A Bored Farmer, A Barn Full of Stuff, and A Welder...

I don't know if a farmer actually did this, or someone just built a vehicle with a distinctly rural theme, but it's innovative and amusing either way.

When you live on a farm you learn to
"make do" with whatever you find in the barn!!

This is the exact and perfect example of why
we save everything.
This car has been built with all of the junk
laying out back in the pile, and under the work
bench, and stuffed in the rafters.
All this guy needed was a little time on his hands.

Spotted in Cannon Falls , MN on 5/23/12 Its a car? or a truck?

Milk can fuel tank; radiator from a Minneapolis-Moline tractor. The GM Small Block V-8 is probably the most modern thing on the... er... car... or whatever it is!!!

 
Check out the gearing wheel....What do you see?
Dash is a crosscut saw blade with handles attached - tractor hand brake - tachometer - 2 mirrors mounted on horse shoes and big truck turn signal switch mounted on left - single wiper motor



How many men who grew up on a farm are now thinking, "Why didn't we do that? " (Because most farmers are too busy to put the time into something like this--Smitty)







 Milking machine tank on top of aircleaner, and a washtub fan shroud.



 What looks like a hopper to a seed drill protects the headlight, while a "knuckle-buster" wrench forms the bracket for the headlight adjuster.



 Rear seating straight from the "two-holer" with protective covers. Seat backs from the legs of a New Home treadle sewing machine, with a singletree for a headrest.

 The rear lamp frame built with saw blades and a chicken feeder box - manure spreader drive is still intact - horse shoe door hinges, with vintage wood doors.


 
Tractor seats with hayfork backs - seat belts - tractor tool box behind driver seat - gear shift beside hand brake - stereo & CD player on dash blade - the drive chains are still on the floor board. He did put in seat belts so he must be street legal... I hope...
