That is just too cool!
This is actually Toys and Joys Pattern #70. I designed all of the laser engraving files but the plans for the grader were someone else's work.Another great build, Ken. Where do you get the instructions for these or do you actually design them?
PS love the coffee cup with the tree that is behind the grader. We have a few pieces of that pattern.
The more I look at it, the more I hate it and the more it bothers me. Looks like Wednesday is going to be a recovery day to replace 3 tires on a model but even though it will probably take the whole day (it took two full days to make 6 wheels) I will be happier with the end result. The old wheels, no matter how I look at them, have backwards treads so they will become designer firewood for the wood stove.I'd make the other 3 tires, retain the replaced for another build, or trade / sell to another toy maker.
You made 6 wheels for the driver / left side. Those tires would work for a deuce and a half Army truck, double wheel on a farm tractor and the list goes on.The more I look at it, the more I hate it and the more it bothers me.

I don't know, looks kind of realistic. If anyone asks, just tell them there was a new guy in the maintenance shop.The more I look at it, the more I hate it and the more it bothers me.
