Just came across Minneapolis-Moline Allison Team toy on e-bay. Been a long time since I"ve seen one at toy shows
 
Love to have it, even live within the distance from Rock Falls, IL that you need to be to pick it up as he wont ship it. Have to meet him part way to pick it up. If someone wants it from Anywhere a little farther south, west or east of there, i may be able to help relay it to you. Id like to find one of the G1000 with the Allisons that Ertl made in the 70's as it looks more like our tractor w the Allison
 
I would love to have the toy Allison Team puller..Here is a picture I took at Pleasant Hill,Illinois in August 1969...Its the first time I and my younger brother had ever seen a modified pulling tractor..We were in awe..There was such a crowd around the two Allisons that it was tough to get a picture..

Wow, thank you for the pix. I was lucky enough to watch this rig go down the track for the first time. It was a thundering beast to put it mildly. Every person in the grandstand was on there feet trying to get a good look at what just roared by! But as normal , I did not have my camera. clint.
 
I have to admit the toy on e-bay is mine. Just wanted to direct Moline guys to the tractor. Luke I also have the ertl G-1000 vista similar to yours for sale.Its not on e-bay. Here is a picture of both. I had the G-1000 repainted around 15 years now. Restoring another M-M could use the money. Thanks Jeff

Luke, I visited with Calvin when I saw him at Dyersviile this past Nov. about what he could do w/ a vista casting to build a model of yours. He mentioned that he had already spoke with you. I told calvin at that time that I have a 1/16 scale engine !!!! The major hurdle is how to mold from mine and proceed. I have since visited with Calvin as he recoups from surgery and he doesn"t seem to have an answer as to what we could do. We"ll have to keep it on top of the list of things we must get done. Call me if I can help.
 
Dean, great minds think alike! I will get in touch with you about the engine. I've been talking with Calvin the last couple days about some new tractors he is building. Jeff, I'd be interested in your g1000. Especially since you are close by. My email is open if you can shoot me your number.
 
Luke,please keep me up to speed with anything Calvin does new. When I phoned him to see how he was doing, he wasn't able to do much except ride in the pickup when his family did the chores for him. Sure hope he is getting along better. I hope we can get some things to work out/ fall into place and maybe get a start. LOOKING FORWARD to it. Call me if you need anything
 
Both versions are just awesome. I saw the replica version at the Fremont, Ohio toy show last spring and it was also at Greenville a few weeks ago (same dealer). As mentioned $1200 and in my opinion its not out of line at that price.
 
Have these for sale, if anyone is interested or may know someone who would be interested let me know.
