wishes. The

In the 45-second video, Dattatraya Lohar, a blacksmith from Maharashtra's Devrashtre village, can be seen demonstrating how the vehicle works. The vehicle incorporates the kick-start mechanism that is typically seen in two-wheelers. It is a left-hand drive that has been built using old and abandoned car parts.
Local authorities will sooner or later stop him from plying the vehicle since it flouts regulations. I¡¯ll personally offer him a Bolero in exchange. His creation can be displayed at MahindraResearchValley to inspire us, since ¡®resourcefulness¡¯ means doing more with less resources https://t.co/mibZTGjMPp

This guy is from Maharashtra, has developed a four-wheeler from scrap, fabricated steering mechanism which is difficult to learn for undergrad engineers. And the most interesting thing is that the vehicle is left-hand drive. All of this he did in just 60000 rupees investment.????

He shared a clip with the caption: "That¡¯s a superb way to build your kid¡¯s self-confidence. But if any of you out there try it with our toy mahindra tractor PLEASE remember to be as careful as this parent was!!."

In the video, the toy tractor can be seen tied to the excavator with what looks like a makeshift rope. The kid thinks he is pulling the excavator and can be seen enjoying the work he's putting in. The man operating the excavator also plays the perfect sport as he slowly moves his vehicle right behind the child's toy tractor.
