Lanz tractor

[Tapsa]

Hi all, I've been busy lately but now after two days in my work shop I've got parts differing in shape onwards.

Hi all HMEMs. Today has been a quiet day in the workshop. I put together a model of what the Lanz tractor looks like.

Are you manually bending the plate? It looks very neat and consistent.

Cheers,

Andrew in Melbourne

Hi Andrew, yes, I manually bend over the metal. I haven't been in my workshop recently and I haven't finished new parts. However, I have taken pictures of the parts earlier completed and
I put new pictures when I've got more parts finished.

Hi, I haven't forgotten you. I've done small parts and that is why I have not written anything here. Here is a small series of pictures what I have done, I have not taken photos of all the parts.

I am so enjoying this build. When I dream of making models I can't even dream of stuff as nice as your doing.

Hey, the Lanz tractor is slowly moving forward. One part at a time will be completed. I've built a test
tractor and tried to see if the parts fit together.

Hi, it's been a while from the previous update. Busy times, but I have got some small parts done and the build is proceeding. Sorry I can´t tell you more detailed how the work is going on. However, here some photos of the build.

That's looking really good. I've been looking at the possibility of making something similar myself.
All the best, Brian

Its looking great. It will be interesting to see if it develops the powered needed to get it moving.

I like this to be my next project.
I downloaded the drawing from grabcad.com
I also downloaded a free .step file viewer but does not work
Any of you know a good free viewer?

Thank Tapsa

I have worked on the drawing to create my own bill of materials and found a couple of dimension missing. Some can be guessed by the drawing scale but the crank Throw (1/2 of the stroke) is not given and the short side of the fuel tank is not given either. Have you managed to decode it?

Also the Coupling Belt listed as LANZ-5-01 has no drawing
The Bent Crank looking part LANZ-1-53A on sheet 4 is not on the list and could not spot it on any of the assemblies
Have any info on them?

You are doing great work at great speed.
