Tractor trailer rig teaches grandchildren how to drive FARM HOME Toys/Games 17-1-32 I built this tractor-trailer rig to teach my grandchildren how to drive. I used parts from three different garden tractors to make the tractor which is powered by a 7-hp. Kohler engine and fitted with a 5-speed friction drive transmission, which means they have to learn how to clutch. It's geared down so top speed is just 6 to 7 mph. The sides are made out of wood and I fashioned the hood out of fiberglass. Both the trailer and tractor are painted bright red. The trailer has a 5th wheel hitch so they can learn how to handle it, backing up and so on. My grandchildren, ranging from age 3 to age 11, love to drive it. !set up a course with orange traffic cones for them to practice on. It's fun and they learn a valuable skill.
