TP21 was built 1953-58, in 720 units. Some of them were apparently in use in the Swedish Army well into the 1970s.

This is a TP21 prototype, with chassis number 1. It was built in 1951.
 
(I'm a bit ashamed of these photos now, but they were published 'long ago' when the size of web-files were important. Hope I'll find the time to re-edit them sometime.)

This TP21/915 was built in 1954.
 

In summer 2000 I took a detour to the factory of Ljungbymaskin, to take some photos of their wheel-loaders. Along one side of a yard were a number of them parked, so I took a photo of those too. Later when I fixed the photos for konditori100 I discovered a familiar front in the row, but not familiar in that row...
Front looks like TP, but not the window...

At Tunga Träffen ('the heavy meet') in 2002.

The TP21 was made to drive in rough terrain.
