Introduction
Panzer Model A Garden Tractor
The Panzer Model A is a garden tractor produced in 1954 in College Park, Maryland, by the Copar company. This compact machine represents a significant example of mid-1950s American utility equipment designed for small-scale land maintenance.

The tractor is powered by a Briggs & Stratton 23 gasoline engine. This 376 cc, single-cylinder, air-cooled unit with a horizontal shaft delivers 8.5 horsepower (6.3 kW). It features a manual recoil starter and an oil capacity of 2.4 liters.
Transmission and Drive
The machine utilizes a gear-based transmission system providing one forward and one reverse gear.

The tractor weighs approximately 272 kg (600 lbs) and is equipped with 4.00-8 agricultural front tires and 6.00-16 agricultural rear tires.
