Pennsylvania Panzer T70?

Recommended Posts

Pullstart

I thought this was a T60 but I am thinking it’s a T70 based on the grille shell?  I found some info here http://www.panzertractors.com/ModelIDHistory.html to tell me it’s a ‘60 or ‘61?

 

As mentioned in this Suburbans thread we traveled to ND for this and a handful of others.

It's a t75 panzer.  Looks nice, it's been repainted, I don't think the engine is original.  It missing the engine plate.  Just watch on those models with battery under the seat if "heavy" dudes are driving it......

I’ll get it figured out I’m sure.  What’s the difference?

I don’t doubt you there.  I realize many of them were Briggs, but I’m pretty happy that it fired right off!

I received this message from Bill at PanzerTractors.com

 

Hi Kevin.  That's a nice T758es Pennsylvania Panzer.  It's the best model, in my opinion.  It's an earlier one, because it has Panzer cast in to the grille instead of a sticker.
 
I have info on my web site, www.panzertractors.com.
 
I also have a Facebook page (Panzer Tractor) and YouTube videos (search for panzerclub.) Links are on the web page.

Just a little update on this machine.  At Portage last year, I had a coil blow out all the oil inside.  I ordered a good handful of spares, maybe 4?  It fires up ever time, just wonderfully.  For reference, I took a video of this beautiful restored example.

Well, having this tractor 3 years, I posted it for sale for quite a while.  Mrs. P liked the look, but never took many (any?) rides on it.  Going to maybe one show a year that she could cruise it, sitting in the barn was more common than any thing else.

 

We posted it locally and someone finally came to look at it.  She drove it out of the barn and kind of fell in love with the feel :(

 

Not wanting to go back on my word to sell it, I still showed it to the potential buyer.  Not being a tractor person, he was into weird and strange things and felt like it would be a good trail rider.  I don’t agree, but if I was ok with selling it, it’s not my call on what happens to it.

 

After a day of pondering, he came back with a trailer and hauled it away.  

I told Mrs P that I’d keep an eye out for a different one some day, and talk with her about it before springing for a trip to ND to buy it!  :lol:
