Holt Track Layer

[Muleskinner]

This model was started a long time back and shelved because of the lack of tracks. At the Farming and equipment show at Harrisburg the first of the year I was fortunate to find a set of tracks for it and was able to finish it up.

The engine is an old mack engine which I modified by adding cross valving rocker arms and making a few other modifications to make it look like an early 1914 model engine. The whole of the Tractor is built from evergreen plastic from a lot of old pictures I found of the unit, during research. Hope you like it.

This model is like." Quite, Artist at work", I saw one of these at a tractor show(1to1) and it didn't look this good! Models like this make for a great thread. Fred

William,
Outstanding. I have to ask, was there a name on the package the tracks came from? Or do you remember who you purchased them from?

Rick,

I have no idea on the tracks. The guy who was selling them had a bunch of old broken toy farm equipment and the tracks were laying loose in the box.
