Strange Little 1948 Tractor

 

Also made as a tricycle, (3 wheeler) with a single cylinder diesel.

Come on Cobba tell me something about them - who, where and when.

Lang

Oliver2950 knows about them, he has one

What would you like to know? 
The Newman  WD2 was a powerhouse tractor powered by a mighty 10.5hp Coventry Climax crank start diesel motor, 4 forward 1 reverse speed  gearbox, clutch and brake pedals reversed no linkage ,toolbar affixed to the chassis controlled by a hand lever, and this mighty package was 40 quid dearer to buy than a new Ferguson TEA20 Needless to say not many were sold and even though they rare they do not make very much, tell that advertiser of the one in the add he's dreaming. Did I mention it is the worst tractor I have ever had the misfortune to own?  
I sold mine about 2 weeks ago for $1500 with a rebuilt motor, at a loss of  $1600 from what it cost me.

Cant remember you selling anything before.

Another tiny three wheeled British tractor, that had a "Huge" Ford 8 horsepower four cylinder donk,was the OTA, not to be confused with the Australian "Ocka," a very sucssesfull four wheel drive truck.

I don't want an OTA nor a single cylinder tractor but I would love to have a BMB (British Motor Boat Company) President that had a Morris 8 motor.
You should not have to ask why.
Morris.

So their value is going up, might have to invest in one or two.

Saw this one recently, thought Morris might like it
