I am guessing that it’s a Diesel engine. This fella that put the description on his videos puts petrol instead of diesel some times by mistake. Caught him at at it before and was teasing him about it.

And that’s just a guess in the picture, in the red, that could be in that tractor.

In that case, a 659cc diesel engine will have torque at 2000 rpm, no joke, more than the 16HP Onan, would be my guess! OK, now it makes sense. :D

FYI - There is currently a Ransomes Tracked Tractor in the Ontario FB Marketplace listings... Just in case any of you need another "project" :rofl:

That’s a really cool crawler! With those narrow tracks I think I’d be stuck pretty quickly.
@propane1 you made me curious! I had to go look up the Field Marshall and the Lanz.

Found a couple of videos. The Lanz used the steering wheel to crank the engine.

The Field Marshall was the shotgun start.

Pretty cool stuff!

I love that Lanz bulldog. Wish I had one. :( One huge cylinder, two stroke, and diesel. Now that's a thumper like no other.
