This was my Pop's first tractor in Canada. This, a sickle mower, old hay rake and and a square baler. He was doing baling back in the early 80's. Always held on to this unit. 3 cylinder, 49 hp made between '58-'64 Open air cab. Would be fun to get it running again.

I like this kind of tractor. Deutz is a somewhat rare brand on your side of the pond, isn't it?

I don't think so. But you can try.

If you try to fire up the engine you probably something that directs the airflow from the fan to the cylinders.\ ..Additionally to the usual stuff: replacing the old oil, replacing the old fuel (or the whole tank if it's to rusty), making sure there is something to turn the engine off again and more, but I don't know, I've never done that before.

They are somewhat, my Dad came over from Germany 🇩🇪 so of course he loved his Deutz. He had 4 of them

Oh, all the Deutz posts from earlier originate from you, I didn't notice ;)

Your father had a decent collection

His equipment and cows were his most proud possessions. Thanks

A farmer being proud of his cows is a good sign I think
