Q: How do I know what year my Panzer was made?
A: There are several methods. Panzers were made from 1954 to 1970. With the exception of Penn88 models, they all shared a narrowed Plymouth automotive rear end. These rear ends were taken from junk automobiles, so they vary slightly in design and model year. There is usually a date cast into the 3rd member or stamped on the ring gear. They have been modified in such a way as to use a mechanical method to apply the rear brakes independently.
If you know the model number and serial number (from the ID tag), you can compare the info to other tractors sold by Allen Lawnmower. Download the database online at

If you have the original engine, you can date that part by serial number and model number. You can find most engine info at

Copar Panzers were made between 1954 and 1960. Panzers, Pennsylvania Panzers, Pennsylvania, Penn88 and Meteor tractors were made between 1961 and 1970.
