Contractors A, B, and C faced a shortage of tractors on a construction project, so they lent one another tractors as needed. First, A lent B and C as many tractors as each already had. A few months later, B lent A and C as many tractors as each already had. Still later, C lent A and B as many tractors as each already had. By then each contractor had 24 tractors. How many tractors did A have originally?

work backwards.
each contractor has 24. if lent as many as alreayd had, before this exchange, A and B each mus thave had 12, giving C 48 tractors.

next exchange: B had to lend A 6 and C 24, so before this A had 6, C had 24, and B had 42.

first exchange: A had to have lent B 21 and C 12. So at the beginning, B had 21, C had 12, and Contractor A had 39 tractors orgiinally

just acquired an ex army mf tet20 diesel tractor, anyone know anything about these beasts? where I can find some pics (to help with renovation) and any other information?

I have sent an email regarding your question.
I think I will be able to help with a workshop manual.
