A B2 Tractor, No.1557, Reg. No. 5117, built for J. Curtis & Sons of 1913.

This tractor had a working pressure of 180 lbs and was fitted with two seats, an extended coal bunker, a pump and an injector.

A note from the build book for this vehicle states that the cylinder had a slight leak in the high pressure port that had rusted up, with a later note stating that the vehicle ran very little on the road in its lifetime.
