Circa 1950's Newman. The design changed hands a number of times. The original was called the Kendal and the company was set up to build a cheap tractor and a motor car, at the end of WW2 by a member of Parliament. The tractor design was taken over by Newman Industries but few tractors were produced.
We had one of these at my first place of work as new unsold stock, the diesel engine had been removed as it was so poor starting and a Ford 10hp engine and gearbox replaced it. This was fitted in front of the original gearbox and the tractor then had a speed range from, in double reverse, glacial slow, to double top which was so fast (around 40 mph) that we young mechanics were banned from using it. Of course, we did when no one was about but it was quite frightening on three wheels.
We mounted a saw bench on her and used her to cut up wood for the steam engine boiler that ran the garage central heating system. This was back in the 1950's and the tractor and its bench are still around locally.
