I couldn’t get a Caterpillar sticker, or even a Karcher, or de Walt sticker to go on this some have left it plain.
I’ll send you dimensions if you want but basically it’s pretty simple to guess your size. I’ve found some stuff on the web and will include those as a guide. The littlies love them I’ve made two a pink no photos and this for a friends little chap.
you’ll notice I’ve “grunted” it up with twin exhausts and a V8 underneath 😂
the body is made with scrap pine glued with selleys exterior PVA glue and nailed. You could screw. The handle is 16mm dowel I had from another job and the bottom is 7mm ply
the wheels I cut out off pine drawing a circle with a compass and cutting with my Ryobi jigsaw . They’re screwed into the two axles underneath (again scrap pine approx 25x25mm and sanded round so that each is pretty close to the others. Actually a bit of a wobble may make it more fun. I drilled a 4mm hole through the centre mark of the compass to allow the wheel to spin on the screw and used stainless steel screws 65mm .
send me a message if you need anything painted with rustoleum spray cans from my favorite place
