Rough Russian Iron!

Perhaps you will find interesting what russian hobby tractorbuilders have welded and bolted together. You will find a photo compilation in my blog. Unfortunately it is in Finnish, but the pictures are worth thousand words.

Fascinating! WOW!! I'd like to see some of them in real life! Kind of reminds me of the things that enterprising farmers made during our Depression Time.

My Finnish is a lot rustier than I thought..I was able to pick out a few words here and there. "Wodka" makes the mind do strang things..I saw what looked like something I built years ago...I took an M-37 truck and added 24" farm tractor rubber to a set of fabricated rims for skidding logs out of the woods...1 Tough tractor it was......

Dosent look like the gained much ground over the last 60 plus years.
