AS of late I have been working on printing 3d models. Because of this the Fowler tractor has been put on the back burner so to speak. Just need to create the tractor wheels in Fusion. But here are some pictures and plans.
They where torque monsters. Didn't have a high speed. A whole whopping 20 BHP. This engine, Fowler No 8894, was fitted with 4.5 tons of armour plate; it already weighed 17.5 tons beforehand. Mirrors were fitted to give the driver a view down the left side of the boiler. Top speed 10 MPH. But most of the time the speed was lower.
Towing three armored wagons and a gun?
ReplyDeleteLow-end torque clearly wasn't an issue!
