F-14 He converted the hog house into a workshop with milling machines and metal lathes along with other tools. They are built 100% from scratch. He moves a real tractor of whatever he is building into the shop and takes measurements directly from the tractor. One limited editon John Deere he build (I forget the model right now) actually "ran", which means it made a "put- put" noise, the fan and fly wheel turned. Also the lights worked. It was in 1/12 scale. Every part is created to scale in aluminum and then molds are made of each part in which casting are made of each piece. These tractors can run into over 100 pieces. He's appeared on the cover of "Toy Farmer" magazine a number of times along with articles about his work. Two years ago he was inducted into the "Toy Tractor Hall of Fame" at the "National Toy Tractor Museum" in Dyersville, Iowa in recognition of his extremely detailed and accurate models. He's now working in association with the Antique Caterpillar Collectors Association building scale model Caterpillars for them. So far he has build a "D-4" a "T - 30" and a "T - 60" (I think that's right, I'm not that up on my Cats)
