Toy Truck Tires, stacking them with Terak

Toy Tires For Sale – Terak and me having fun stacking them.
Toy Tires- Over the almost 20 years I have made models I have collected several hundred tires . Everywhere i went I looked for different styles of tires for future projects.
Although I did use up over 200 of them over the years i still have over 200 , possibly 300 , and maybe 400 left. One of these days I’ll have to dig them all out and display them and put them for sale on e-bay for sale.
I wasn’t sure how long i would be making models but it has been great fun.
But I know I will never use up all the tires and rims I have collected. I should be able to get back full price on them and still be a good deal for the buyers as prices have doubled over the years.
I always got very excited buying tires and two or three times I remember buying 50 or 100 all at the same time and that was so exciting thinking all the models I would someday build.
Now I see myself slowing down on model building and going in the direction of building some half scale tractors with detailed plows on the back to sell. Not sure if there is a market for half scale tractors with implements but I know it will be fun to try.
God always opens a new door when another one closes.
I will still make a couple medium size models a year unless i get a request for a larger one.
1/2 scale implements – I know there are over 100 1/2 scale tractors around the U.S. people have built over the years. But very few of them have detailed plows or tillage equipment to hook behind them for cool displaying at tractor shows.
That is what I could get into and really enjoy building 1/2 scale implements.
It would be like building big models but back in the garden tractor world that i really love.
Half Scale Tractors For Sale- By next summer i hope to go to Buckley and Walloon Lake with a few 1/2 scale tractors for sale with several plows and tillage equipment.
This is a very exciting time for me.
Thanks to everyone who enjoyed my models all these years.
Komatsu pc-8000-6 – I have the big excavator half done and two or three weeks of work it could be close to being done. Hope your all having a great summer. Looks like another perfect summer day so call in sick and take the family to the amusement park for the day .
