Tractor 851 was the first set I had when I was 8 or 9.
I wanted to make a new version but the set was already chosen by BrickBuildingFox for the contest. No matter !
So I will show you a studless version of the 2nd set I received few times after 851: the bulldozer 856.

I will build it at he same scale, and try to respect as well as possible the color scheme.
First step was to find the bag containing the parts, wash them, and after replace the parts (bushes, connectors 3651), brocken by the age, I built this old 856... Hopefully the gears were OK !
After I started by the bucket. I wanted it to be build with parts and not an all in one like black buckets. So here it is, the size matter the original version, 13 studs length and a flex on the Botton to close the hole.
