From what I have come across, the Deutz engines have all been diesels, but Emiel will correct me on that if I am wrong. When I first drove into Europe in early 1970's, Passing through Belgium, Holland and Germany down to Austria, the majority of tractors I saw were ones of this size with a cutter bar attached, made by Eicher and Deutz. Will have to look out my Super 8 films and see if I can get some stills from it of that time.

The company we know as Deutz today was founded by Nicolaus August Otto in 1864 together with a partner. Otto was one of the founding fathers of the internal combustion engine and has the spark ignition engine named after him. They started with horizontally engines. Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybachs careers started at Deutz. After some name changes and change of investors etc it was named after the city it was located, Deutz. Nowadays this city is integrated in the city Cologne.

Still today Deutz is one of the main manufacturers of industrial diesel and gas (not petrol) engines. They were famous for their range of air cooled diesels. In the 1990’s the tractor division is sold to an Italian company who still manufactures tractors under the deutz fahr brand with engines sourced from the former owner deutz engines.

Hanomag

Good solid German tractors. My old company took the agency for Hanomag Crawlers in the late 1930's but it was the wrong time and we never sold one. They do not build tractors now and their industrial side was sold to Massey Ferguson.

County 4000-4

Ford 4000 fitted with a Schlinder Axle by County. I really liked this tractor and the later Ford built one with the Carraro axle, the instructors at Boreham always teased me that it was hard to get me out of the seat when we ploughed plots.

Meccano Farmyard scene

Lots of work went into this, I think I have problems at times putting components in circuit boards, but just look at all those tiny nuts, bolts and screws!!!

Resting not Rusting

Delco Light Manufacturing generator, just like the one I own which is now over 100 years old but in slightly better condition. My water pump with it is an electric one, possibly quite rare.

Wednesday Compilation

Welcome to the new forum and many thanks to the YT team for creating it.

It would be good if we could gather together all pictures and video posts in this one place. I am going to take the opportunity to try a new thread with Nature Picture and Puzzles and see how you like that. Please pass comments. I will keep posting the tractor related threads as well but it would be nice if we could get some pictures and puzzles from that side of the Pond. I have found I have many cousins and distant relations all over the US and Canada but have never visited although I have a son that lives in Boulder, so my pictures from over there are limited, so please post any you have. I can turn them into jigsaws if required.

KCM and I hope you enjoy our efforts.

Lake and Elliot Tractor Jack

Jack supplied with the Fordson F in England and Australia. This one came from Colchester in Essex, from a man's yard and was offered on e-bay. One of my Australian friends who collects Fordson tools, asked me to buy it for him which I did, I cleaned it up and sent if off to Australia where it now lives in his collection.

Nuffield 3/42

BMC Nuffield built this tractor to compete with the Fordson Dexta and MF 35 around 1956. They used some parts from the existing Nuffield 4/60 which made the tractor bigger tan either of those and fitted a three cylinder BMC engine. It was an excellent mid-sized tractor that will pull like crazy and has bags of torque. Problem was, it was a bit big for what it was intended for and sales were low. It did progress through the years but was never a big seller.

Lanz

Early and rare version of the single cylinder, semi diesel Lanz tractor with 4 WD.

County 1854

Nearly the ultimate County tractor, the long nosed version is the ultimate one that everybody with lots of spare cash want. Would love one but it is a bit too big for my wood splitter.

Looks like a heavy duty version of the Model T jack.

I have some Meccano my father had and I added to as a kid in the late 50s and early 60s. But not enough to make that, impressive!

edit,
Don't know how I got this here, should have been back with the Meccano picture.

Should be a County 1884, got my fingers in a mix.

Deutz tractors before the war were water cooled. An example is the Deutz F1M414, 11 HP single cylinder 4 stroke diesel, 3 speed gear-box, standard with rubber tyres and lighting, belt-pulley, power-take-off and side mount mower in 1936. Production continued after the war until about 1948 then with 4 speed gear-box and independent rear brakes. It was replaced with the 15 HP air-cooled F1L514.
