MAN 4T1 (T series): four-cylinder diesel engine of 3,927 cc, rated at 60 hp (43.9 kW) at 1,900 rpm, water-cooled, the heavier model from MAN's short-lived tractor range of the late 1950s
Alongside lorries, buses and industrial engines, MAN ran its own short-lived line of agricultural tractors in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The 4T1 formed the heavier version within that range, next to the lighter P-series models, and was aimed at holdings needing greater pulling power.

The 4T1 is driven by a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine of 3,927 cc displacement, rated at 60 hp (43.9 kW) at 1,900 rpm. Unladen weight is 3,360 kg, wheelbase 2,275 mm, width 1,970 mm and height 1,940 mm, at a length of 3,680 mm. Its design top speed is 22 km/h.
The large displacement at a comparatively low 1,900 rpm points to an engine tuned for pulling power rather than revs, as needed for ploughing and cultivating on heavier soils. At just under 3.4 tonnes unladen and 60 hp, the 4T1 sits in the upper middle class of tractors of its time.
On a surviving 4T1, check the cooling system for scale and corrosion after decades of use, the clutch for wear given the high pulling loads, and the rear axle for leaks at the differential seals. Parts for the engine and gearbox are best sourced through specialists in historic MAN farm machinery, while sheet metal and attachment parts usually require custom work. It is also worth checking the exhaust manifold and fuel lines for corrosion and confirming that the power take-off engages smoothly across its full range.
