Our local antique club has a renewed interest from young men,ages 15-30.they are very willing to help,but need some guidance,they are craving something to do with thier tractors during our show,more or less to make noise and put a load on them,simply more than just driving them around and our tractor pull.while going to wauseon show the baker fans seem to get used all day every day,with people watching to.so I've decided to take on the project of doing a build of 1 with the young guys.while thinking about the build I have a few different ideas I'd like to run past you.1st-i highly doubt a steam engine will ever be at our show,hasn't been since the 80s..2nd-im thinking having a pto drive somehow would greatly benefit our club,most all on display have the pto,quite a few dont have a belt pulley..3rd-after watching youtube vids a few hrs it looks like the smaller model tractors struggle and the larger models dont have enough load.. What I have to work with,access to 2 good machine shops,3 certified welders,a very good junk/recycling yard with an endless supply of metal willing to help us,12-15 young men wanting this to happen..my questions....I'm thinking I could use a heavy wall box tube for the fan arms and slot if to slide blades in to increase/decrease the load,possibly use 8 fan blades instead of 4 to keep the diameter smaller,then a pto could be used easily..adding a tach to appease thier curiosity..possibly a trailer mounted one..what pulley diameter would be best for tractors,again no steam engines...I'm wanting to improve the design to make it fit the younger guy,instead of expecting them to acquire belt pulleys..oh,I dont have a belt either,no big deal in getting one I wouldnt think..my goal is to keep the youth interested

Today's Featured Article - A Question for Dads This recent topic from the Tractor Talk discussion board is being highlighted because it is an awesome display of the caliber of individuals that have made this site their own. The young person asking questions received positive feedback and advice from total strangers who "told it like it is" with the care many reserve for their own kids. The advice is timeless... so although it isn't necessarily antique tractor related, it will be prominently displayed in our archives to honor those who have the courage to ask and those who have the courage to respond in an honest, positive manner.
