Hi,

I'd love to find a model of one of the tractors from "Green Acres".  Apparently there is a diescast model of it available, but not a plastic kit.

I never heard it called that.  A relative asked me to build a replica of an H his grandfather made but just not having any luck tracking one down.

looks good.  may have to go with that but the one i am looking for has front tires that are row tires, in other words, they are very close together.

Ertl did a series of farm tractor kits in 1:25 scale back in the 70s. I have seen the John Deere farm stuff released more recently in modern AMT/Ertl boxes, but not the Massey Ferguson or IH ones.

The Ferguson TE-20 is the same as the Ford 9N/2N.

While they are 1/35th scale Thunder Models makes two versions of  Case tractors from the early forties.  While they represent military vehicles a red paint job is all that is needed to make them into civilian farm tractors.

I would love to build some really old ones.  I am not reluctant to even scratch build one if only I could find scale drawings. I particularly would like to build an old Rumely or other tractor from the early gas/oil engine period.  I have been photographing old tractors at shows, but it is hard taking measurements on these old monsters without taking along a ladder!  One of the old steamers would be great too!  Kit or drawings, I'd sure like to get ahold of one or the other.

I looked for a while after seeing this thread today and had no luck. All I found was diecast ones. I'll keep an eye out though. Seems I recall seeing some at a hobby shop many moons ago. I'm about 90-95% sure I did, actually. Anyway, I'll let you know.

Did you work for IH?

I found many listings for this kit - but all seem sold or NA.

Is there any kits available for International Harvestor Farmall H or M row tractors?  I have searched the internet and haven't found any.
