Field Marshall Series 3 Vintage Tractor - 1949

Field Marshal Series 3 vintage tractor circa 1949, sturdy tractor with rear hitch detail, 12 horse power high and low gearbox.

To start the Marshall a smouldering piece of special paper, containing saltpeter, is inserted into the engine. The engine is then turned over with a cranking handle. Depending on the condition and mood of individual tractors, it is possible to get a thorough workout starting the Marshall.

Later versions of the Field-Marshall had more sophisticated starting systems available - electric starters were optional on the Series 3As.

Supplied on a plastic plynth in its own display case.
