The MAN 2F1S belongs to the F series. Production: 1959–1961. The engine delivers 14 hp (10.2 kW), has 2 cylinders, with a displacement of 885 cm³. Rated speed is 2,300 rpm. The machine is 2,715 mm long, 1,042 mm wide and 1,450 mm high. The unladen weight is 840 kg. The wheelbase measures 1,650 mm. Ground clearance is 345 mm. Top speed is 19.9 km/h. The tank holds 19 litres. The engine is air-cooled. Tyres: front 4.00-16 ASF, rear 8-28 AS. The fuel is diesel. Construction: frameless unit construction. The gearbox offers 6 forward gears. There are also 2 reverse gears. Around ca. 50 units were built. Rated output across the MAN range ranges from 13 to 60 hp; the 2F1S sits at the bottom of that range with 14 hp. Its immediate neighbours are the 2F1 below it with 13 hp and the 2K1 above it with 18 hp. Rated output across the MAN range ranges from 14 to 60 hp; here the 2F1S sits at the bottom of that range with 14 hp. 5237 MAN models across 68 series are on record.

MAN F – light 1950s agricultural diesels from Nuremberg: 2F1 and 2F1S with two-cylinder 885 cm³ engine, 9.5 to 10.2 kW, tractor production ended 1962

MAN built agricultural diesel tractors in Nuremberg during the 1950s, applying the same diesel-injection fundamentals used in MAN's truck and engine business; tractor production ended in 1962. The F series with the 2F1 and 2F1S models formed the light, two-cylinder class of the range, while the larger, four-cylinder types carried a different designation. Both models share the two-cylinder engine with 885 cm³ displacement.

The register lists 2 versions here with 9.5 to 10.2 kW from the two-cylinder diesel engine, at speeds up to 2,300 revolutions per minute. Kerb weight is 840 kg, length 2,715 mm, width from 1,042 to 1,470 mm and height 1,450 mm.

MAN's agricultural diesels played only a minor role in the West German tractor market of the 1950s alongside established farm-machinery makers; with the end of its own tractor production in 1962, MAN withdrew entirely from the agricultural machinery business and focused on trucks and engines. The F series is accordingly among the rarer German post-war tractors.

When buying used, the small MAN diesels warrant checking the injection pump and nozzles above all, since spare parts from such a short production run are barely available new. Clutch, steering gear and the condition of the narrow tyres deserve attention; parts are sourced by specialist vintage workshops, usually through remanufacture or salvage from similar surviving examples.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
  • Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
  • Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
