The Hanomag Granit 500 is a compact agricultural tractor manufactured by Hanomag during the 1960s. Hanomag, a long-established German engineering firm, specialised in the production of tractors and industrial machinery for farming and general haulage work. The Granit 500 succeeded the earlier R 332 Granit model and became a workhorse for smallholder and mixed farms across Europe, valued for its robust construction and manoeuvrability in confined spaces.
This 1963 example is powered by a water-cooled four-cylinder diesel engine, model D21 CR, fitted with a swirl-chamber combustion system. The engine has been substantially rebuilt within the last 150 operating hours, with approximately €2,000 invested in motor and technical work. The engine produces 40 horsepower, achieved through increased revolution speed during the production run. The four-cylinder design employs a four-point-bearing crankshaft, overhead cam arrangement with hanging conical valves, oil-bath air filtration, and pressure-circulation lubrication with mesh-screen filtration. Engine management includes a centrifugal governor and a dual-circuit thermostat-controlled cooling system.
The tractor is presented in a notably original condition and is roadworthy. It remains largely unmodified from its factory specification, making it representative of the Granit 500 design as produced in that era. The machine is located in Germany.
