BMC Mini, Leyland 154




In 1965, the small tractor BMC Mini 9/16, mainly developed by Harry Ferguson Research Ltd, was introduced to the market. The Mini had a hydraulic pump above the engine and a fuel tank under the seat. Unlike many other small tractors, it was equipped with draft sensing. The original engine was a 950 cc gasoline engine, and shortly thereafter, a 948 cc swirl chamber diesel (15 hp) was also introduced. In 1968, the name was changed to Nuffield 4/25, and the engine options were a 1.5-liter gasoline or diesel.
In 1969, the small tractor was also renamed Leyland. The grille changed, and the color switched to blue. The model number was always Leyland 154, despite the tractor being equipped with both a 1.5-liter diesel and a 1.6-liter gasoline engine.
The model remained in production until 1980, despite relatively low sales, when it was replaced by the 235 model equipped with a 1.8-liter, 30-horsepower diesel engine. The model's story continued in the 1980s in Turkey, where it was manufactured as the red Leyland 184 and exported as the yellow 302 until 1985.
