Reversing the Motor to drive backwards! 1921 Lanz Bulldog 12HP

Big thanks to my Dad for filming and letting me drive his pride and a joy! A 1921 Lanz Bulldog HL12. Such a cool machine! It’s a single cylinder two stroke 6.2L Hot bulb motor with wheels. These were mainly designed for belt work. This one likely started life as purely a stationary engine, with the chassis being added a few years later. In this video we reverse the motor to go in “reverse”, explain the starting procedure and show some of the details. If you have any questions please write them in the comments below. Thanks!

I don't know what's nicer, the Lanz or the beautiful 280SE.

Please do a tug of war with this vs the Unimog. Or vs a Case STX Steiger.

I lost a bet once, the guy said this engine runs at zero RPMs. I said 🤔 no way... Well, I lost the bet.
