Ride On Backhoe

QUESTION:

Some time ago, I saw plans for a frontend loader / backhoe ride-on toy. It had a simple but working scoop and was built for a child of about 5 years of age to sit on. I remember it as being quite a good plan. I also seem to recall that it was in a book and not on the net... and I can't remember where I saw it. Damn!

Does anyone know of a book or a web site where I can get good plans for his toy. I have found only ONE on the net so far (and I've been searching solidly for about 2-3 days), and it's pretty ordinary. I have found none in the few books at the 4 libraries within my reach
(Melbourne).

ANSWER:

I did see something like this as well in a plan catalogue that was in Hardwarehouse or Bunnings. I can't remember the name either but at least it might give you a starting point. I think they also advertise in Australian Woodworking but can't find an example at the moment either.

By the way, G'day is only pronounced as Gid-diy by Greek greengrocers named Con For our overseas readers, I apologise but this is a joke that would take too long to explain, and you wouldn't laugh anyway because you had to be there

In the Queensland bush, where I was born, it's more commonly pronounced as Gurrrrrr-day or Gday (as in one syllable)
