This mini-tractor, Y. V. BALABIN, Amateur designer from Moscow city Lotoshino, built from what was found in a garage at home, with friends, in a scrap yard. However, “Scarce” (as he called his mini-tractor) is in the extensive garage of craftsman privileged position. Despite the fact that next to him are still jeep “Hugo” mini-mobile “Colibri”, the mechanical horse and maintenance — first and foremost, and repair in the shortest possible time. But how else? “Baby” is in fact the breadwinner of the family of its Creator! Without him and the garden for planting potatoes treated, and the crop will not be harvested.
MECHANICAL HORSE “SCARCE”
The construction of any improvised apparatus – be it a car, a snowmobile or even a plane always starts with a dream. Dreams of a person capable and motivated. Despite popular opinion that handmade are built from lack of money, the real motive is creative grain and desire of expression. In addition, active people are annoyed by the fact that in our country carelessly throw away and destroy still usable machines and equipment. Why not give them a second life?
The human neck is very perfect mechanism that performs many vital functions. However, it is very compact, flexible and surprisingly agile. All this allows to consider it one of the most wonderful inventions of Nature.

The musculoskeletal system of the neck, for example, does not tolerate sharp linear motion and rotational motion of the skull that occurs when different kinds of shocks and blows, especially in the chin or neck. Such effects usually lead to a concussion or intracranial injury.
Mini-tractor must admit, I’ve built without any drawings (except the sketches of parts that he had ordered Turner), so to speak, to the eye, intuitive, having all components and assemblies as compact as possible and easier for the tractor. Then, the accumulation of operating experience, many times altered it. But more on that below. Built because I needed a mechanical servant, able to perform almost all the agricultural work on the plot. Such “abilities”, in my opinion, has tractor T-25 vladimirets. He was the inspiration when building my mini. Hence the nickname — “little brother.”
The owner of a light moped (or, according to modern classification — mo-led, i.e. motorbike), equipped with engine D-8, eventually notices that his two-wheeled machine is easy enough starts, sometimes not pulling uphill or bad overcomes the roads.

For the last four years on the initiative of the heads of model aircraft clubs in the town of Zheleznodorozhny in the Moscow region competitions school students in the new class of resinator indoors. If you compare these models with others, participating in competitions, for example, a glider and a helicopter “Fly”, the proposed resonatory more complex. Therefore, it can be recommended for the manufacture of the guys visiting the club for the second year.
The presented design can be used in homemade vehicles (e.g., cars or velomobiles) as a torsion suspension of the wheels. The basis of her supposed domestic the invention.with. No. 184564, кл47а, 17 “torsion Spring”.
While still a student of the 3rd class of high school (20 years ago) persuaded the parents to issue an annual subscription to “modelist-Konstruktor”. Since then, and are a regular reader, cherish all the sent mail rooms favorite edition. The desire to build their own mini-tractor (MT) caught fire when in No. 12 of the journal in 1978 read the article about “Lukovichki”.
