What a fantastic set of projects for your boys Nick.
I really like the Skid Steer.
Next bit of farm equipment on my list for 2022.
Finding a good used one is impossible right now and buying a new one is a 6-9 month wait.

I like to lock the nut in them.

I got some of these with some stuff from a garage sale, very handy for small spaces:
Hadn’t thought of that… I’ve got those in my tackle box for taking hooks out of sunfish, they are more user friendly if you grind the locks off.
The open end wrench that came with the set has an extra little tab added to it to help hold the nut.

We didn’t make it very far… 😂

Luckily his skid loader has medium sized pieces and may be a little easier for him because I think he wants me to finish the tractor 😂

I knew the tractor would be too difficult for him, but he loves blue tractors and it was a cheap extra Christmas present, so when he’s ready to build again we’ll probably work on the skid loader. I will probably finish this one off on some boring winter nights as it’s even difficult for me to build with the tiny pieces…

Excited to start :)

Parts so small a magnifying glass was included 😂

Got the kids 3 different sets. This one has the smallest pieces and I will start threads for the other 2 builds… I am letting the kids (age 4 & 7) build them, so they may take many months to complete 😂

When they said “Micro Series” they weren’t kidding!! 😂
