Some years ago I found this Lanz stored in a barn here in Norway, and after a few years of persuading the owner to sell it I am lucky enough to be the new owner
The man who sold it to me told that his father was the original owner. Sometime during the 1980’s, his father had a large “service” on the tractor. Dismantled all covers, pipes, engine, axels etc., changed a few bushings & gaskets, cleaned it etc.
Next he made a video showing the start-up and maintenance procedure for this tractor, for his family to know in case of his death. Next he drove it into the barn and probably soaked it with penetrating corrosion resistant oil or similar. Some time later the man died, and the tractor remained in the barn for the next 25-30 years until I bought it. All I needed to do was clean the oil system, lube up the tractor, and then start up the tractor. It is now stored in my garage together with a few other similars.
I would like to get my hands on a set of rubber tires for this tractor. Original ones are not easy to find, so I am looking for alternative wheels. I am sure there are other’s like me that have made the swap from steel to rubber without using original wheels?
Does anybody know if there are any wheels that looks like the original ones, and will fit the D7500 without rebuilding ?
