LANZ BULLDOG starting after 70 years 01-20 

A group of old men with a passion, and they trust each other. There is no way I would stand at the front of those caterpillar tracks (engine running) with a machine that has just been 'woken up' after almost a lifetime. A top video which takes us back in time.

All this awesome restauration work comes to a climax when the old lady sings again. Very well done chaps. I hope she is in for a ride soon! Greetings from the Netherlands.

Man, oh, man! You DID it! The noise and the smoke and the sudden acceleration is the unmistakably ID from those big belching `Buldogs´ pots! My respect!!

I was in Germany a few years back and come upon and "Old Tractor Show". The Lanz tractor actually comes with a blow torch and it has a storage compartment for it. The torch is to heat the cylinder head to aid in starting a cold engine. They are 2 cycle and thus can be started backwards. The guy I watched had a backward start after almost reaching TDC going forward, the compression shot the flywheel backward and it fired and continued to run. He had to shut the fuel off and start all over again. I did notice that men are the same the world over...they love to make noise with their tractors and the Land Bulldog was good at that!!

This is a nice Tractor from the bad Time , in German is this tractor a rarity . Best regards in the world from Germany 🇩🇪

3 old guys having fun

Those old tractors never ever die!

Great job team.Boys will be boys. She was angry at first. The little stinker. Loved it. Thank you.

Hi ! After all I've seen the engine turns a little too stubborn. As if it were sticking. The guy over here where I live has a Lanz Bulldog (wheels version) which is essentially of the same time range. And *he* got to start it with pendeling to and fro a couple of times and *then* kicking it the direction he wants to start the engine. That tractor has no reverse gear: you have to brake the motor under idle and then make it turn the other way round. It is a two-stroke and can do that. In addition: the banging noises in the first minutes of runtime are not normal. Something was essentially wrong with the engine or fuel injection point respectively. Nontheless: you did a great job on reviving this machine. It runs on almost any sort of oil. From cheap crud oil to peanuts oil or even old french fries oil - if filtered from crusty stuff. Running it on Diesel fuel makes the engine run a bit faster but also hotter with a shorter but faster expansion stroke. The guy in our town - for snorts and giggles - even ran his tractor on old motor oil, just for the shows. Well ... *that* created a very lot of black smoke. Well done. Keep it going. Old dinosaurs like that need a purpose.

2:40 the engine starts 3:10 the room is covered in thick fog Love it or hate it, but you can't ignore it :-D

Great video! It is a good feeling when after a lot of hard work they finally start!

This is wonderful to watch. Some real guys having fun.

Hello from Germany I just wabt to say how incredible i find your Work

Great to see and hear. Great job, gentlemen!

Great video. Thanks for sharing!

I used to work as a nurse for an old guy in his 90’S deaf as a post and a country boy through ad through, i remember him telling me or shouting at me how he would wake up the entire village starting one of these up in the mornings and people could hear him from miles away..

Three old boys working on the bulldozer and three old boys sitting and watching , hey wait I'm old boy !!!

I like Lanz machines. You start them, get coffee and when you come back, they have moved a few meters just by running stationary....😂

what more can one say other than Fantastic, I love it.

Thank you for stabilizing the video!

Beautiful machine, looks good , sounds good, probably smells good, very nice. Tony, Australia.

Hell of a drum solo

Where is it, in witch Country ? It looks like a museum ? a Lanz Bulldog has a great Sound better than all other Traktor’s. 😃 Best regards from Germany 🇩🇪

hahaahaha....when the animal awake ! 10ltr capacity in 1 cylinder . greetings from germany

That's so cool. I like the way you guys start trying to talk to each other whilst reving the tits off it.

During the war our German Kriegsgefanger took charge of the farm tractors including two Bulldogs. A one-time tankman was in charge and started ours with explosive cartridges. As boys we were enlisted to 'help' by keeping one or the other rolling along while he and his mate went 'behind the hedge'. Getting round the headland with a 14" plough was all the two of us pre-teens could do.

Ahhh... the politics of starting an engine! It's the same in any language. I miss my Grandpa.

Admirable dedication in caring for an old tractor, you could perhaps started it up outside to prevent CO accumulations inside the building?

A great Alarm Clock - if you can wind it up! Many can't.

always start an old Lanz in a garage or better even: the living room !

Sheesh... Just a bunch of old men playing with big noisy smelly toys! ;) (Great work by the way)

Definitely no mosquitos in that shed. Great old machine.

Ah the iron men and wooden ships still survives great job men!

impressive,,another people,another time, another sound!

One hell of a Drum Solo!

That would have been hard to watch without the image stabilisation you used. Good job

I’m not sure it will Pass California Emissions.

schnitzel and bier all around fellas. good job and stay active and young

Near the end ya'll had that thing thumpin' over like clockwork. Noice!

Itzik your Lanz start and runs but you have problems at injector and you control the engine phase and regulator

Love the hand signals. Lol

What one SOUND man💪

Great job fellas. 😀.

Am I the only one that got scared the shit out of when he first quickly zoomed in on the bulldog? I thought it was a manican at first.

An old Bulldog growling and snarling when woke up by the postman!

We can still sell it today as fumigation machine 🤣🤠😇 See not an insect survived in this room But a very nice video 👌🛩️🤠

Very Nice Sound.

What a fabulous sound!

old caterpillar starting up....good video.

Good sound engine!

This is in Israel.. how cool is that! The vehicle must have a very interesting history! Can you comment on that? Cheers

Nicely done, also good that you stabilised the video!

That was really good!!! You all certainly know what you are doing!!

I love it!!

Well done! It runs!

sehr schön , bei uns geht es auch bald wieder los ;-)

I hate how a lot of my generation does not care about history i am a gen z

great job ! great history of technical progress :)

The old girl beat boxing 😊

herrlich wenn so alte sachen wieder am tuckern sind

Jeez.i can see my arm getn busted on startup

Ahhh heck, just add a little Lubrimoly to it, itll clear up juuust fine😀

what a great pity there are no young people there to learn from these old timers about how this thing works, starts and runs

I´ve visited Israel 10 years ago and still suffer from the sunburn...I wonder, if you really need to pre-heat :-)

just want you to know this is great

Those things pull like crazy with tires... I wish I could see that one pull against a newer toy

Love all the smoke!

I'd be scared just to be around that thing....

clicked on like when I saw the Israeli flag! you guys are great.

I would do that outside or open the roof, brrr. Love diesels but never liked to inhale it inside.

Sound like going to explode or a rock group. What is the heating for? Diesel non battery heat starting trick?

Ха-ха! В начале дедок нормально на него матернулся. Сразу понимаешь от куда он...

She appears to be a bit cranky waking up from her 70 year nap

Ventilation gentleman, ventilation 💯

Respirer cette air là c'est infernal bon pour un mal de tête carabiné!!!!!!!!!

You see a tractor, I see a Renault FT-17 Tank lol

Good job fellas!
