Been working on this German Holder tractor since February and thought I would post a few pictures. The original Sachs two stroke diesel was totally worn out and parts for it were pretty much out of the question here in the US and not all that common in Europe. So I built an adapter and bolted in a 14 hp K321 Kohler that I had in the shop. Really wasn't that hard as the clutch is in the back of this tractor not in the bell housing. Made all the pieces here in my shop with a welder. drill press, lathe and an old Atlas mill. I didn't do anything that would keep you from bolting the diesel back in it if I ever found the parts to rebuild it. Tractor is a Holder A 12 built in 1960. The last picture is what it looked like when I started. It's been a fun project!!
