No31: Gerweiss E4

#19 is the SLM, congratulations.

#31 is interesting, as I have a completely different name. But I can see that it was also marketed as the Gerweiss E4. I will give you the point anyway. I have it as the E-Save E-Taxicle Palawan. That company has a fairly professional website, especially compared to Gerweiss. You can even read E-Save in the background of the picture Gerweiss uses  ;)

That leaves #32 as the last puzzle threewheeler.

Not quite sure whether really built before WW II, but at least built during WW II.

Was it made by a tractor manufacturer?

It was developped by an engineer who would create a new kind of tractor later on. The development took place in cooperation with a large car manufacturer. But it was not built by the big company but by the engineer's company.

As another clue I attach a picture of the tractor with the single rear wheel replaced by an agricultural machine.

Final clue: The builder of #32 also derived a version for less peaceful tasks than agriculture.

It's a Scheuch-Schlepper (tractor), originally intended for agricultural use. The Scheuch company of Erfurt developed it in co-operation with Auto-Union, and various DKW engines were used. The wheel track could be varied to make it fit in different furrows. It could be used as a three-wheeled tractor, or the rear wheel could be detached by releasing four bolts, after which agricultural equipment could be fitted.

During WW2 these were adapted as specialised ground equipment for the Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet rocket-powered fighter aircraft. Early models of this did not have wheels, but took off on a starting dolly, which was jettisoned after take-off. The Scheuch-Schlepper was adaptable to tow the plane on its starting dolly, or with a special lifting device fitted, could act as a recovery vehicle for the Komet after it had landed.

I understand that Egon Scheuch was the designer, but construction was at Bruno Müller. Just as an addition here.
