steph77 Posted October 18, 2017 (edited) Hello, I present here a small agricultural tractor.The origin of this model is simple. It has an educational value. I used the subject to begin explaining to my son the basic principles to achieve his own models.The purpose was therefore to explain to him the following principles:- Steering rack, steering wheel.- How does a pendular axle work?- The U-joint how does it work?- Differential utility,- Realization of a simple transmission,- How to properly cross a transmission axle and a steering shaft,- What is a gearbox? ; simplified application in on / off mode for a function.There were finaly lots off things to explain. And the result is a nice tractor, playable simple to build.Here it is : About the design, we are on a MF235 base or something like that, (it's not really important;)Some other views:The rear linkage is three-point type, the PTO is in the central position, offset from the wheel axle for realizing a transmission axle with the gearbox wich is located under the steering wheel and allows to put the PTO on/off. Closer: The lifting is carried out by means of a simple mini-cylinder controlled by a crank located on the left side of the tractor: The hood is openable, of course, and we have a small engine L3 in direct drive on the differential of the rear wheels: We added some details, such as a pseudo oil gauge: Small zoom on the PTO control, under the steering wheel: The front axle is pendular (thank you to the neighbor who showed it in real life to my son), a view of the driving position, with the high exhaust pipe , in order to not 'Gaz' the farmer :) And finally the traditional view from below or we somewhat sacrificed the possibilities of crossing by installing the mini-actuator, but ...Who cares?In the end this Moc comes back to me rather well, it fulfilled its first role;)What else?

Paul Klop Posted October 18, 2017 Looks good! I love that you used this to learn your son the basic principles . ope he will build something like this himself Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leonardo da Bricki Posted October 18, 2017 Very nice model. Simple looks, with the emphasis on functionality. Exactly what Technic should be! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paknaloid Posted October 18, 2017 You should submit this to Ideas - it would make a lovely official set, at a nice low price point, ike an ideal intro to the Technic range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
agrof Posted October 18, 2017 What a wonderful MOC, project goal is reached, perfect demonstration material as all the functions are visible on the spot, still clean lines. I like it very much! Should be an instant LEGO set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aminnich Posted October 19, 2017 The tumbler tires work really well as turf tires for a tractor, but in this case, this type of tractor is meant for out in a field plowing or seeding. I do like the MOC, but as others have mentioned, CLAAS tires would be better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LucyCol Posted October 19, 2017 Looks good, reminds me of the 'Little Grey Fergie' I learnt to drive on many moons ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steph77 Posted October 19, 2017 Thanks all! I do have tried the Claas tires but i needed to take the mudgards by two studs higher than actualy and it give him some disproportionnated look. I'll try to post a picture in this configuration... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan_M Posted October 19, 2017 I like it, the best tires would be fischertchnic 80mm tractor pattern: They fit the same rim you have like they are from lego. I have them for same purpose - to build a smaller tractor but they are in drawer for quite a long time now, no time.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thirdwigg Posted October 31, 2017 I love the simple features of this MOC that function well and add realism to the tractor. Yet again another great MOC that has inspired me. I look forward to more creations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkBu Posted February 4, 2019 It's really creative work. I love Tractor and am also associated with the Massey Ferguson Tractors company in Botswana. Your Best Regards Mark Bu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeamThrifty Posted February 4, 2019 It kind of reminds of the original 851 - just a modern version - thats a compliment by the way!! if you've never seen this guys video's, you really need to.. they're totally awesome.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hpil Posted February 4, 2019 So here's an off topic, ultra nerd lego meets tractor question: 851 - is it based on an mf 165 or an mf 135? Great model by the way @steph77! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steph77 Posted February 4, 2019 No idea for the reference model Thanks for comments, i thought this topic asleep for a while Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is a terrific little build and as others have commented, it’s very reminiscent of the 851. Really well done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steph77 Posted February 4, 2019 This model isn't that complicated. I can make ldd model if you want. It can be done quite quickly. Max 600 parts I think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
