Hi all

 

Not quite the tractors you thought. Just proves we are tractor mad around these parts. This is a collection of 100 tractors plus a booklet with each one telling the history.

you are not alone in collecting model tractors Paul , i also have quite a collection of  universal hobbies tractors &  models of construction equipment

[paul 64]

Yes I have a few but have been told no more as I also have three farmalls from franklin mint, and a john deere penknife collection from them also

[neil 524]

I have allways wanted one of those Farmall tractors from franklin mint 1/12 scale i think they are ? lots of detail

[paul 64]

will put a pic of one up later

Heres a farmall from franklin mint in its display case which has a mirrored bottom so you can see underneath. Your right they have fantastic detail, steering works so does throttle , pulley and the seat springs

I think the Frankin mint tractors although can be expensive but are well worth the money , do they only do the row crop Farmall type paul ?

 

Here are a few pics of my collection , i really need to get them put in a sealed display case as they are collecting quite a lot of dust at the moment .

I  started to collect the orange Fiat Hitachi construction equipment because i used to work for the company that were the sole importer of Fiat construction equipment and they used to get me a model every time i done some work for them .

Evening.

 If I remember right franklin mint also did the farmall cub, a allis chalmers row crop and a ford , I cant remember which model but it had a red chassis and I think creamy panels. I have only seen john deere penknives though
