Old Tractor MOC

[DaanBrickProjects]

Hello all.

This is my first post on Eurobricks and therefore also my first MOC. I have always been very inspired by the agricultural vehicles from, for example, erictrac and thirdwigg and have therefore decided to design a model myself. I hereby present to you my Old Tractor MOC. It has several functions:

-        Steering

-        PTO-shaft connected to the rear wheels

-        Working two-cylinder engine.

I spent a long time tweaking the model repeatedly and I am very pleased with the result. At the moment I am still working on making a simple attachment. I have also ordered all the parts, when I receive them all I will post more photos. Currently, I am also making instructions for the model.

The model has been built in Studio 2.0. Therefore I was able to create some renders.

Please let me know what you think of the model.

Welcome to Eurobricks! That looks quite well done. What part are you using for the seat? It's quite a nice usage!

Yes interesting indeed, looks like a shoulder pauldron from a mech/figure or some similar mech armor.

Wlelcome to EB!

Nice tractor. 

I think, you used eurobrick to share pics. eb is not meant for that. Use bricksafe.com or flickr f.i. . Then just paste link to picture here, it will embed.

Really cute model :-)

The fenders are always hard to do, they will come off easily with only studs fitted onto pin holes.

Thanks for your comments!

Yes, it is a shoulder pad used in the large buildable figure sets. Large Figure Armor, Round, Smooth 21560.

Yes, I attached the files in Eurobricks. Thanks for the tip! I will then create an account on Flickr!

Thank you!

True, I have built a lot of versions of the fenders and have tested many ways to connect the fenders to the model. Using the brackets was the best option and they are still well secured.

Cute little trac; fender problem is why I make modrls that uses CLAAS tires and use #3 connectors (despite fenders ended twice thick as it should be)

Really nice job @DaanBrickProjects. Welcome to Eurobricks b.t.w.

Great little tractor, and welcome to Eurobricks. I am glad that some of my builds have inspired you; I certainly see some influence from the Vintage Tractor here. I look forward to what attachments you are able to complete.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments.

Yes, the Vintage Tractor gave me the idea to make a tractor on this scale. It's a nice scale because it's not too big, but big enough to add many details and functions. The Vintage Tractor also gave me ideas for the steering system and wheelbase.

I made a simple attachment: a transport box. This attachment can be attached to the tractor instead of the towbar.

The parts arrived and I have built the model. This allowed me to take some nice pictures.

The instructions for the tractor are also finished: https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-169171/DaanBrickProjects/old-tractor-moc/.
