Ford 901 Powermaster: water-cooled four-cylinder tractor with petrol, LPG or diesel engine, 46.1 kW and 1,517 kg weight, built 1958 to 1962
Ford was an American vehicle manufacturer whose tractor division built its own farm machinery before it was sold to the Italian Fiat group in 1991 and absorbed into New Holland. The 901 Powermaster formed the top end of the 901 series and, like the other models of this generation, was offered with a choice of petrol, LPG or diesel engine.

The 901 Powermaster is powered by a water-cooled four-cylinder engine, producing 62.6 hp, or 46.1 kW, and 225 Nm of torque at 2,000 to 2,200 rpm. At a weight of 1,517 kg, a length of 3,353 mm, a height of 1,671 mm and a width of 1,821 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,167 mm, it is the most powerful example of its series, with a top speed of 28 km/h.
As the strongest four-cylinder model in its line, the Powermaster was built for tillage with larger implements, for work with heavier trailers and for power-take-off tasks demanding greater force. The choice between three fuel types allowed farms to match the drivetrain to whichever supply was available or most economical.
When buying a 901 Powermaster secondhand, the first thing that matters is which of the three fuel types the particular machine runs on, since the carburettor, vaporiser and injection pump are fundamentally different assemblies. Also worth checking are wear in the clutch and gearbox from the higher output, the cooling system, and corrosion on sheet-metal and frame parts.
