I would get in contact with some clubs over the ocean (England). They should be able to set you in the right direction. Lanz tractors are few and far between around here and you will pay a arm and leg for one here. It would be cheaper to have one shipped from over the ocean.

Get one shipped over from Europe. Dad had the pleasure of growing up around them before coming tomCanada...pop pop pop...

Here are bunches, but they are in the UK.

There are quite a lot of them also in Germany, but they are kept dearly by the owners. For this very reason new oncomers resort to the later built Ursus tractor, which is essentially the Lanz Bulldog.

I have seen it done with a Rumley Oil Puke. Money can get you any tractor you want, just need to be willing to spend it.

Your welcome, and good luck in your search.

Just a tip, be careful while searching. You could get a virus real quick. I only go to sites that my antivirus software says is ok.

Hi,

In the 1930s, the German company Heinrich Lanz A.G. had as much as 60% of the tractor market in Europe, and its tractors were exported worldwide. You can find them all over Europe, from Norway to Greece, but also in Australia and Brazil. Most Lanz Bulldog tractors can be found in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium, but they are very desirable and quite expensive there. You can get tem cheaper from other countries.

I was close to buying a complete Lanz Bulldog from Norway for little money, which was used by the German Army to build coastal fortifications in 1941.

A cheaper alternative are very similar Polish Ursus C-45 or Argentine Pampa.

Good luck

A friend with his Bulldog.

He had it shipped over in a container from Germany. He joked that it would run on anything, even buttermilk!

Apparently, my grandfather had a trucking company and trucked these out of Manheim. My Dad often spoke of his experience as a young man on a Bull Dog. I found the motion of the piston going back and forth along the length of the tractor to be somewhat nauseating.
