rubber and blown-up similar to a balloon. No one was allowed close to it and it never was used in the field, only paraded and exhibited. It was powered by 18 large men and 2 small women who peddled it in the same way one would peddle a bike. They sat inside the tractor and the driver who sat in the cab played a recording of an ETD. It fooled a lot of people until Erwin Minsky escaped and told the world.
