I have a glass cupboard full of John Deere, Allis Chalmers, Ferguson and Ford tractors ....from 1/16 scale down to large matchbox size...oh...and a JD header and a set of JD offsets as well...cuppla thousand bux or more at todays prices. Had nearly all of them when my boys were little....and they were allowed to play with them under strict supervision....both are nearing their forties now.

Have no idea how to post pics ....so sorry about that.

 

Cheers  Keith

Matchbox King Size, the dozer track has decayed with old age ( from around 1960). Have a couple of boxes of standard size, but need to re do photos to post.

Do you have a computer Keith ?, easy to load photo into puter and then post> mobile phone , no idea
