brett Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 not too sure if if fits in here but ...... it does run supercharged alcohol burning engines and runs in a straight line but I digress, the old AMT tractor/puller nearly box stock (only deviation was the injector hats) Paint is candy yellow faded to candy orange then back to yellow. not the easiest kit to put together as all three engines and the diff need to go in together almost similtaneously Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
booboo60 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Really nice! I bet the engine an tranny set up was wild! Looks great, i like the mud on the tires, "and sure i agree, stright line, super charged! Good as place as any.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveM Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Actually, this would be a fun kit to have reissued. They would have to change the name and graphics to pacify the PC crowd, but some people would buy it just for the tires and engines, and some people would build ti as any number of the old 3 engine pullers from the Eighties. I really want to see this one and the Orange blossom special come back some day. They wouldn't be top sellers, but they would be good for "One run of fun" (Just like the prototypes!)

brett Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 thanks guys this one came very close to the 1st model smashed, there's a reason I havent seen a lot of these built over the years and now I know why. the diff and all 3 engines have to go in almost simultaneously not the easiest task with only 2 hands, add to that hopeless instructions............... Would I build another? funnily enough yes but it wouldn't be the same as this (I have an Alison sitting in a box around here somewhere)......
