Miniature 1945 McCormick W-4 Tractor
 ✖  |
After restoring a real 1945 McCormick W-4 tractor, I made a miniature version of the same tractor. It measures 5 ft. 3 in. long by 3 ft. high and is powered by an 8 hp Wisconsin rope start engine. A 12-volt generator mounts alongside the engine.
The mini tractor is built around the frame and 3-speed transmission of a garden tractor. The 760 by 15 rear wheels are off a self-propelled swather while the front wheels were store-bought.
The hood and grill are off a McCormick Farmall A. I cut three inches off the hood and three inches off the grill. The fenders were made by cutting a full-size tractor fender in half. I often drive both tractors together in parades. (Joe Kardos, 800 Agnew St., Prince Albert, Sask., Canada)
