All the way from the USA - Panzer t70

[harryt 281]

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.

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"

Can you do me the contact details off the man who imports them, may be useful for me in the future...

Nice one Harry

I love that Panzer and the patina is just right.  Will you leave it as it is or restore it? Having bought my Bolens 600 from Ohio there is something special about getting a genuine Yank GT from over the Pond.

Leave it is as I prefer them like that

Hi Harry. Congratulations on your USA purchase. I am not familiar with panzer tractors, but looks like a real interesting little thing and hasn't cleaned up bad at all. I too would love to have the contact details of the guy that imports them, you never know when you might need them.

I'd be interested in knowing who the contact in Shropshire is?
