Electric-Powered Toy Tractor Pulling
We've started a new sport in our area - electric-powered toy tractor pulling. We primarily use power window motors and gears from 1974 to 1978 Chryslers in our tractors, which are made by Mo Powr. We add our own axles which turn the rear wheels of the toys. The tractors pull sleds which are weighted with the car batteries that supply the energy for the tractors. Pulling is done on a portable runway.
I've put on demonstrations at farm events around central Illinois and have discovered that this is an attraction that really draws people. We use 1/16 and 1/12 scale tractors only. All rules are contained in a membership agreement which we will sup-ply to anyone on request. We also have toy tractors available. (Leonard Pease, 42 Bisset St., P.O.
