The conversion was fairly easy, but due to the size of the wheels I should have found a bigger crown gear as it is ti high a gear as is, The tyres are the original hard plastic, so all to easy to drift. Once the "Toy Fairs and Swapmeets" restart I plan to look for a 1:32 scale tractor that has rubber tyres, as I have now found suitable motor gearbox units to provide lower gearing. More details on the New Holland T7040 here.

I was please in the way that the "sled" turned out. Always had it in my mind to build one. What is more the whole build was done with odds and ends that I had laying around. As is the "Sled" weighs 1000 grams.
I just like to try out different ideas with my builds, so some or the vehicles that I build are a bit unusual to say the least.
