So, I have changed direction on this one again. My daughter wasn’t set on an M983 tractor, and I already have one (earlier built M983A2), I really like how the A4 was looking, and I was going to build an M978 eventually (possibly as an A4) so it will now be an M978A4 Fueler, like this:
I started by cutting all the tractor parts off and cutting the frame just in front of the first rear wheel mount. I then added 30mm to stretch the frame to its full length. Another frame cross member added and a lengthened drive shaft and it is getting there.
Here it is so far with the fuel tank behind it.
