Broken toys- Funny now looking back at these toy tractors and all the ideas I had to rebuild them into custom tractors . Many of them i got without tires and planned to put cooler tires on them . Little did I know within a few years I would not be building any more farm toys nor would i be building any toys that small . I still have days that I think about building small toys again but the planning , designing every hand made part is so time consuming . Dremel discs are so expensive and you go through so many of them when you figure out the many hours of labor involved in making a smaller detailed toy when I am done it figures out to less than minimum wage.
For now I am having a great time working on the garden tractors. None of them are completely done and this winter I will go back and finish each one of them. Although the hardest part is done on four of them they all still need more work. I want to take one of the other ones and rebuild it into a John Deere D . We had one of those on the farm too. Terak sure loves all the toys around here and next summer he will be 3.5 years old and even enjoy them more. Soon they will be heading back home but we sure have had a great time. The cooler weather has even been nice as we do not like 90 degree dry weather.
