This tractor was imported from France and sold by Massey Ferguson in 1965. The 2130 was 'industrial strength' rather than agricultural. This tractor was used on the docks in Norwich to pull boats from the harbour in 1966. They were produced between Nov 1965 and 1968 . In the last two years only 49 were made. Bob Atter bought it believing it was 'agricultural ' and a 130 model as it was painted red and grey, the Massey Ferguson colours. He has since changed the colour to 'industrial' yellow and restored it.
