(quoted from post at 07:12:20 02/13/15) Any "houtgas trekkers" ?
(quoted from post at 07:22:12 02/13/15) Also great photos!
What does "hot bulb" refer to?
Thanks for posting.
(quoted from post at 08:12:28 02/13/15) Thank you for posting your very interesting pictures.Obvious quality and workmanship. Interesting leaf spring front ends on the Eichers. Would like to hear a Lanz Bulldog running some day. Does the exhaust stack act as an expansion chamber?
(quoted from post at 16:42:47 02/13/15) Antique American Tractors are rare in Germany, because they have never been exported to Germany. Nowadays, only few collectors lik me got the "US tractor bug" because of the German law. It is very complicated to get an US tractor road legal over here. all tractors have to have light (including turning lights), independent brakes, fenders, and so on. I was successful in getting my John Deere R and my Oliver Super 88 Diesel road legal, but it was not easy at all.
Collectors in Belgium or the Netherlands have no problems with that. This why there are so many antique US tractors in Belgium or the Netherlands.
would be Scheiße aus Glück heraus. It would be a tough law to enforce though.
Do you have to scrounge the parts for the tractor lights/directional signals, or is there a kit you can buy? If there is a need for something like this someone should develop and sell these kits.(quoted from post at 17:27:23 02/13/15)would be Scheiße aus Glück heraus.

:lol: :lol:
Yes, you have to feel sorry for us...
(quoted from post at 09:48:10 02/13/15) Wonderful photos!! Is this an annual show? Would love to see it. When is the next show?
(quoted from post at 10:07:12 02/13/15) Hi Hendrik, thanks for the great pictures. Here in the UK I attend many shows here in the UK doing the commentry for the ring parade. Do you get to the UK tractor shows at all?. MJ.

Believe it or not a descendant of mine held the first patent for directional signals on automobiles. He had lived in California in the late 1900's to early 1920's. He worked as a chauffeur and must have seen a need for directional signals. He tried to sell the patent to car manufactures, but the idea was ahead of the times. The patent rights ran out, and later on Buick used his design for the first directional signals to be used on the automobile. so ist das Leben.
Ja, so ist das Leben!
The easiest way is to take out all the original lighting stuff out of the US tractors and built it up from the beginning. It's worthless to try to mix the American way (cut our relay, positive earth, sealed beam etc) with the German way. I tried it on my JD R and I will never do it again. For example, we have to have a hazard flashing light, but that won't work with positive earth.

Unless you want to keep the tractors completely original, you can switch the electrical system from positive ground to negative ground. We do it all the time here.
(quoted from post at 21:29:05 02/13/15) Hendrick, I'm interested to know, on the big
Hanomag GR50 tractors, what are the springs for
I'm seeing inside the center of the rear wheels
between the spokes? And thanks for posting these
pictures and comments on each. These are
wonderful to see!
(quoted from post at 07:04:59 02/14/15) Where there no old Deutz tractors at this show?
(quoted from post at 07:26:24 02/14/15) Noticed the hand crank on Hanomag RD36 and others. Bet manual starting a diesel would really be a trick! What mounted to the bracket located on the right front of the engine?
(quoted from post at 10:41:27 02/14/15)
What happened to the Hanomag Company???
I saw where you said that a certain model had troubles and helped the demise of the company. Any more information???
(quoted from post at 05:29:25 02/17/15) Good running 1150 with factory cab available here in central NY!
(quoted from post at 05:51:32 02/17/15) Not too many masseys around me. Can you explain the
brake thing? What is wrong with them for Germany?
Thanks for all the great pics.
(quoted from post at 11:06:38 02/17/15) Hendrik, just how giant was this tractor show? Is it an annual event? Where was it held?
(quoted from post at 05:10:50 02/18/15) I'm loving all the pictures. Its nice to see
something different. So what does a German MF65 look
like?
(quoted from post at 03:30:13 09/06/15) How ingenious! This was factory built by Fahr?
Thank you so much for posting these pictures.
(quoted from post at 14:07:11 09/18/15) Great pics, but looking at that tractor, in 1927 I think I would have gone with a Fordson or Deere or McCormick or Case or Oliver....
Ben
(quoted from post at 15:38:01 09/18/15) With those wheels, was it a road or industral tractor? Very nice!!
joe
(quoted from post at 10:37:47 10/05/15) You probably told, but I missed or forgot, What era are these units from? Pre WW2, or after the war? 1930s maybe? They look in good shape for that age.
(quoted from post at 08:39:14 10/08/15) Thank you for posting them. I always thought they were all air cooled. Neat pictures. What is the top speed on the road tractor?
(quoted from post at 09:17:13 10/08/15) What is that big round thing on the left side of the tractors? Is it some type of starting arrangement? How would it work?
(quoted from post at 19:37:21 10/08/15) Hendrick, where in Germany. My wife and I are traveling to Germany to see our son and family. We're looking for something farm related when we
get there. Son lives near Baden Baden. I would love to see a MAN tractor also.
(quoted from post at 14:32:40 11/11/15) Interesting. Thank you for sharing. I worked on a hog farm northeast of Hannover back in 1986. Nobody had Deutz in the area. We had mostly Fendt, and one farmer was using a Unimog.
Is there an active market for these old tractors? Can you still find and restore them?
(quoted from post at 07:28:50 08/16/16) Four is NOT many many pics!!!!!!!!! ...100 is many many pics. So you still owe us 96 pics!!!!
Schnell
(quoted from post at 06:39:05 08/19/16) Can you put the HP of the tractor in the photo if you know them.It would help gauge the tractor with photo. Just my ideal. Thanks
(quoted from post at 10:25:40 11/09/16) What part of Germany are you in, Hendrik? I was just there in September visiting my daughter, son-in-law and grandkids in Erlangen.
(quoted from post at 11:18:12 11/29/17) No transmission?
Did it have a clutch or dog to disengage?
(quoted from post at 16:32:58 11/29/17) I?ve stumbled onto a video of that or similar model running and it shows several switches of direction as it is demonstrated at a show. It didn?t appear to have a clutch or transmission. Just a well timed switch of throttle to reverse the engine. I?m guessing the ?scooner? brakes also assisted in stopping motion. For the life of me I can?t find it again.
(quoted from post at 10:10:28 01/10/18) No reverse...
No starter...
Farmers were tough back then! LOL
On the HR2 22-28, what are the spring loaded pins inside the rear wheels?
(quoted from post at 09:21:36 01/17/18) Thanks!
Interesting concept.
I've never actually seen one, but watching the start up process on Youtube, it appears they don't actually turn the engine through, but turn it backward and bounce it off compression, hope it runs the right way.
Is this true?
ALL Lanz Bulldog hot bulb tractors from 1923 to 1949 had to be started using the steering wheel. No matter if the transmission had a reverse gear or not. The steering wheel will NOT kick out by itself. You have to pull it out!How does the starting wheel kick out, especially if it started backward? And how was that arranged on those without reverse?
Many farmers lost fingers, hands, arms and even their lives starting Lanz Bulldogs.How many ways could that thing break fingers! LOL
(quoted from post at 08:46:19 02/28/18) Thanks I always enjoy your pictures. What is the bulbous looking thing that is on the front of the engine?
John, no problem. Send me a 40ft. container filled with JD G, unstyled AR and a nice and straight Ford Model A car over to Germany and I will put some old german tractors in for you and send it back.(quoted from post at 09:37:40 02/28/18) Love the looks of those tractors! How do I get one to
Minnesota?
