Chuck Most Posted June 22, 2024 Old Canadian workhorse that evidently ended up in Michigan at some point. Then, after being retired from road use, became a floral display. Even though the rest of the Canadian market Mercury trucks went away in 1968, for whatever reason the C Series soldiered on alone until 1972. This is the AMT kit with an MPC Wheel Horse tractor with a scratch built wagon, and a bunch of shrubbery from JTT. Originally the plan was for a stack of old truck parts but I went with flowers instead. Markings were done with Gundam markers. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny M Posted June 22, 2024 Just beautiful! I've always had a thing for those C model Fords (sorry -- scratch that -- Mercurys). Also love the vintage Wheel Horse! My dad bought one of them after I moved away so he wouldn't have to go back to pushing a mower. If I remember correctly that's a big starter motor mounted behind the cylinder and that 45 degree housing contains a belt drive from the starter motor to the engine crankshaft. Early tech at its finest! Johnny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
