How much effort and how long did it take to make these little marvels ? Who about telling us what went into them and how you made them? They are terrific. Look to be museum quality!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He said it took 3 years on the WD. The WD has 3 gears and has a Tecumseh engine disguised under there. The back wheel centers came off of a garden tractor, he made the outer wheels to have the adjust bars on them. The hydraulic do go up and down. Lots of welding and grinding he said. The fenders he made a wood block mold. Cut cardboard to fit it..then took the pieces of cardboard and put them on the sheet metal...then he cut out the fenders and welded them together and ground the welds. YOu could never tell by looking that the fenders were welded. He has another one at home he is working on. The WD is gear driven rear end the WC is a chain drive he said. He has never tried the plow and said he probably never will. The clutch is weak on the WD he said. Just amazing work. Thousands of hours I imagine.
