He Made His Own "Sewing Machine" Tractor
After reading a story in FARM SHOW on "sewing machine" tractors (Vol. 32, No. 2), I decided to make my own. It has a "motor" made from channel iron with chainsaw spark plugs; a radiator fashioned out of an old wood rasp; a chrome exhaust stack; and a seat made from a small electrical box. There's even a drawbar on back. The rear wheels are off a golf bag caddy, and the front wheels from a shopping cart.
  I've made 7 or 8 different sewing machine tractors and sell them for $200 apiece. (Ted Slaght, 2247 Kurn Hattin Rd., Putney, Vt. 05346 ph 802 722-4062)
