1/2 Scale John Deere Model E

[Niceonetidy]

Well here is a short video of my John Deere running for the first time. It needs running in, and the Govenor adjusting down for a slower RPM. Really pleased with it. And its seems very powerfull!

It took around 8 Weeks to make and spray it. It fired and ran ion the Govenors after several pulls. I have two Root & Vanderbuilt Engine sets, and a Fairbanks Morse Model Z to make over the next weeks. I will post them here too!

Hope you enjoy!

WOW. Only 8 weeks? I am now officially depressed. Nearly 11 months and I am still doing my Kiwi.

Jokes apart, that is a fine looking model. Congrats. Was it a casting kit?

Yes, I bought the Kit from Leroy hoover in Pennsylvania, USA. I have two more engine kits from USA and one from Canada to make next.

Thanks,

No,

Sorry, no link, I'm told that Leroy sold the patterns and I had one of the last kits. Hopefully, someone will start selling them again soon,

Thank you everyone for your kind comments,
