Saved from the scrapper . Ain’t ran in 10+ yrs I’m told . The deutz diesels can rock by hand so I’m hopeful!!

Well they are new enough to have the quick attach. The next improvement that I like is the hydraulic tram vs the old cable. If you have the cable make double sure it is in good condition as there is no brakes. The treadle pedal is your only control to stop the machine.

@Poppy7094 great save! If the Deutz's move freely by hand, thanks a really good sign.

Do you know the backstory? Was it a municipality that had a couple?

All the best,

Peter
