Tractor Project

[GeorgiaCarver]

I have started a new project for a customer. I am chainsaw carving a Farmall 200 tractor.

I have carved the wheels out of pine, and the body out of pecan. I decided to attach the wheels to an axil for strength. I will cut a groove in the body and glue it in with gorilla glue, secured with a bolt or two.

I will do the steering wheel the same way, an axile with the wheel. The seat will be out of pine and will be bolted and glued into place. I plan on carving the details for the engine etc into the body. When done I will paint red for the tractor body and appropriate black for tires.

I will post pictures as I progress.

This is my first tractor so be kind :>)

Hi Greg,
Look forward to seeing progress pictures, thanks for sharing! Sounds like that tractor might be just the right size for a little kid to set on?

Well here is another update. Nearly roughed out. Still need to sand and paint. I am mostly happy with the carving.
