Thanks Bruce! Got lucky and got a good runner from eBay again. Should provide years of trouble free dog harassment, haha!   ;)

Thanks Nick! Nope, no oil on the carpet...yet. Couldn't make it over the hump. Hmmm...needs rubber tires now I reckon.

Dang Ben, $12 bucks for the whole works, eh? Just the crank, screw and spacer cost that much these days. I'll bet you could convert the roller to tractor wheels. Might be best to look for a donor machine on eBay than to buy the tractor front end new. I'd just buy myself a tractor and keep the steamroller as is. They're both pretty cool!

Thanks Jim! Glad that you found the music enjoyable. I wasn't sure about my sound levels, so I'm glad it wasn't offensive. The fuel that I used was Sterno Canned Heat. I was all I could find locally and does the job for now.
