Waking up a 1949 Lanz Bulldog

The Lanz Bulldog in museum De Locht, Melderslo, Netherlands. Start the engine after a sleep of more than 20 years! Watch my other video if you need a smoother engine!

@Pileggino Hi Pileggino,

The Lanz engine is a typical medium-compression engine, the end pressure after compression is somewhere between a typical gas engine and a typical diesel engine. For that reason it cannot ignite diesel fuel when cold. To help starting, the cumbustion chamber is heated from outside with a propane flame. If you want to do it in the style of the Lanz Bulldog, you actually should use a gas burner, as in my other Lanz movie.

Most of such old tractors I have seen are usually in a bad state(read: corroted to death), but this one has had some nice owners,who have taken care of this vehicle.
