Slik Moline UB. I had that tractor and a plow. I was about 3. Mom took me with her shopping and I left it in the sandbox behind our house. When we got back it was gone. My favorite was the MM 445.

The story goes I had a JD tractor and wagon....threw it down the 2 holer and nobody thought it was worth retrieving.....just a sign of things to come I guess

I think the one I had was a John Deere. We had one of the spring mounted ride on horses, like they use to have in the parks, in the yard. I remember putting a hose clamp around one of the foot rest, why I have no clue, and then hooking a rope to it so I could pull it out of the ground. The horse and the spring base are no in dad's shop, and last I remember the hose clamp is still attached after something like 40 years.

J-D A, cost me a buck & quarter, other implements were a buck. Rode along when Dad went to town for repair parts. Later got another A, 2 bottom plow, tandem disc, spreader & 2 wagons with removeable flare boxes, all metal. Eventually got a plastic Farmall M for Christmas. After 1 wagon box got stepped on, made a hayrack with Erector Set to put on the running gear.

Being 74 my first toy tractor would have been an Auburn Rubber something. I don't remember much about them except when I was older the toy box had several of them with the drivers heads broke off.

Dick2 · Mar 5, 2013

I was a kid in the 30's, so never got a tractor. Mostly I had a stick and a rock, until Dad bought me a single shot .22 and gave me a "job" of keeping the gophers thinned down in the pastures.

My younger brother was born in 1941; I was jealous when he got an M Farmall and a TD18 plastic crawler. It was many years before I was able to buy some toy tractors of my own. Unfortunately, financial circumstances a few years later caused me to sell that collection; didn't start buying the current collection until I retired.

Ford 8000 and big blue wagon.

Nebraska Cowman · Mar 5, 2013

I can't tell you my first one because I played in front of the milk house and toys became casualties pretty regular. One I do remember as being a favorite was a red plastic tractor that had a front loader on it. I played with that a LOT.

BAnNC · Mar 5, 2013

Red pedal tractor from 1956. Found out we could hook the 'flyer' wagon to the back of it and drag it around the yard.

agonair · Mar 5, 2013

IH 806 with round fenders.

Adirondack case guy · Mar 5, 2013

Was a Case SC with spreader,plow, disc, and wagon. about 1951. still have the tractor and part of the disc. The tractor had to get towed back to the toybox after a fall off a cliff. LOL

My very first one was one of them Hubley 1/12th (?) scale Ford. Here's a pic of my son's first toy tractor, a JD 7520 4WD, I think it was in '74. He don't have the original but found one at a garage sale several years ago to put on the shelf.

Start as you mean to go on..... When my father bought his new MF65 in 1963/4 I was only 2-3 years old and I remember the deal taking place with me sitting on my father's knee in the sales office. i still remember the shiny red paint on those new tractors in the showroom.When the lorry driver delivered it he handed me a small 'Corgi toy' box and said the salesman sent it for me....It was this MF65 in 1/34th scale. it has done plenty of carpet farming! The loader could do with a few new bushings. And maybe a wheel bearing wouldn't go amiss!
When the new '100' range came out in 1964 I saw them at our local show, the following Christmas (I think) , I got this pedal tractor. I am still playing with tractors even though they have more horsepower!

A red colored MM looks like a or something. Still have it. The second one I remember is a MM hot rod puller I got from my Grandparents. I have one my Mom bought for my Dad in the late 1960's. It's a 190XT.

LonnAC7050 · Mar 5, 2013

That should say looks like a Z model.

My dad made me a toy tractor. It was built out of plywood and he had someone make steel axles and a T handle to steer with. The pedals turned out to be too hard for me to turn so dad took the pedals off and I drove it Flinstone style. He made me a trailer and I used to back it in under the dining room table. I put hundreds of miles on that thing. When it was first built it was painted red to be a Massey 30 like dads, but when the neighbour got a new JD 3010 it got painted green. My kids drove it some to. I still have the remains of it. I need to weld the front axle back together and change all the plywood.

rrlund · Mar 5, 2013

This pedal tractor was the first. Then two years later I got this 60 that has the loader on it,a mounted picker,wagon,combine,baler and drag type disc for Christmas.

