Rudy's Model Steam Tractor

				
																
Author

								
By Rudy Kouhoupt

																
								
Description

									
Rudy's Model Steam Tractor will reprint, for what we believe to be the first time, Rudy's Case-style traction engine project that was originally published in Popular Mechanics magazine. The drawings in this book were hand drawn by Rudy himself, and have been only gently enhanced using a modern CAD program, allowing them to retain their original craftsman's touch. 
Spiralbound. 80 pages.
