It needs no petrol or Diesel, it runs on wood.
Cheap and eco-friendly

Great pictures, Grani!!
Is the yellow "tractor" with the crane behind yours?
I believe I saw it on one of yours pictures too.

Thanks for the pictures, Grani. I'm interested in the yellow one, too.
We would call that a "doodlebug" over here. Can you tell us more about it?

Yes it´s mine. It has been a Ford 1938 lorry that has been modified to a farmtractor in the fifties. The engine is rebuildt by Ford 1952. It is a flathead V8 with 85hp. I bought it in the mid 80:s and did some modifications for my own needs, as the front blade and the crane and the hydraulics and powersteering. I have used it for snowplowing until i got my Roadless. It was roadregistered until last year, not as a tractor but as a "motor implement" if I translate it directly from swedish. I don´t know a corresponding word for it in english.
Here is a link to pictures of it that someone has put on internet.

Hi Grani, you take a lot of pictures like our friend Henk. I like that. I like to look at the country side as well as the people, and think how out of place I would be if I were there.
Can you tell me more about the car that ran on "wood," does it heat water for steam?
I had a Ford V8 Flat head in a 1951 Ford Coupe, it was a great motor. Just curious, thanks again for all the great photos.
Also, what is the green thing hooked up to a battery? What does it do?

It is not a steam engine.

The green thing is a portable starter for old stationary engines like this.
