MAN 2P1 (P series): three-cylinder diesel engine of 1,915 cc, rated at 35 hp (25.6 kW) at 2,400 rpm, water-cooled, built for farm work in the early 1960s
MAN is a German manufacturer of commercial vehicles and diesel engines with roots in Augsburg and Nuremberg, known chiefly for lorries and buses. During the 1950s and 1960s the company also carried its own line of agricultural tractors, before returning to a sole focus on engines and commercial vehicles. The 2P1 belongs to this brief period of tractor production.

The 2P1 is driven by a water-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine of 1,915 cc displacement, rated at 35 hp (25.6 kW) at 2,400 rpm. Unladen weight is 1,670 kg, wheelbase 1,978 mm, width 1,600 mm and height 1,530 mm. Its design top speed is 18.4 km/h.
With this output and low top speed, the 2P1 sits in the class of light to medium agricultural tractors used for soil cultivation, haulage and power take-off work on medium-sized holdings. The water cooling and the low-revving three-cylinder engine point to a rugged design built for long service, as was common for tractors in this power class.
When assessing a surviving example, check the radiator and water pump for leaks, the injection pump for even delivery, and the front axle bearings and steering for play. Parts for the engine and drivetrain are most readily found through dealers specialising in historic farm machinery, while bodywork and attachment parts often need to be custom-made.
