Spring startup of the Panzer

Figured I'd finish up the startups for this year. Here is my 1963 Panzer T70ES Tractor I restored in 2007. It has come a long way as you can see in the vid, but isn't quite done completely. I still have the carb linkages to finalize, now that I found the original parts, it'll go together. Was hard starting though, not common for a Briggs.

@BlueRevival I have a fairly good idea to what they are worth. Unrestored for $450 is a bit steep in my opinion. I've seen $300-$350 unrestored. All depends on what condition it's in and the model. The red T200 wide fronts and red T102 tricycle models are highly desirable, and if it's one of those, $450 is a good price.

The red T65's with the 2 speed pulley (instead of the 3spd) are hard to find also. The blue T70's and T75's are fairly common and go for about $300 - $400 unrestored I've seen.

@rangerglt Thanks! I usually drain all the tanks and carburetors of the tractors that don't get used for the winter. Beats dealing with the bad gas in the spring.

@austinhunt11 Nope it's a 6hp. I have another original Panzer engine, on the side it says 6hp and it's a 14 cubic in, same as the one on the tractor.

@specialks1953 Thanks! We haven't really tried the Sta-Bil yet. I've thought about running it through the gas but haven't really gotten around to it. Have to give it a shot next time I fill up the cans.

Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer is FANTASTIC stuff and I am not normally an additive kind of guy. I don't trust most addiives to do what they claim but Sta-Bil does what it says and better. I use it even when I am not going to store equipment. It is in every fuel fill up. My engines start noticibly quicker and run smoother than with plain gasoline. I protects the fuel system well. Even diesel. - - Very nice restoration you have done.
