Sawod Krasny Putilovets Universal: four-cylinder kerosene row-crop tractor weighing around 2,100 kg with a top speed of 8.1 km/h
The Leningrad Krasny Putilovets (Red Putilovets) works was among the first Soviet factories to build tractors in larger numbers, and the Universal range followed the layout of American row-crop tractors, with widely spaced rear wheels for working between planted rows. The model sits on the collective page for further models from this works.

The Universal is powered by a four-cylinder kerosene engine, running on kerosene instead of petrol or diesel. At a height of 1,669 mm, a length of 3,500 mm, a width of 1,560 mm and a weight of 2,108 kg, the tractor reaches a design top speed of 8.1 km/h.
Kerosene engines were common in agricultural machinery before diesel engines became widely available, since the cheaper kerosene of the time could keep burning once the engine was warmed up on petrol or a starting fuel. The narrow track and the layout typical of row-crop tractors let it straddle planted rows, for instance in sugar beet growing, without damaging the plants. The low top speed of 8.1 km/h reflects the era's steel spade-lug wheels rather than pneumatic tyres.
An example this old is today found essentially only as a collector's or museum piece. At inspection, the completeness of original parts, the condition of the cast block for cracks and the soundness of the steel spoke wheels with their spade lugs count among the most important points, along with comparing fitted parts to the original delivered condition.

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.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
