5.1-litre single-cylinder 2-stroke diesel engine reported to start and run well
UK road registered
The Appeal
It's impossible to overstate how important the Field Marshall was. To many agricultural labourers, this was their first experience of mechanised farming: a 5.1-litre two-stroke diesel leviathan, famously fired into life with a shotgun cartridge. These machines have earned a devoted following among collectors of agricultural heritage.
This 1948 example was recently purchased from a deceased estate. It presents exceedingly well for its age, with a pleasing patina, and the best thing is that it is road registered. For enthusiasts of vintage agricultural machinery, this Field Marshall Series 2 offers a compelling opportunity to acquire a fascinating piece of British engineering history.image.png976.99 KB
