Mazda B1800 "A-traktor"

[Cpt Tuttle]

Started with an AMT Courier kit.
Since the Courier was never sold in Sweden, I removed the Ford specific stuff and pretends it is a Mazda.

The frame is shortened. Bed is made from some scrap wood I found at work and the triangle was cut out from an old driving school book.

Front wheels from Revell race trailer, rear wheels from some unknown source.

Tamiya Volvo 850 seats. Real cloth on the cab floor.

Mesh grille, modfied BMW headlamps and bezels.  Sunroof and steering wheel from kit. Pipes made from an old radio aerial. Taillamps modified Chevy Titan parking lights.

In case you're wondering what this is....
In the 40s Sweden got some rules so farmers could cut up an old car or truck, gear it down and register it as a tractor.

The rules still exists in a somewhat modified form, but the tractors are nowadays mostly used by 16 year olds to legally drive a "car" since you have to be 18 to get a license for a car in Sweden but only 16 for a tractor.
