I haven't posted much here on TT lately about my toy projects, just on Case forum. i am to the point where I am finished with scratch builds and modifications, and starting to apply paint. The first pictures are of a custom/scratch built Ertel 1030 converted to MFD and sporting a scratch built cab, and lots of detailed custom accessories. The Landoll disc chisel is scratch built. Case never offered a MFD on these tractors, but Coleman, and Elwood offered dealer installed kits back in the 60's.
The next 3 pics. are of my custom 1962 Case 930 long nose. As far as I know this is a one of a kind made from a Case Ertel 600 body that I modifies using a kit from Dakota Toys that was offered back in the early 80's. NLA now.
The next 4 pics are of a proto-type tractor that Case engineering hand built, but never made it to production. It was a little tractor like the Allis that Kevin Love posted about. This scratch build gave me fits trying to get the size of it correct. There only seams to be one picture of it released and nothing is known about it. I have added my own concepts to this miniture, as I did not like how the engineers designed parts of it. One example was the rear fenders. They were just round flares and had no resemblance to a 70 series tractor. I also added the ROPS and canopy.
Next picture is of the custom 770 that I recently fabricated the loader for it.
This last picture is my first attempt at toy customization. The disc was originally a Tru-Scale pull behind disc. About 1959 I decided that I wanted a hydraulic transport disc for my plastic Case 800, so I cut the Tru-Scale disk apart and brazed together this frame work. It was made from shipping wire used to tie down farm machinery on to railroad cars. If you look close you will see that I used 2 warn generator brushes for the axle bearings. I would have been 11 then. Growing up in a family farm machinery dealership started back in 1932, I had learned to weld with brazing rod and coat hangers, and mechanics wire, plus the Lincoln Tombstone arc welder that I still use in my shop.<

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
