我国第一台手扶拖拉机是武汉柴油机厂试制成功的。50年代,该厂前身——武汉通用机器厂是一个不到400人的小厂,当时主要生产双轮双铧犁等简易农具。1956年底,在日本工业品展览会上,该厂厂长于志安看到了日本久保田公司制造的手扶拖拉机。他带回的两张手扶拖拉机的广告图片,一下子吸引了厂里的职工。大家想,这种机器在我国不正适用吗?若能搞出来,肯定会受到农民的欢迎。职工们带着为实现农业机械化作贡献的决心,萌发了制造中国手扶拖拉机的愿望。论条件,当时工厂设备简陋,技术力量薄弱(全厂仅有8名技术人员),既无图纸,又无资料,要制造这样的手扶拖拉机困难是不少的。但他们没有被困难所吓倒,不分昼夜地干开了。大家边干边研究,加工零件没有必要的设备,工人们硬是一锯一锉地加 The first walking tractor in China was successfully trial-produced by Wuhan Diesel Engine Factory. In the 1950s, the predecessor of the plant, Wuhan General Machinery Factory, was a small factory of less than 400 people. At that time, it mainly produced simple farm implements such as double wheel and double-acting plows. At the end of 1956, at the Japan Industrial Products Exhibition, the director of the plant, Yu Zhian, saw a walking tractor manufactured by Kubota Japan. He brought back two pictures of tractor ads, all of a sudden to attract the factory workers. Do you think this kind of machine is not suitable for use in our country? If it can be done, it will certainly be welcomed by peasants. With the determination to make contributions to agricultural mechanization, the workers and workers have sprung up their desire to manufacture Chinese walking tractors. On the conditions, when the factory was poorly equipped and technologically weak (there were only eight technicians in the whole factory), there was neither drawings nor information, so it was difficult to make such a walking tractor. But they were not intimidated by the difficulties and they started to work day and night. We are doing research, processing parts do not have the necessary equipment, workers are just a saw a file plus
