Wood Farmall Looks Real

Wood Farmall Looks Real FARM HOME Novelty Items Over the years Bill Dyche has restored tractors with his father and fixed up many of the pedal tractors in his collection The tractor that stands out however may be the one he made out of wood It looks like a Farmall F30 in pedal tractor size His reason for choosing that model tractor is simple “My dad and I had restored a Farmall F30 and so I could work off of that ” Dyche explains “I did it by eye by guess and by gosh ” The only non-wooden parts are the wheels steering wheel and seat Dyche notes that fellow woodworkers complimented him on his tractor but cringed when he covered up the walnut wood with Farmall red paint Like all the pieces in his collection Dyche wanted the tractor to resemble the real thing He made a 3-bottom No 8 plow to go with the tractor It’s just one of the dozens of implements he’s made for each of his 40+ pedal tractors The metal implements include a manure spreader planters grain drills auger cultivators sprayers and other equipment Dyche 75 says he builds the pieces “for fun ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Bill Dyche 110 Country Place Dr Jacksonville Ill 62650 ph 217 245-9131
