Paystar 5000 tractor by ERTL.

Earlier I built a lowboy by Double Take replicas. So now I need a heavy duty tractor. So this Paystar will do fine.

One of my favorite kits, will be watching Pat.

Did something similar with the Paystar mixer kit.

Just be careful, those things were notorious for overheating!!!

That will make a superb looking Heavy Haul Tractor.

Can't wait to see what you do with it.

Not sure what the original problem was, I think the cooling system was inadequate.

This one won't be working too hard on the shelf, the V800 should catch it.
