Q: How do I know what year my Panzer was made?
A: There are several methods.

If you know the model number and serial number (from the ID tag), you can compare the info to other tractors sold by Allen Lawnmower. Check out the database online at http://www.geocities.com/panzerclub/database/Allencards012101.html

You can also look up general information at http://www.geocities.com/wjanitor/how2date.htm

If you have the original engine, you can date that part by serial number and model number. You can find most engine info at www.yetmans.com.

If you still have questions, feel free to contact us at info@panzerclub.com. The more details you include, the faster we'll be able to help. Rear tire size, engine type/size and any markings/lettering will help!

Q: I'm looking for the proper color for my Panzer - what does the club endorse?
A: All 'big' Panzers, which include the Model A, T100 and T200 series, were red with yellow wheels/accesories and some black trim. Most of the 'small' tractors, T50 - T60 shared this scheme. All of these tractors say Copar Panzer on the front grille. Individual tractors may vary, and most were re-painted at some point.

Endorsed codes are:

RED: IH Red part#IH 2150 available at any local Case IH dealer in cans or quarts or gallons. This is the early Farmall Red used prior to 1960's.

Yellow: Cub Cadet Yellow part#759-3258. This is the old style Cub Cadet Yellow not the new style. Available at any Cub Cadet dealer in spray cans, or quarts.

T65 Copar Panzer, Panzer, Pennsylvania Panzer, Meteor and (I believe) Penn88 tractors were teal/aqua and white.

Teal:
Spray can: Krylon Teal #2015

Auto Paint: Sherwin Williams Tantalizing Turquoise (Custom Blend US-45277-00). This can be found in any automotive store that stocks Sherwin Williams automotive finishes.

White: TBD.