Anonymous-0 · Mar 5, 2013

A John Deere 3010 in 1962 ,I told everyone I was going to get a real one just like it and I did 20 years later.

W_B · Mar 5, 2013

Never had any farm toys until I was an adult and bought a few toy tractors at a sale of items from an estate. His father was an Oliver dealer, but he had all sort of brands.

mb58 · Mar 5, 2013

3010 JD. 1965. Don"t know what became of it but I still have the second one, a JD 3020. 1966. I recently posted pics of a JD RW disk on Tractor Memorabilia. I got the disk with the 3020. I was a big farmer in those days!

rusty6 · Mar 5, 2013

My first was this plastic Cockshutt 30 and obviously I played with it a lot. Little later I had a die cast JD, probably a 730. Somehow I even wrecked that although it survived a little better than the plastic 30. Most of the toys I got from the early sixties on have been better cared for.

Frank Dodson · Mar 5, 2013

My first was an Oliver 77 by Silk. I think it was 1952.
I have my first cousins first toy tractor that I bought at his estate sale. It is a little Fordson with driver and is approx. 82 years old.

pete black · Mar 5, 2013

grew up a poor city boy with little to no toys except for home made ones from blocks of scrap wood. one year our church carried some of us kids to an orphanage that was located in a rural setting. they had horses and other neat stuff for the orphans. they also had a pedal tractor which was a first and only for me. remember riding it and thinking how much i wanted to live there in the orphanage.

THEkyroastnear · Mar 5, 2013

my first was one of those auburn rubber type, looks kind of like a wd allis. drivers head broke off .still around here somewhere.first metal was a i.h 560 with a wagon still have them also

oleclint · Mar 5, 2013

My parents gave me an Allis Chalmers tractor & dirt wagon for my first b day, Christmas 1938.It was made by Arcade of Freeport,Il. I still have it and no busted parts on it.Rubber wheels are wobbly! clint

My first was given to my mother by a neighbor at my baby shower, a Ertl 1:16 John Deere A. That was in the fall of 1992, as I was born in December. Eventually managed to break the front end off. Dad JB welded it back on, but never was the same, as the wheels roll, but the steering doesn't work. Don't think it was the second, but got a JD M the Christmas after that. Still have them, plus ones my Dad and my Dads boss for me over the years at Auctions.

Possibly the only time my dad used JB weld for something and it actually worked! For what ever reason, he don't have the good luck others do with JB weld.

Before I knew about JB weld I used "crazy glue" to re-attach the mfd front axle on a 1/16 scale JD tractor a friend had given me. It has held together for over 20 years. But then it does'nt get played with either.

wilson ind · Mar 5, 2013

co-op E3 still have it

RalphWD45 · Mar 5, 2013

Back in 42-43 while dad was in the pacfic theatre,(marine), Mom made my bro and me two tractors, out of sewing spools, and matchsticks, with a rubber band motor. They worked ok on the sidewalks in Jacksonville, Il.

IHRedRules · Mar 5, 2013

IH 1586 with duals. Still in pretty good shape too.

RandyB(MI) · Mar 5, 2013

Mine was an Oliver 1800 in 1963. That tractor "farmed" a lot of little fields. Never set on a shelf.

Bodyman · Mar 5, 2013

My Dad bought his first new tractor a 1945 JD A (which my son has now)from our local JD Dealer Sooooooo my first real toy tractor (early fifties) was a JD A with the man driving it. Funny thing is the man driving wore a hat like the one my dad would wear. A couple years later I got a BRAND NEW 60 Pedal tractor that made me feel like king of the hill. All was well until a few short years later nieces and nephews shoved it off the front porch and broke the seat and steering wheel off.
