In the '60s Poland it was almost impossible to acquire a tractor in Poland. Agricultural machines produced by the country were available mainly for state-owned enterprises. For private farmers these tractors were too expensive and they weren't even robust or efficient enough for the mountain region. Out of necessity they constructed their own machines using spare parts and bits and pieces from whatever machines they could find. Including decommissioned army vehicles and pre-WWI German machines.

This is what we call Afro-Engineering in America. Making something out of nothing. Repair a radiator hose with a scarf kin of idea. A woman came up with that, i think. Like my wife using a barbie pin and tape to attach a throttle linkage. Now thats forward think! 

 

This reminds me a childs play, still good to look at, my 2 cents is all im doing here.
