Look Alike Steam Engine To Mount Over Allis Chalmers Lawn Tractor
Kids love this look-alike steam engine I built to mount over my Allis Chalmers lawn tractor. Four bolts hold it on and it's got its own battery, lights, horns, radio and public ad-dress system. To go back to mowing, I just lift the train off and put the mower back on. For parades I made 5 cars out of 50-gal. drums to pull behind the engine. One kid rides in each car. I also pull a sign car with a message on it and have painted a message on the side of the engine. I also take the train to schools where I use bigger, open cars that hold more kids. (Richard A.
