Have you got a petrol engine for it? I have a Suffolk Punch in
the workshop which you'd be welcome to.

Thats a very kind offer thanks, but I have a Loncin (chinese
type Honda equivalent) ready to fit.

Engine cradle completed and wheels fitted with sprockets. The
cradle is a very clever set of laser cut parts. The petrol
engine sits on the top of the cradle and drives the dynamo which
sits underneath. The white pulley acts as a clutch to control
pressure on the drive belt.
The sprockets are mounted onto the axles using taperlocks -
fiendishly simple, and yet something I had never come across
before. The engineers on this forum will probably be aware of
such systems.

Very nice, Strang!
That little engine looks like it's got chunky enough bits to go
and do proper work, well done :D

Cheers Tom - they are surprisingly powerful (depending upon
gearing set ups with the chain sprockets) but can pull quite
heavy weights up steepish gradients. Have a look at the Scamp
Facebook page.

Finally on wheels! Lots more to do - like fitting chains, motors
and brakes, but at least I can push it!

Love it! I want one now... ;D
I cam across a smallholding channel on Youtube that are building
some rail tracks for moving stuff around the farm - this would
be ideal!
