I never knew this club was out here. I have been
collecting and custmizing farm toys for years, mostly the
good ones,IH. That will ruffle some feather for a
first timers posting! But anyway glad the know of the
site, and look forward to keeping an eye on it. Jason

I'm glad to find a club with my same interests.  I've been collecting 1/64 for a
few years now and a couple years ago started customizing.  I'm not picky on
make, I like em all.  Let's have some fun.

I want to find out if anyone knows were I can get
some information on a particular tractor. I have an
IH, I believe it's a 966, that was given to me in
74/75. It has a straight front axle, steel stack, and
did have a hook on the rear. I'd appreciate any
feedback.

Ertl never made a 966 with a metal stack.
Although they did have a metal stack on the 06, 56and I
think the 26 series.Somevations are does it have a cab,
what color? Solid mounted front axle, doesn't pivot?
Duals? The matal stack was actually the air precleaner,
they all had a rubber muffler. Having trouble with
computer on my spelling but this give you an idea. Let me
know and I'll try to help you. J5703@...

I have added some more links to the links area for more online farm toy dealers.

I think the model you are talking about is the
1/64 1466. Solid axel, White cab, metal stack. hook
hitch like the Deere "Sound Gaurd" and 1/64 Massey of
the time. If have the IH and Deere. Our local IH
dealer gave mine to me in 1981. It was just sitting on
the counter and a nice gentleman handed down to me (
I was five) and he said I could have it. That is
one of fun memories of collecting. Today depending on
the condtion you could expect $30 in bad shape to
$100 NIB. That is what I see at the shows.<br><br>Ertl
also offered a 1/24? size plastic kit model and a 1/16
1466 white cab model with duals. There was also a 1/16
cabless 1066. Ofcourse in 1990/91/92 Ertl released all
the 66/68 series in 1/16 and about 9 sets of 4
tractors with different options in
1/64.<br><br>J.Hasert<br><a href=http://www.toytractorshow.com/

I knew it was a 66 but could not remember the first numbers.  I also have the
Massey, you have any info on it by chance?

The IH 1/16 1466 was made in 1972 and came in two
styles of boxes and the 1/25 plastic model was released
in 1974.<br><br>The MF is probably an 1105 or an
1155. I am not up on MF toys as I only have a few in my
collection. The 1105 was an early 1970's and the 1155 was
1975 on so the 1/64 would have been made at that time.
It is probably the most rare of the three hooks
followed by the IH and the most common being the Deere.
Ertl had a Replica Poster that featured these models
around 1985.

looking for either of the 2 1/64 scale combines from  john deere for a frfiend
of mine if available please contact me msb71 @xoom.com

Yes, I did.  Sorry I didn't get back to you. Jr.

I purchased the 1/32 John Deere 8400 Percision
model over the weekend. Very nice toy. This is the
second Percision toy I have added to my collection. I
like the removeable front suitcase weights and engine
pannels. I think I got a pretty good deal on it, $55. Some
questions I have though are:<br>1. Is the smoke stack
removeable on this model? On one I have the smoke stack was
packed with the front weights but looked like it had
come off the tractor. I put it back on and its sits in
fine. <br><br>2. The box pictures side view mirrors on
the toy. The model I have has tiny holes on the roof
but no mirrors were included. <br><br>3. I have the
Model A #1 which also included a little booklet on the
model but one was included on the 8400. <br><br>Is this
model ship shape? If not any ideas where I might locate
the missing
items.<br><br>Jay<br><a href=http://www.toytractorshow.com

I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips
on how to repaint 1/64th scale trucks. Can i use
spray paint or do i need an airbrush, how or do i need

wheels,
ect.<br><br>Thanks,<br>John<br>Airborn00@...
