Tractor, Hay Cart and Hay Rake
Built by Brian Elvidge in January 2022
These models appear in the 1954 and 1957 series of Meccano manuals using set № 6.
Tractor
This model is powered by a № 1 Clockwork motor driving the rear axle. It also has a steering mechanism as shown. The rear wheels have been replaced by 2” pulleys and tyres, instead of 3” pulleys. The model runs well, and can easily pull either trailer.
Hay Cart
This is of simple construction of a two-wheeled farm trailer, and it complements the tractor well.
Hay Rake
This is a simple model of a hay rake, with two wheels. The tines can be raised and lowered by the lever on the carriage. The carriage is slightly modified from the manuals.
