Could anyone please give me more information about the Buy-out or merger of John Deere and Lanz Bulldog, I have a friend who owns such a tractor. A Lanz Bulldog painted in the JD green.
Thanks

John deere bought the Heinrich Lanz factory in the 50's (54) after WW2 the factory (in Mannheim Germany)was destroyed. After the war the factory produced old style hot buld (1 cylinder)and in the 50's 1 cylinder models. After the war this tractor was to old...and the factory to poor...
JD bought the brand and continue to produce Lanz model...(in the 60's JD produced a own line of tractot) The tractor with the green JD paint aren't hot bulb. It must be a serie 16 tractor (1616 2016 2416 4016 6516...)
I have some of Lanz Bulldog (before merger with hot bulb engine) and they're painted grey or blue.

Redfire (France) I hope It's not to difficult to read my bad english !

Redfire,

Your english is very good. It's better than some of the posts I have seen here and on other websites.

By the way, what is a hot bulb engine? I have seen the question asked before but never saw an answer.

A hot bulb engine(half diesel) is a diesel 2 stroke engine , but the compression ratio is lower than a right diesel engine. To bring the fuel to be able to explose you must heat a bulb in the head with a gasoline or gas lead lamp.
Than the fuel is injected in this bulb (what make a smoke)and when air come this smoke explosed.
To crank a lanz bulldog engine you must remove the steering wheels, and rotate in the crankshaft.
