Earlier Marshall Tractor Line

The first single-cylinder Marshall tractor to be introduced was the Marshall 15/30 in 1930. It had a bore of 8 inches with a 10-inch stroke and the maximum r.p.m. was 550.

In 1932 the 15/30 was upgraded to become the Marshall 18/30. This model featured the same bore and stroke dimensions but the maximum r.p.m. was increased and the tractor's transmission was modified heavily.

The next single-cylinder Marshall to be introduced was the Marshall 12/20 in 1935. This tractor was of a completely new design, with a 6-inch bore and a 9-inch stroke. There were many smaller modifications such as a redesigned injection pump and cylinder head. In 1938 the 12/20 model was redesigned and the model coding was changed so that the new model became the Marshall Model "M" tractor.

    For the mother who has opted to stay home, the question remains: Having perfected her role as a caretaker, can she abdicate control to less practiced individuals? Having put all her identity eggs in one basket, can she hand over the basket freely? Having put aside her own ambitions, can she resist imposing them on her children? And having set one example, can she teach another?
    —Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)

    Any walk through a park that runs between a double line of mangy trees and passes brazenly by the ladies’ toilet is invariably known as “Lover’s Lane.”
