This post is for Jonathan but anyone else that mist out in their early years in making one of these.

The post in the toy swap thread with the lovely purple heart wind up "tractor" toy reminded me of how much fun these were when i was a kid.

Perhaps you can introduce your grandchildren or other kids to them again and keep them alive.

Here is how they are made this guy most certainly did not invent them.

But better still here is you tube video of two climbing and racing.:D

Enjoy i think i might make one again just for fun. :)
 
Thank you Rob. I had never seen one of these tractors before. The video was beneficial! It will be an assignment for my advanced students, hope to post a few of the successful ones later this year. Now I know how to grade them, both on accuracy of fit and finish as well as crawling ability. :thumb::thumb:
 
Well you learn something new every day
as the the saying goes.:) Thanks Rob, i'll
have to file that one away for a rainy
day project with my grandson/s. :D :thumb:
