Hi there,

attached is the Lego Technic 8848 - Power Truck of 1981.

Done with MLcad.

Wheels are rubber-black
According to MPDcenter 2.5.0.0 is the file correct.

Have fun 
Allard

Hi Allard,
The beam closing bottom back of the cabin is missing (as far as I can tell!):
Also, rear wheel assembly should be rotated so that the helicopter properly sits on an horizontal plane.

Hi,

There are two partsd missing in the 8859 file..
But easily added!

Fantastic sets, it is great to have these in digital form. As it happens I built the 8859 in the brick last week and decided to look it up online. Keep up the good work.

(2021-02-09, 18:14)Linda Wrote: [ -> ]Based loosely on the "MB Trac" commercial tractors of the era (without any licensing connecting this model to a specific manufacturer), this set was sold in Canada and the United States under the name "Harvester" and under the name "Tractor" in the rest of the world.

Later copies of this set (sold beginning in 1982 or 1983) replaced some parts with newer mould versions and redesigned a weak joint in the driveshaft. These changes resulted in the part inventory being reduced by 2 parts.

The set's building instructions include detailed instructions for the main tractor body along with two alternative instructions for a plow or a harrow as the rear attachment (there are only sufficient parts included to build one of these attachments at a time). Additionally, the instructions include:
* Detailed instructions for an off-road racing vehicle B-Model
* Pictorial instructions for motorizing the tractor using either the European set 870-1 or the North American set 960-1
* Detailed instructions for building three additional rear attachment options using parts from set 8710-1
* Pictorial instructions for building two additional B-Models - a Dune Buggy or a Beach Bicycle

I am definitely on board with a little background commentary on some of these models. Thanks!

Hello Philippe,

Just walking through the list of models and accidentally the model 8844 is submitted with title set number 8444. Probably a typo I expect.

Regards Allard

Sorry, not sure to understand what you mean?

Random, off-topic remark, but has there ever been a site that catalogs all of the Technic B-models in one place? (Technicopedia started to, but didn't get past the first year or two.)
