Early Nuffield Universal from around 1949 to 52 with a petrol/kerosene engine. They were way ahead of their time back then being fast, quiet and with a petrol/kerosene change over on the choke. Choke out, fully petrol, half out, petrol kero mixture and fully in, kero. They also had a Super Throttle position where you fully opened the throttle for work then could move the lever slightly sideways and pull it back another inch for more speed.
Engine was a Morris side valve, (flat head) design based on truck engines of the time. Years ahead of others at the time, the Fordson Major E27N was the main competitor. Trouble was Nuffield never progressed the basic design and other makes overtook them. My 1968 tractor is still the same with few improvements 20 years after the original came out.
