Title: Tractor, trailer to follow!
Post by: toolie on April 17, 2011, 01:09:31 AM

This was something I started to make before getting the new lathe, my past turnings had been done off the cuff, I thought it was time to try something from a plan.
I found the plans for this on teknatools website they are by Hans-Günter König.

Dave, that's one cool tractor, looks like the Lanz Bulldog, very much like are Field Marshal in design. from the plan you've got it spot on, just the trailer, lathe package...  ah and driver, very nice piece, show winner there, beautiful detail.

Hi David,
Thanks for the comments, I've made a start on the trailer, maybe next weekend I'll be able to post another photo of them together.

Well done for making the tractor, the fact that you have followed the plans and had to turn multiple pairs shows how disciplined youe turning is. I await the trailer.
Regards
John
