NO NEED TO BURDEN YOURSELF WITH HEAVY WORK WHEN YOU CAN BUILD THIS MULTI-PURPOSE TRACTOR FOR $150. Although this little tractor may be a midget in size, it's a giant in performance. With plenty of power to do all the light hauling and towing jobs around the home or farm, it takes all the hard work out of these chores. In fact, you're going to have a problem trying to reserve that right for yourself. There's something fascinating about the little tractor at work, and everybody wants to get into the act. In addition to its usefulness for lawn and yard work, it could be employed in small plants, warehouses or airports for light towing jobs. The original machine was designed and built at a total cost of less than $150. This included a number of items that were bought new, such as the 2-1/2 hp. Brigggs & Stratton engine, tires, countershaft bearings, pulleys, and some of the raw metal stock. Naturally, this figure can be reduced by using second-hand materials. Although frequently mistaken for a factory-built machine, the tractor is built entirely from materials that are cheaply and easily obtainable in most localities. Construction follows conventional practice and requires only hand tools for the greater part of the job. Certain phases of the work, like the welding, you can have done at a local machine shop. As with most of these projects, the plans call for two coats of exterior grade enamel paint. Here's a my own tip. Use more paint. Don't stop at two coats, The project is so small, one full can of 10oz. spray paint has enough paint for 5 coats. Sand carefully between sprayings, and make the last spraying a coat of clear gloss. And manoman will it shine!! This package contains 6 pages which I have enlarged 125% for clarity and your reading entertainment with illustrated plans and step-by step construction detail.
