MAN 4P1, Munich plant (P series): water-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine of 1,915 cc, rated at 35 hp (25.6 kW) at 2,400 rpm, a version built at MAN's Munich works in the early 1960s
The Munich works of commercial vehicle maker MAN built its own versions of the P series in the early 1960s as part of a short-lived tractor programme. The 4P1 represents this Munich-built production and sits in the light-to-medium class of MAN's agricultural tractors of the period.

The 4P1 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 1,920 kg, wheelbase 1,970 mm, width 1,670 mm and length 3,345 mm, at a height of 1,520 mm. Top speed is 19.9 km/h.
At around 1.9 tonnes unladen and 35 hp at a low 2,400 rpm, the 4P1 belongs to the light-to-medium class of agricultural tractors used for soil cultivation, haulage and power take-off work on medium-sized holdings. Its low height of 1,520 mm combined with a comparatively wide track of 1,670 mm gives a low centre of gravity and good stability on slopes.
On a surviving Munich-built 4P1, run the same checks as on other tractors from this engine family: radiator and water pump for leaks, injection pump for even delivery, front axle and steering for play. Parts for the engine and drivetrain are best sourced through specialists in historic MAN farm machinery, while bodywork parts usually require custom work. It is also worth checking the wheel hubs and brake linkages for wear, since these components saw heavy use in daily field and yard work.
