{"product_id":"industrial-folk-art-spark-plug-tractor-sculpture","title":"Industrial Folk Art Spark Plug Tractor Sculpture","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhimsical industrial folk art sculpture assembled from salvaged mechanical components, cleverly configured in the form of a small tractor. The body is constructed around two large tapered roller bearings serving as wheels, with additional hardware elements forming the axle housing, steering column, and front assembly. A porcelain spark plug rises vertically from the center, functioning as both engine detail and visual focal point, while bent wire and machined fittings complete the mechanical silhouette.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe piece exemplifies mid-century industrial folk art traditions, where discarded shop parts were repurposed into figurative forms by machinists, mechanics, or hobbyists. The use of authentic bearings, threaded fittings, and steel components gives the sculpture both weight and credibility, blurring the line between functional object and imaginative assemblage. Its proportions and detailing suggest it was made for display rather than utility, celebrating the materials and forms of heavy industry through humor and craftsmanship.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nShows surface wear throughout including oxidation, patina, and tool marks consistent with age and reclaimed materials. Structurally solid and stable, with no loose components observed. Displays strongly from all angles.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n5\" W x 7\" D x 5\" H\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nMM - 18696 - 011426\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information regarding shipping, please visit our Terms \u0026amp; Conditions page \u003ca class=\"GeneratedLink\" href=\"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/pages\/shipping\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Industrial Artifacts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42711145938987,"sku":"18696","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0194\/8170\/files\/771951b5-7dac-591d-a90c-17fe4f92c0ab.jpg?v=1768863236","url":"https:\/\/industrialartifacts.net\/products\/industrial-folk-art-spark-plug-tractor-sculpture","provider":"Industrial Artifacts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
