The Klöckner Deutz restoration project of Jan Erik Palsson is going on very well. What it should look like in Wehrmacht trim (WW2 picture above).
Below; The sad looking hulk has now been cleaned and primed into a largely complete rolling chassis.
The bottom photograph shows the attachment of the firewall for the cabin. Inset we show an example of the rear coupling; made by Ringfeder, Rockinger or ADE which Jan is very keen to find for this project. Once again if any visitors can help with spares he will be pleased to talk with you about obtaining them from you.
As is sometimes the case in restoration circles the progress of a project can take longer than anticipated. In the case of the Klöckner Deutz A300 this is not helped by the acquisition of a 1941 example see below...
Progress can slow even further when, see below:
A 1943 example of a Klöckner Deutz is added to the fleet of restoration projects! It is often the case that collectors cannot fail to act when faced with "an opportunity" to acquire a further piece of wartime history. Jan is no exception as he also has the added distractions of a 1943 Steyr 1500A/02 and a 1943 Volkswagen 166 "Schwimmer" cope with.
We look forward to hearing more on the progress of these projects in the future, years f work ahead for Jan! If you can help with parts let him know.
