Hi
Now I like that!! I nearly got my hands on a small Ransommes crawler last year!
This will worry you all! I haven't told my parents so keep it quiet!! 
I was talking to a guy with simmilar interests to me over the weekend, he likes steam stuff and believes it is the way forward, I knew I wasn't alone!! We got talking about converting a diesel truck to a steam wagon, like a sentinel wagon etc. Recon for about £4000 it could be done! I rekon I need to start reseaching, then that will be a future project!
He he
Cheers

What about the front/rear weight distribution?
Looks as if it would fall on its nose unless the driver is a heavyweight!

Hi
Quite a few crawlers are like that, not quite sure why! Perhaps the answer is to have a wacking big plough or subsoiler on the back to pull the back into the ground!
Cheers

Hi
Hmmm, Are you tring to get me kicked out of home!! I wouldn't mind a trailer, but not really for a mini! My mini has a centre exit exhaust, so couldn't have a tow bar anyway!
Don't think I can have it! I get in enough trouble on my own, now everyone else is looking for things for me to buy, sorry invest in!! hehe 
Cheers

well it has been done to a very good standard me thinks!!
I should have made one, had a couple of opportunities when I dismantled my ex clubman estate and another mini(mk4) for parts.
Should have kept the rear end!!!  |

Hi
Yeah I agree it is a good conversion, and it certainly looks tidy! I like the way that everything folds up!
Cheers
