I have wanted one of these tractors ever since I saw a picture of one online, so finally I have one I managed to find a person who imported tractors for a living, about a year ago I asked him if he could find me a panzer. A couple of months ago he did and a deal was done, it took five weeks to cross the Atlantic Ocean from the tractor originally being sold in Illinois. On Saturday me and Dad drove up to shropshire to collect it from his Farm. I must say I am very pleased with it. Here are some pictures. As you can see it has had some painted applied in an odd fashion, and I knew the original paint was underneath. So a few hours of light sanding etc I managed to get the end result with a light coat of oil to make it shine.

Out with the old. In with the new.

Home from a great day in Hampshire The Bill Targett rally had a good attendance in all sections, the Horticultural section had a varied and interesting entry . Here's some photos of what was there...

Here's my 77 Power King 2414 "Elvis" with home built FEL

Some new additions to my O&R collection picked up today at a rally in Hampshire Orline chainsaw and hedge cutter, O&R engine with reduction box and a spares engine All well restored by Darmic1, he wanted to move them on so I wasted no time in making an offer ! Many thanks to Darren, rest assured they have gone to a good home.

Awesome

Great photos Paul

Looks good Chris. Don't recognize the bench though. New build, or just uncluttered since my visit. Have you found the Myford serial number yet. ?

Nice addition to the collection Harry, well done mate

Thats very nice Harry Do you subscribe to Lawn and Garden Tractor magazine from the USA ? LAGT has had some Panzer articles in the magazine in recent times, and I'm sure they would be very interested to see that one has made it "across the pond"

After a lot of head scratching and taking a very rough guess, I would definitely say YES.

Open day and Spring fair at the collage tomorrow May 12. Its usually a good day out with plenty to see and arena events throughout the day, I shall be there displaying my 1933 chicken plucking machine hopefully it will be a good day.
