Small John Deere Garden Tractor we brought with us. Want to and need to buy a farm tractor and some attachements. Hope to build a Corvair Custom Hydraulic Tractor with a gas heater to move boats around and use in winter.
Hello Everyone,

I'm new to this Forum. I found it while doing some searches for my latest project. I could use some help as I know my limitations!!

A little back ground on me first. I'm 50 years young and a retired mechanic with lots of time on my hands.
I collect Corvairs and most anything Corvair; i.e car, truck, wagon, RV and even a Corvair boat; all of which I already own. However, I have NO interest in a Corvair Plane. :D
I like to keep my feet on the ground for now. My head is already in the clouds anyways, with all my ideas - :laughing:

This is where I can use your help:
I have never work with or built anything using hydraulics. Unless you count the time I was a mechanic, working on tanks, in the US Army.

My plan is to build a Corvair Tractor to use around our new farm. (why not everything else we have is Corvair - LOL)

I hope to start using it by next summer at the latest.

Where would I start a thread to help with design, tech questions and to make a products list?

Then where would I post a build page - for all to see while I am building this Corvair hydraulic tractor - that others on here helped me with?


Thanks for your help and support ahead of time.

Sincerely, Tony

Hello and welcome to TBN

As for where to start and ask for help.....maybe try the Customization sub-forum? Just a guess here, but that is where a lot of creations are shown.

It is here:

Customization - TractorByNet.com

Then, for the "show my progress / creation" you could maybe start a new post in Customiazation after you get a few replies on the other post above...


or possibly make a post in the "Build It Yourself" sub-forum:

Build-It Yourself - TractorByNet.com

There seems to be more...."look at my progress" posts in the Build it yourself area.

Big thing is, do not worry about making a mistake and putting in the wrong forum as most folk here are friendly and will offer friendly advice.

Then, if you fell like getting the post moved, you can use the "report post" triangle and ask a mod to move it where ever you think it should go.

but like I said....this is just a guess and my 2 cents
