John Deere-Lanz 100 and 700 – the 0-series from Mannheim after the 1956 Lanz takeover: two to four cylinders, 13.2 to 36.8 kW
After John Deere took over Heinrich Lanz AG in 1956, tractor production at the Mannheim plant initially continued under the dual John Deere-Lanz brand; the models of the 0-series, such as the 100 and 700, carry the type numbers ending in 00 typical of these transitional years, before the range was switched to 10-series numbers shortly afterwards. The engines are two- to four-cylinder diesels. The classic Lanz Bulldog with its slow-running single-cylinder hot-bulb engine was technically outdated by this point; John Deere replaced it with new multi-cylinder direct-injection diesels, initially keeping both the name and the plant location.

The register lists 2 versions of 13.2 to 36.8 kW (18 to 50 hp) from two to four cylinders of 1,183 to 2,705 cm³ at 2,400 to 2,500 rpm, unladen weights from 1,230 to 2,300 kg, lengths from 3,120 to 3,390 mm, widths from 1,470 to 1,650 mm and heights from 1,388 to 1,585 mm; torque on one version is 170 Nm.
The 0-series marks the transition from the Lanz Bulldog heritage to modern, multi-cylinder John Deere diesels and was common on medium and larger arable farms in West Germany, where it competed with Fendt, Deutz and Eicher.
On a used example, what counts is the condition of clutch, gearbox and rear axle, tightness of the injection pump, rust on wings and bonnet, and parts availability, which for these early John Deere-Lanz models today runs only through specialist dealers.

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.
