We got it from Wally Fisk when we aquired the N3N, F-86, Hunter, C-123 and about 100,000lbs of other plane parts and engines. Along with all of this came an Allison V-1710 powered pulling tractor. It was aquired for the engine, then we found out how much fun it was to ride on!
The V-3420 is a pretty complete engine and I don't think it would be too hard to get it running.
I would love to see it on a pulling tractor. As much fun as the V-12 version is to drive, the V-24 must be a blast. We also have five Avon jet engines. We've considered making a jet tractor out of one of them.
