About

Reg. No. LRB 215
Serial No 4331.
Launched at the Royal show in July 1947, the Series 2 featured more power (40 bhp) a better cooling system, a more comfortable operator’s seat and larger tyres than the Series 1. There are two versions of the Series 2. This example is the Series 2 Mark ll, which was the special ‘Contractors Model’ equipped with a heavy-duty winch and anchor giving a line pull of 8,500 lb and a drum capacity of 75 yd of wire rope. The Series 2 Mark ll also featured a higher top speed (9 mph) for road work, 12-volt CAV electric lighting, a rear-view mirror and additional brakes. The tractor was very popular with threshing contractors who liked the economy and dependability of the single-cylinder two-stroke diesel engine.
The Series 2 was replaced by the Series 3 in December 1949.
