Apparently this was a 7.5in (190mm) Mk. III naval gun used on a static siege mount to shell Nieuport in Belgium. 14 of them were salvaged from the pre-dreadnaught battleship Swiftsure when it was decommissioned in 1917, with some going to coastal defense in Britain and a few for siege work in Belgium along the coast there. However, I must confess that this gun looks larger than 7.5 inch, perhaps a 9.2 inch or even a 12 inch spare barrel for a rail road gun.

Not so much a tractor, something that hardly existed at the time, more a steam-powered traction engine.
