something a little different - John deere 12 V conveted pedel tractor
« on: March 10, 2019, 06:13:39 am »
I built this a year ago for my grandchildren. it started life as a John Deere 7020 pedal tractor, much conversion has been done to it to now make it a 12v driver, has a foot operated button (dead mans switch) with LED digital battery life indicator , working front & rear headlights & Reversing toggle switch. it steers like a battle ship & takes nearly as much room to turn it around...but the grandkids love it, & as Nolan has stated (you got a new horn on it) which is loud..& was made with the forethought of an easily removable fuse  ;)

Very cool. What's the round white thing beneath the dash?

Great toy build Bruce - I'm not at all surprised it's a big hit with the grandchildren. I'm sure they'll keep (hopefully) and remember it for the rest of their lives.

there is a headlight switch, for/rev toggle switch & LED voltage indicator on the dash control panel.

Love the video Bruce, and if that motor ever dies, I'll have to come visit and pull them around with the Case  ;)
