A Volvo of a different kind

Look what I got for free from a fellow modeller!
A Volvo T31 from 1949 with kerosene/petrol engine.
It stod outside with no cover over it and hadn't been started for about 1½ years but that posed no problems.

Nj, nj, nj....WROOOOM! spooky how old iron just keeps working.
Here's a movie clip when it got loaded with the old owner at the wheel and my father and cousin pushing on the snowblade. A bit slippery but it finally worked out.


The steering is out of order due to some splines being stripped clean at a joint.
So we had to us an iron bar to pull the wheels by hand.
To the right you can see the steering, my father
Was a bit fiddly and hard work to get the tractor around the house and lined up with the trailer.


This is where it lives now, our summer house. A lot of forrest to pull lumber out of and a piece of gravel road to take care of.
