Did not know there were so much Holder tractors in the U.S., I am an collector of Holder tractors. I live in Holland (Europe) and have a collectiom with about 100 Holders with my grandfather. When anyone has questions, do not be afraid to ask, I would like to help you very much. Here you find our collection:

My brother has an AM-2 which he believes was bored .030 inch over. The pistons are stamped 85 which we believe is 85mm. The rings in these pistons were frozen from sitting for a long time and two were broken trying to free them up. The problem is getting new ones with out paying an arm and leg for them. Prices quoted by Holder North America were 38 dollars U.S. each for the top three and 102 dollars U.S. for the bottom ring. Do you know of an alternate source that would allow him to get this great little tractor running again?

Thanks for any help in advance,

I own a AG3 from 1968 but I have a problem with the gear box.
Pinion of first and pignon of 2 &3 is broken.
I'm loocking for this parts.
Do you known if this parts are the same for a P60 ?
I have the part list for my AG3 but not for a P60.
Thank you for your answer.

I have just recently heard about the Holder tractors. The new ones look very impressive. I don't know what the 10-15-yr. older models' features are. I wanted to compare with mine.
Were they all made with Deutz engines? Where were they originally manufactured?

I have Pasqualis and PGS Roma 60, articulated.
I was wondering if you are familiar with the PGS in Holland?
I know there are not many , but i'm not quite sure about the value. I may want to sell one of mine some time.

The early models where made with:
Diesel engines from: Holder, MWM and Sachs
Gas engines from: JLO and Sachs
The first tractor Holder made was the Pionier, this model is from 1930. This was an 2 wheel tractor. The first 4 wheel tractor was the A10, 10HP with diesel engine. The tractors are manufactured in Germany in the town Metzingen. That's near Stuttgart. Holder is still making Tractors. The other tractors you mentioned I only know the Pasquali. Sincerely,

Niels

The HD engines where not so good. Halfway of the production there was a modification. They then used pressure lubrication. With that modification the oil filters also changed. It could be that you have an old manual and a "new" tractor. Don't know what kind of lubrication my A16 has. Have to take a look in the barn.
