SINGLE MINDED

Now this is a real tale of reunion. After it was bought brand new by his father in 1955, Jim Kelly waved goodbye to this unusual 13hp Lanz in 1962 when it was traded in for a larger model. In his later life Jim became something of a Lanz collector, and always pined for that little tractor from his youth, but assumed it was long gone. Lo and behold, in 2007 a chance meeting led to him being reunited with it, 45 years after he last saw it. However, it needed a full restoration, as Andrew Pollock finds out.
