5 Ton Steam Tractor No.7802 ~ Reg.HO 6352 ~ Built 1924 4 NHP Oil Bath Compound. In excellent, fully restored condition with current boiler certificate.
A rare 2 speed steam tractor by the MANN Steam Cart & Wagon Company, Leeds. This engine was designed for general agricultural and road work, including direct ploughing, in competition with the newly arrived gasoline tractors. Exceptionally original and in excellent condition, fitted with new firebox, etc. Current and 10 year boiler certificates.
This rare timber tractor is thought to be the model displayed at the Sydney Agricultural Show of 1926.
It was purchased by the present owner in 2006 as a rolling chassis and repatriated to the UK.
The tractor, which has the two cylinder “Super” engine was then subjected to a thorough four year restoration. When the engine was stripped down, it was found to be in almost as new condition, as was the boiler – which again indicated that the machine had one little work.
The current owner has completed the superb restoration using “Sentinel” works drawings and it is presented to a very high standard.
This very unusual historic vehicle has a turn of speed of around 15 mph and is now for sale with a current boiler certificate.
