Perhaps jaxs will agree with me that, actually, the very worst that can happen is not even trying.Don't let naysayers discourage you from pursuing your passion. Life is a journey, with problems to solve, lessons to learn, but most of all, experiences to enjoy. The very worst that can happen is not turning out exactly as planned but guaranteed you will learn alot that will be useful on future projects.
I have to acknowledge my first tractor here. I was about 10 years old and my father bought me a tractor -- actually a riding mower with a 4 hp vertical shaft engine, a F-N-R transmission, a loose belt deadman clutch using an idler pulley controlled with a pedal, a chain drive to a rigid rear axle, and a belly blade. He took the blade off and put a pulley on the motor shaft, and mounted a car generator off to one side so I could have lights (at this time most cars had generators with brushes instead of alternators).
I loved that thing and rode around on it so much I wore the front wheels out (they were the hard rubber kind, not pneumatic).
If I had the room and the time, I'd probably have more like it today.
