    One other project I'm collecting parts for is a mini tractor. I'm using an old Cub Cadet and going to build a small version of a 560 Diesel. I have a 7hp Hatz diesel I'm using on it. It may end up being some thing more practical to use than I first thought.

    yup,and we will also be asking if its been through any sort of engineering certification,like our cars have to..and it will have a carbon monoxide sniffer jammed up its a**,to make sure its not got too many nasty fumes,,ohh,and not to mention the decibel reading test,too..Cant be too loud,ya know...heheheheee

    Mike,
    Looking forward to seeing how you get into this project!
    we have a ''different''sense of humor,guys...Ask Steve(roadster 32)..As a lot of us have English forebears,it must be something to do with their dry sense of humor..You will get used to us/it..

    I can't believe one person, Pepi, doesn't like this idea. Is this the HAMB? Oops, did I just say that?

    We did, the car was built and the kids have been using it about a year now. Even got it motorized.

    Grandkids Coaster Car build.

    Unfortunately Cade is just about outgrown it (he really has to squirm to fit anymore), but his sister still fits and it won't be too long before his younger brother will be able to get some seat time.

    So as we speak the drawings and design work are into the correct Govnt. departments for planning approval so that you can build the next size up with the young man ? Don't they grow so quick and I hope that interest in all engineering that Grand dad sparked in the young man is still burning strong for the next project ?


    I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.
