How would you like to start this up regularly. Steering wheel starter is pretty cool.

Should be Lanz!

I think it would have either gotten a stater that worked or junked from what I saw. To much fooling around. Don't want to start at daylight to start it and get to the field at noon.

I thought they used a shotgun shell to start them,he must be out of bullets!!!

I'd trade it off for a team of horses!

Majorman · Feb 18, 2023

Not on a Lanz, you are thinking of a Field Marshall built in England. ( And, believe me, you would not want to put one of those shells in a shotgun. I know some one that did that by accident and the gun was never the same again). :0)

Not me, I'd take that over following stinking hayburners any day..

I know a collector that had a misfire. I dont know exactly what he did wrong, but the tractor is junk and he is no longer the same.

Looks like a good way to loose a few fingers...

Hey Mel--That's like starting a G Deere only it's right handed!!!---

Can someone explain the process? What was he pumping on the front,, what was smoking there after the pumping? And then for a minute before it started it was puffing smoke out the exhaust? Want is that all about?

LPgas only · Feb 18, 2023

IT IS plugged in to heat a glow plug. He is pumping fuel onto that hot glow plug and that makes the smoke.

Cool tractor and a very ingenuitive way to start it, but what a pain in the hind parts! I have a lot of respect for our ancestors. I regularly marvel at how smart they must have been to invent all that they did hundreds of years ago. How old is that tractor?

(quoted from post at 07:47:04 02/18/23) IT IS plugged in to heat a glow plug. He is pumping fuel onto that hot glow plug and that makes the smoke.

''Plugged in'', LOL! NO ''electric glowplug.

Actually, a gas-powered torch is heating the ''hot bulb'' protruding from the cylinder head.

You can see the ''hot bulb'' with the little cover beneath it where the torch is inserted to pre-heat the hot bulb before startup.

What would happen if it started up backward?

Would the steering wheel stay in and spin until you could get it shut off?

All the possibilities!

fastfarmall · Feb 18, 2023

Well i assumed they took the BB's out and just used the powder!

Majorman · Feb 18, 2023

We tried that once when we had run out of starter cartridges. Never even made the old girl kick!!!!! I never was sure but was told that the Marshall cartridge was filled with gelignite. At least it was packed with little tiny grey sticks about 2mm thick and about 4mm long. When you fire it the whole tractor nearly jumps off the ground.

The German company Lanz made them from 1921 to
1960.

John Deere bought them out in 1956 and fazed out
the Lanz name a few years later.
