We are pleased to advertise for sale this Aveling and Porter Steam tractor, the engine has been in the same ownership for 48 years and was converted from an F-Type roller in 1976.

​

The F-Type roller is classed as a 10 ton machine with 6NHP rating. They are strong performers on the road being free steaming and powerful engines, with a balanced crank they spin up well and have a good turn of speed (in roller terms) which is increased further by the rubber tyres now fitted. The engine has been known to average around 10mph on a run.

​

Mechanically it is reported to be in good condition with a decent set of gears and well maintained motion work. The boiler however is now in need of major repairs. A full boiler inspection has been conducted by well respected boiler-man Dave Wothers, a copy of which is available to genuinely interested buyers.

​

The boiler cladding tins have been removed for inspection but are included in the sale, also included is a pair of belly tank end plates that would be a suitable size for the engine. 

​

Little is known of the engines working history apart from it working in Wolverhampton before entering preservation through a machinery dealer. If anyone has any further information they would be willing to share with us please do, we will pass it onto current and new owners.

​

Once the boiler work has been completed the result will be a capable engine for some one to enjoy, ideal if you are looking to do a lot of roading but find a roller a bit too slow and an original tractor slightly out of reach. Being based on a 10 ton roller you can comfortably single man the engine or you have plenty of room for 2 on the footplate.

​

Viewings and inspections are welcomed by genuinely interested buyers.
