Somewhere back in my youth, i had a 1927 Chevy ho-made tractor, with the 4 cylinder engine in it, (current at that time) and a 1 ton truck rear end, and the Chevy tranny!
Some guy wanted it, so i sold it.
Then i bought a ho-made Model A Ford tractor. It had the Ford 4 cyl. engine, a 5-speed truck trans., then a 4 speed behind that, and a Model T, worm drive differential. (Rear end) I made a snow plow for it, which worked good!
I had several ho-made Model T tractors, one of which had been narrowed in to fit between the garden rows.
Most of the ho-made stuff did what it was supposed to do--work! They were rather crude, but, just remember, those tinkerers didn't have the tools and equipment we have today! And some of the products today use ideas thought up back when! Refined, of course!
