Designed and build started by my Father, Al
Bollman, in the mid to late 80s - Designed to be Crosley
powered in the rear section and all hydraulic driven. I have
outsourced its completion to Scott Yingst and will update as
the project moves forward. Any ideas on the project?

Even though my Father left drawings and frame/cab assembly done, as Scott tries to make it real he is finding things that just don't fit or work as originally thought.

 This engine ended up having a broken crank |
 Engine #2 getting prettied up, this
one runs. It is a CoBra conversion but should have an
easy life running at relatively low RPMs &
constant speed.

 Cab test fit, way to low, decided to
remove the top of the cab. Tractor would have been
over 7 foot tall, for a normal person to fit. My Dad
was originally going to use this to plow snow, mow
grass and other things. Now it will be just a toy so
an enclosed cab isn't really needed. Note nose needed
to be raised to give more knee space.
