Don’t send that old car to the crusher! Recycle it the green way by turning it into a walk-behind farm tractor. These free vintage plans show you how.
Homemade garden tractor has 4-cylinder power, differential,
dual transmission, starter, variable
tread and hand-controlled brakes.
Built from a few pieces of pipe,
pipe fittings and old auto parts
including the engine, this powerful
garden tractor handles all the larger
garden-tractor implements such
as a 10 or 12-in. turning plow, 5 or 6-
ft. disk harrow, any of the larger
cultivators, mowing machines, etc.,
with plenty of power left over for
the hard pulls. Because of its extra
weight and compact-unit construction
it’s easy to handle even on the
heaviest jobs. Stability and balance
plus a close throttle control make it
easy to steer and prevent whipping
of the handles so common the
lighter garden tractors.
