The following is a basic dat of the tractor/slasher model [not posted to
.cad.whatever, as it is incomplete] I had to substitute a 2x4 plate for the
2x4 plate with pins, and a blue set of handlebars for the steering wheel.
Also, I didn't put the wheels on as I was in a hurry, and also didn't
include the 'arms' to hold the slasher, as I couldn't find the part.
