No, not the Lanz, but the Field Marshall. A friend of mine has one here in Australia that I did some work on recently. Yes, from England in the 1950's. Yes starting with a cartridge is an option, but does not have to be used. Normal procedure: Prime the oil pump Pull the decompressor Mount the large crank handle in to the flywheel on the side of the tractor Turn over for 2 or 3 compressions to ensure that the injector is primed and you can hear it squeaking as it injects Jig up the decompressor in to a large threaded worm drive on the outside of the flywheel Remove a paper holder from the combustion chamber, in the front of the tractor, insert a rolled up paper in the tube at the end, light the paper and insert the holder back in through the head Grab the crankhandle and give it all you have got! Does about 2 turns to get up some momentum, then the decompressor drops off the side of the flywheel and gives compression. HOPEFULLY you have enough momentum to get over the compression and it should fire up. Fantastic old tractor and sound just great. Pop Pop Pop, maximum revs around 700rpm. If I were clever enough I could post some photos. God Bless, Rex
