Greg and Laenette Guilford’s ‘76 Deutz D7206 looks well-kept and regularly used. Green was the traditional Deutz color, the shade of which changed slightly over the years. The chassis color changed from a silver to a darker gunmetal around 1971. The orange wheels were traditional until near the end of 06 Series production, when they changed to an argent silver.
Here you can see how the tractor is split. Look carefully, and you can see the stacks are at different levels meaning the tractor is oscillated.
It’s been said operating a TC-12 is “different” but relatively easy to master and with maneuverability that was a delight. The TC-12 could pivot in place, among many other attributes. Having two engines and transmissions, it has two sets of controls and gauges. Plus the stereophonic sound only a pair of Screamin’ Jimmies can deliver. The TC-12 could be steered via the brakes or the throttles, as well as each transmission. It had three transmission ranges (plus the torque converters) in forward or reverse.
