SheepEater Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Cool set. This and 8431 were the very first 2 sets I got out of my dark ages in 2002. I still have my videocassette that came with it, but my old VCR is in bad shape, Did anyone ever bothered to upload the video somewhere? Quote
DLuders Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 I don't own that set, so I looked hard on the 'net just now, but it seems that nobody converted the VHS videocassette tape into a downloadable file. The website listed on the last page of the Building Instructions ( www.Lego.com/PowerPuller ) no longer works: The 8457 Power Puller set has those big wheels and tires: Quote
legolijntje Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Does anyone know if there were versions with a dvd? Someone on www.marktplaats.nl (a Dutch version of Ebay) is selling a powerpuller with a dvd instead of a video. Here you can see some pictures. To me it looks not homemade, because even the disc itself has a printing Quote
SheepEater Posted December 30, 2012 Author Posted December 30, 2012 (edited) The now defunct Power Puller website also had instructions for a dragster alternate model (in a friggin flash animation). I saved it to my hard drive, printscreen by printscreen, and then a few years ago I sent them to http://www.brickfactory.info Edited December 30, 2012 by SheepEater Quote
DLuders Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 @ SheepEater: You must mean BrickFactory.info , but I don't see any alternate B-Model instructions posted there -- only the 8457 A-Model: Quote
shadowhearth Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 the onl thing that is good about this set - wheels.... not my cup of tea at all. bad color too. shapeless... meh... what lego should really do is to make one more set with these wheels. price of those wheels will be soon bigger then second hand model it self...

MMR1988 Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 the onl thing that is good about this set - wheels.... Now, not only the wheels. Look at the yellow angled connectors #4 - it's the only set with this part AND the 1 x 6 thin liftarm, the flex system cable and the flex system hose... I bought a second hand model a couple of weeks ago but it wasn't complete. So I have to wait for the missing parts... /Max Quote
skylinedan Posted December 30, 2012 Posted December 30, 2012 Sad part is I bought a 8421 in the spring, and it had a full set of the tires in with it. I later put them on E bay, really stupid idea on my part. I didnt think Id have a use for them and figured I,d get good money for a complete set. I got 25 bucks for all four of them. Now I want too build a newer version of this set only with larger motors like the true unlimited tractors we have here in the states. Dan Quote
