RE: Homebuilt Tractor from Junkyard Car Parts - a Repost for Steemmakers
This is a great project! This reminds me a lot of the Mother Earth News tractor from the late 1970s that used a Volkswagon transaxle for the drive chain.
I've seen that article. They made a pretty nice tractor with a PTO as I recall.
I always wanted to do something like that, but I never had the money for the parts. Now I could probably come up with the parts, but I live in town and don't need a tractor. :-)
You might not need a tractor, but that isn't a good reason to put off starting a cool project. Some day I want to do another machine building project using all hydraulic mechanisms.
Here is the second part of the story of the homebuilt tractor including the part where I caught myself on fire:

This is a really cool project!
