Quick answer - 8862 Backhoe. Accidentally came across one. The following all happened in the space of a year. It all started by coming across an old dusty box that contained 90% of the parts to make 8862 Backhoe. The set was not mine so I first had to google to see what set it actually was. Next I searched for instructions online and was amazed they were so easy to get. I bought all the missing parts from Ebay (cost a fortune) and finished the backhoe. I then decided to find my old Lego box that was hidden for about 15 years and remake all my old sets. I then found Bricklink which helped a lot. I remade 8448, 8868, 8459 and 8445. My favorite is 8868. In my opinion the best set released. (hopefully Porsche will overtake it) I then remade and bought missing parts for my brothers old sets. 8275, 8275, 8284, 8416, 8455. I was addicted so I then started buying sets on Ebay with missing parts and finishing them. 8880, 8479, 8457, another 8868, 8865, 8432, 8456. Next I bought some new sets. Volvo loader, Mini cooper, VW camper, Eto-1 and the USC Tumbler. Now I just need to buy the Actros, the Porsche and some old sets like the Williams and silver champion F1 sets. I just uploaded my first MOC yesterday and I may start another smaller (and cheaper) one soon. Its been fun

Here is my first post and first ever MOC. Has taken 9 months to finally finish the model and upload it here.

The tractor has a "Meripeateq" implement on the back. Here is a video of the real thing. Thanks eurobricks members for the motivation to do this. Dark ages lasted 15 years and I was amazed to find this site about a year ago.
