Discovery and Restoration of a “Blue Mauritius”<\/h3>\n
\n

\"EdgarA special MWM moment from Edgar Pohl<\/strong>
\nIn 1985, I was visiting a friend. While we were looking at my photo album, an older friend joined us. He remembered something about a very old tractor. What he said caught my attention, and a few days later we started out together in order to take a look at the said tractor. It turned out that he had forgotten the exact location.
\nIn the afternoon, after several attempts, we finally reached an object covered with a large canvas. The older man was sure that we had found the right place.<\/p>\n

This was the tractor we had been looking for. The owner was somebody he knew well from the past. Over a glass of liquor, we sat in the living room and explained the actual reason for our presence. We examined the tractor, which was incomplete, but nevertheless in a very good condition.<\/p>\n

Photograph: Edgar Pohl is happy to see the motorhorse restored to an operable state some 95 years after it had been produced.<\/em><\/p>\n

I was overwhelmed. I had never seen such a tractor. Nobody knew the brand or the model, but I knew I wanted to buy that tractor. Thanks to my friend’s efforts, I was able to get it. Without having to pay for it immediately, the purchase was agreed with a handshake.<\/p>\n

Back home, I sat down with another tractor enthusiast to do some research. We found out that I had purchased a veritable “blue Mauritius”: a 1925 MWM motorhorse.<\/p>\n

Thereafter, the motorhorse stood untouched in my collection for more than 30 years until a former MWM employee heard about it. After a number of visits and contacts, he convinced me to have the motorhorse repaired. At the 10th club anniversary of the vintage tractor enthusiasts of D\u00f6rrenberg, St. Wendel\/Saar, the MWM motorhorse was for the first time showcased and presented to the public.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
