765 Sunderland Road Concord, North Carolina 28027
The Panzer was complete with a mower deck. All that was missing
was the gas lever on the 6 HP engine. I have always wanted a Panzer
but could not afford it.
Now about the find: It all started out on a mid-July, 1995, hot
morning. My friend Bob Gabel and I went to look for some lawn
mowers and parts. It was not too easy to find this junk yard. I
could not believe my eyes: I wiped the sweat out of my eyes, and
there sat this Panzer beside a path. On each side of the path the
junk was about three feet high with weeds and grass and maybe
snakes. I may never go back to this place until there is snow on
the ground to freeze the snakes!
I asked the elderly junk man the price for the Panzer. It was
too high. I kept talking with him and made an offer. The man
finally took it. I couldn’t believe it.
Then it took a long time to dig the Panzer out. We had to move
tons of junk so Bob and I could get the Panzer to the trailer.
This find was almost on my birthday so it was the best present I
ever got, except the Lord. Hope you enjoy my photo. Does anyone
have any literature on the Pennsylvania Panzer? If so, let me hear
from you.
