German tanks had tires????????????

[FarmboyBill]

Er CoPar, standing for Collage Park Myd Where they were made. This went crossways across the grill. Down from the P went the word Panzer. Check out on U TUBES, (Panzer Plowing) 3 wheel TRACTORS

What kind of rear hitch does it have? Can you make a sleeve hitch and use common attachments?

[Old Vet]

I am sure that it is a good tractor but you will be more satisfied with a H or even a F30.

[FarmboyBill]

OV. I KNOW I wouldn't want to start the 30 if I had one again, and I LOVED that tractor for plowing or discing, 2 14s, 16ft. I don't start granddads 34 Case often enough to keep the points shined up on the mag. I last started it off the belt. let it run for around 5 mins, then shut it off. A week later I decided to regulary start it once a week at least, and it wouldn't crank.
OF COURSe, theres a world of HPs between it and the H. Each can do different things better than the other. Theres around a doz branches of a tree that has red berries on it. they had grown from the line fence at the roadway. I had to nearly get out onto Slick Rd to see for sure nothing was coming down the hill towards me. Its down hill both ways from the driveway, and many really pour the coals to it coming down. ANYWAY, yes I could use the H to easily get them. I could easily use the Cub, But im getting to where I hate the climb onto and off the Cub,. The H is alright IF I don't have to get up and go, then stop and back up, get off, re hitch, get back on and go. I figure the Pipsqueak will work great for things like that, OR bring out or taking in a machine, as I have them parked, in some cases too close together to get the H in between.
I took it to a tire shop, and to fix one trailer tire, and put fluid into the 3 on the tractor, cost $150 8 gal. That will add 64 gal to it.

bj I keep hearing (sleeve hitch), but don't know precisely what that is. IF you will go to U Tubes, and type in 3 Wheel Panzer plowing, you will see it on a disc Other places show a Panzer pulling a 3ft disc. I intend to get 2 of these discs and make an adjustable wing disc. It should pull a section harrow easily.
All it has for a drawbar, is a piece of angle that is drilled with 2 sizes of holes on one side, and 2 holes on the other. THEY align with 2 pieces of metal that has many holes each in them for raising or lowing the drawbar.
It wouldn't spark, so I took it to a mechanic friend and he sanded the mag points, and I pulled and shocked the fire out of him.

If you put a sleeve hitch adapter on the panzer you can buy all kinds of equipment for them....James

I sprayed it with WD 40 around the inside hole where the axle pokes through. The breaks are dead. Theres olnly one shoe in each drum.

Off topic, but I want a half track for my place.

[FarmboyBill]

lol, U could rearrainge the neighbors too LOL

[jwal10]

Bill, you just need to find someone with an old tractor and get the hitch, maybe the scrap yard and modify it to fit and attach to the Panzer. Something like this....James

Please tell me you had the guy you bought it from start it BEFORE you bought it, right???

[FarmboyBill]

Saw it James. Wanna bet it wont be 3 times $71 in 5 days lol. Ill keep a watch on it tho.

[FarmboyBill]

The guy I bought it from has had 5 heart attacks. Hes 73yrs old. Said his wife was older, and in worse shape. That's why hes selling out so they can move to town. I just pulled it 3 times after I changed the gas and oil. That's all I wanted to do tonight.
While we were there, he was walking from one shed and talking behind me. Either he stopped, or I saw a chance to ask him something, and turned around to do so, and he was clasping his heart with both hands and slideling to to the side of a bldg. where he \rested for a few minutes.
He had already told me about the HAs, and the intermeadery said his health was bad, so when I saw him, I silently said, O GOD, PLEASE don't let this happen to him. Presently after a couple minutes, He said he was fine, and went on. He said that's why he never started them anymore.

[FarmboyBill]

Well, it fired on starter fluid. Took the line off at the carb. Nothing coming out. Took it off the other end, same thing. Unscrewed the fuel bowl assembly and drained it ourt. Couldn't get air in any of the holes. Ill get a new one tomorrow.
