Determining Scale

Hi all -- Newbie here and trying to figure out scale of something. It's a toy Ford tractor and measures roughly 11 inches front to back.
Would you consider that 1/16?

Many thanks!
 

I have two models of Fords; a 8N and a 6000. The 8N tractor used 28" diameter rear tires and the diameter of the model (estimate the diameter where the tire bead would contact) measures 1.75". 28" divided by 1.75" = 16. The 6000 tractor used 38" diameter rear tires and the diameter of the model measures 2.875". 38" divided by 2.875" = 13.2.

Therefore, the 8N appears to be to a 16:1 scale and the 6000 is maybe intended to be 12:1
 
original Ford toys from the 1950's up into the 80's were mostly 1/12. reproduction toys like the 50th Annerversary 9N toy, precision toys and Collector edition toys are 1/16.
