I have never heard of or seen one before. There is one for sale on Green Bay WI CL. Not mine, just hope it goes to a good home. Anyone you know collect Leylands? Bill

Leyland 154 is around 22 hp, can be diesel or petrol. Development from the BMC Mini tractor of the late 1960's. Designed by Harry Ferguson engineering for British Motor Corporation. Good little tractor although the diesels can be hard starters and smoke until warmed up.

They do not have draft control as such on the hydraulics, they are just straight up and down. Dept/load control is achieved by positioning of the linkage, using Harry Ferguson's original ideas way back before he thought of a hydraulic system, and it works surprisingly well.

For a small, light tractor they are very useful around the farm especially when equipped with a loader. You have to remember it is not a big tractor, it is smaller than an 8N.

There is a gentlemen in north central Mn that has posted here trying to find parts.
There is a farm off #71 near Sebeka that has a few sitting in the yard.

I had a 154 years ago, diesel with power steering & 2 speed PTO. It looked like a 8N, nothing like the the photo Majorman posted. Nice little tractor....
