My in-laws found this plastic Ertl John Deere tractor at a yard sale. I "re-purposed" it with some Persian Orange and authentic decals. Will be a birthday present for my son when he turns 1 year old. Pretty happy with how it came out!   ------------- 1947 C, 1949 B, 195? CA 60 series cultivator fertilizer side dresser 2 bottom snap coupler plow 1 bottom plow, Cole planter |

One GREAT JOB!!! My favorite looks just great. Funny, when you think of it there are hardly any models or other things made of the B. Good Luck! Bill Long |

Looks nice! Says "C" but has a wide front, but kinda looks like a CA, since it doesn't have a bench seat. Lol

| lol...it looks great! and it really don't even look like a green tractor either! prolly another city bots design that has never been around a tractor but may have seen one in a picture ad of a newspaper! when I worked at an AC dealer, I placed an ad in the local newspaper, was a big ad and cost a lot of money! when it came out, it was a pic of a green tractor with the AC info! I went in there and raised all kinds of H*LL with the publisher! he says to me...there's nothing wrong with that ad, it's a picture of a tractor! I said a different brand of tractor! he says, they are all the same and no one would notice! then I yelled at him that the farmers would notice and that's who we try to sell to, then said..."are you STUPID?" I pulled the advertising outta there and went elsewhere! and stopped the payment on the check! PffffT! |

That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time!!! But I believe it!! Those city folks that don't know a tractor from a combine are terrible, but the ones that think "a tractor's a tractor" are even worse! A side note...all in favor of seeing a pic of Shameless "working" (??) at the A-C dealership years ago, say "I"! I!

I think you did better than me. I traded 2-22 rifles for an 8070 pedal tractor last summer. But they were common rifles and the tractor was in nice shape Shameless. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall. That is really funny. City folk. |
