Thought this was pretty awesome! :thumbsup:  They even saved the light from the machine! 

But I'm not sure it will actually move on its own - maybe it's spring powered,  like a windup toy?

Well, thats.....different :specool:  Used a bracket as a seat and another component as a steering wheel  .  Very creative !!  If it was mine, I'd make it move a  using  an RC model remote perhaps? 

It does remind me of our old " tractor' garden sprinkler  , it moved powered by the water.

Oooh!! INSTRUCTIONS!!  https://www.instructables.com/How-to-Make-a-Sewing-Machine-Tractor/

Still trying to find out if these things actually run under their own 'steam'!  According to its maker, this one doesn't. The electric motor is only there for show, and he removed most of the insides of it to reduce the tractor's weight:

The completed tractor can be played with as a backyard or sandbox toy, or stuck up on a shelf for display.

I'm not sure exactly what we're going to do with it yet.

Maybe I'll sell it and buy more old broken sewing machines. You can never have too many!

Actually, as someone who has often visited the annual Georgian Bay steam show in Cookstown, Ontario, I realize steam WOULD be an option! One of my cousins had a miniature steam engine that actually worked when I was a kid!  https://www.steamshow.ca/

 

Some of you will relate to that last line! :rofl:
