ebinmaine 67,455 #1 Posted April 19, 2023 For at least 2 or 3 years we've been thinking about printing and laminating information sheets for the tractors we bring to shows. What do you folks put on those? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,570 #2 Posted April 19, 2023 I cut signs out of wood in the shape of the front of the tractor. Then burned my info on to them. They have a small post on them so that you can stick them in the ground in front of the tractor. Trina should be able to whip a few of these out for you in no time. 6 9 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 55,198 #8 Posted April 19, 2023 I just print out the information on a sheet of paper and slide it into a sheet protector. The three holes are handy for fastening it to the tractor and the opening faces down to protect the paper from getting wet. 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They're nice and get the information you want to convey across. but somewhat plastically if that's a word. Dan made one like his for Cindy for xmas. Many of the shows we exibit at they hand out blank ones and you just fill in the info. They often have busines names of show sponsers on them. Nothing wrong with that either.

Owls Head is a non profit that does hand out their own info sheets but we'd like to have our own preprinted. We've gotten MANY MANY inquiries on the tractors... Particularly Millie. Then when the folks find out the BBT did the work... Well.... More curiosity for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If that's the case then just what Richard or I does should suffice. Just make sure to mention that they are SUPPOSED to be RED...

After you get done detailing it, a nice custom sign from @Achto would be fine... Now about your battery charging techniques... were they fresh curds? Wasn't a light beer was it? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 8,690 #16 Posted April 20, 2023 The folks from The Badge Factory used to come to the big show, very nice people. That’s where I got mine from because I don’t have the talent that @Achto has! 👍🏻 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sjoemie himself 3,068 #17 Posted April 20, 2023 This is what I used on my first show so far. Two laminated A3 sheets with some info on the build and a QR-code people can scan with their phone which leads to my Instagram profile (where I post progress of my build). 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #20 Posted April 21, 2023 I make these for all of our tractors and engines, the ones for the tractors have strong magnets attached to the back of them that we can just stick somewhere on the machine, the Maytags all have their own plate that is permanently attached to the skid that the engine is mounted to. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 9,981 #21 Posted April 21, 2023 (edited) I have these. Printed and laminated by son-in-law. They're mounted on a hard board backing. The stands I made myself. They can be stuck in the ground or a heavy base. Edited April 21, 2023 by Stormin 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjoemie himself 3,068 #25 Posted April 23, 2023 Looking good Eric and Trina Another thing you might want to consider, don't put too much info on it. It's waaayyy more fun talking with likeminded people how, what and why you've done with your machine than it is to read everything of an A4 sheet 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
