Deutz F2M 317 (1935-1942) from Cologne: water-cooled two-cylinder diesel of 3,854 cc, 30 hp/22 kW at 1,300 rpm, weight 2,600 kg, top speed 22.5 km/h
Deutz is a company from Cologne and one of the best-known makers of tractor engines, above all its air-cooled diesels. The F2M 317 was built from 1935 to 1942 and shows that Deutz also offered larger, water-cooled models at the time: in the type designation, the 2 before the M indicates the number of cylinders and the M indicates water cooling, as confirmed by the cooling type given for this model.

The water-cooled two-cylinder diesel engine has a displacement of 3,854 cc and produces 22 kW (30 hp) at 1,300 rpm. The F2M 317 is 3,400 mm long, 2,000 mm wide and 2,230 mm high, with a wheelbase of 1,920 mm and a weight of 2,600 kg. Its top speed is 22.5 km/h.
A two-cylinder engine of almost 3.9 litres at only 1,300 rpm is a slow-turning, large-displacement design, as built before the war for high pulling power at low revs. At 2.6 tonnes and 22 kW, the F2M 317 sat in the medium-to-larger power class of agricultural tractors of its time, built for heavier ploughing and draft work.
When buying such an old water-cooled Deutz diesel, check the radiator, water pump and tightness of the cooling system, the injection pump and nozzles, the clutch and gearbox, and rust on the frame, wings and sheet metal after some ninety years. Parts for a vehicle of this age can practically only be sourced from collectors of historic Deutz tractors and specialist restoration workshops.
