Hanomag Granit 500/1 (S): water-cooled three-cylinder diesel tractor with Lepoix-styled bodywork, 2,099 cc, 40 hp, or 29 kW, built 1966 to 1968
Hanomag, the Hannoversche Maschinenbau AG, was a German vehicle and machinery manufacturer based in Hanover. The bodywork styling of the Granit series of that period, which includes the 500/1 (S), was designed by the French industrial designer Louis Lepoix. The Granit 500/1 (S) was built from 1966 to 1968.

The Granit 500/1 (S) is powered by a water-cooled three-cylinder diesel engine of 2,099 cc, producing 40 hp, or 29 kW, at 2,400 rpm. At a weight of 2,100 kg, a length of 3,420 mm, a height of 1,540 mm and a width of 1,580 mm, with a wheelbase of 2,035 mm, the machine reaches a top speed of 20 km/h.
A three-cylinder diesel engine of just over two litres and 29 kW belonged, in the mid-1960s, to the upper mid-range of field tractors, suited to tillage with larger implements, trailer work and varied power-take-off tasks. Lepoix's rounded bodywork visually set the Granit apart from the manufacturer's more angular earlier series.
When buying a Granit 500/1 (S) secondhand, the condition of the injection pump and injectors of the three-cylinder diesel, and the cooling system of the water-cooled engine, matter most. Also worth checking are wear in the clutch and gearbox, the brakes, and the condition of the bodywork panels; spare parts for this common Hanomag series are usually still readily available on the open market.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Check front and rear tyre sizes: mismatched pairs strain the drivetrain.
- Shift the gearbox cold and warm — jumps only show up at temperature.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
