By foot. Why are you asking?

                                        Hallo
Habe eben mit einen alten MAN Fahrer teleforniert,der bei Firma Grube war/ist,sie hatten ja viele S Tüpen
Zu der Kotflügelbreite meinte er,die 11-38 und die 13-30er Bereifung hatten die schmalen Kotflügel (44cm) ,
und die 15-30 hatten die breiten Kotflügel (50cm) .
Überprüft es bitte selber,die Bereifung ist ja in Brief eingetragen  .
                                               Gruß Jens

Because there were 2 types differentials/ rearaxles.
You have the 20/18-2 gearbox/rearaxle.
But there was also the heavier 20/28 rearaxle.
I asked this because i wanted to know which version
is in your tractor.
Ask the old tractor driver in the picture above which suspension your tractor has had on the frontaxle, was it a leafspring or a massive construction.
Are there perhaps more pictures of the tractor in his early days.
Kindly regards, Michael.

OK! Interesting information! The original frontsuspension is gone...but I believe it was leafspring type...I just bought another
donor tractor, where the the suspension is intact, so that problem is solved...

I am still hunting for more old pictures... the original owners wife is still around, and I have been told that there are some pictures in the family album

There has been only 3 owners before me...the first one passed away 1965, and I have talked to the two others, so I do have a pretty good grip on the tractors history...

The picture belove is from when I picked up the donor tractor a couple of weeks ago...my wife is pretty "amused" when we did drive more than 2000km roundtrip to pick it up

Good luck with your restoration,it's always nice when one of these tractors ends up in the right hands!

Good evening,
This is the one from Sweden?
The original dataplate is still attached when i look right.
It must have been outside for quite a few years.
Are all the missing parts gone?
Tell your wife you did a good job and greetings from Holland.
Michael.

Yes, I picked up this one in the south of Sweden...and most of the missing parts are gone, so I will use this one for parts to my other one...

I have no idea how long he has been sitting outside...maybe 30years or more...

Hello,


Your 4s2 for parts seems to be quite complete, except for the engine and fenders? It could be a good base for magne's 6 cylinder dream, without having to sacrifice a good 4cyl 4s2. 

Greetings

I had to bring the partsdonor inside for stripping off parts before winter comes... unfortunately I found a crack in the bottom of the rearendhousing...I think it mast have been water inside and then frozen... guess I have to get it welded...
