Series 2E1-2E1078, 1933 - 1935
The DIESEL SEVENTY FIVE replaced DIESEL SEVENTY which was made only briefly in 1933.
It had a slight increase in power from 76 D.H.P (Drawbar Horse Power) to 83 D.H.P.
Unlike many tractors of the period, the DIESEL SEVENTY FIVE was made in just one version with a 78 inch gauge.
The 6 cylinder diesel engine shared the same bore and stroke as it’s smaller sisters the Diesel THIRTY FIVE and DIESEL FIFTY which had 3 and 4 cylinders respectively.
The Diesel SEVENTY FIVE along with the early D8 tractors were available with the controls on the right hand side as an option for agricultural use.
