I see where the Ertl (racing Champions) folks are going to "end" the Precision Series after the release of the John Deere 5010. I"ve been hearing rumors, but no "hard facts". I"ve heard that Mother Deere wants 1/32 scale "current production tractors" as toys. I"ve heard of a more limited production (read more expensive) series, featuring some of the already released tractors, in different form. (i.e. 4020 powershift with a cab, ect) The precision Series is very popular. I doubt it would be discontinued, unless something "bigger" was in the works. I"m still waiting for a Precision "D", a 4320, maybe a few more impliments, and I sure would like to see a 1/16 scale Precision combine. (Maybe a 95/105/6600/7700!) has anyone heard any word about the fate of our Precisions? John

Indy, do you happen to get "Toy Farmer" magazine? They have mentioned some about this, but nothing solid. Every month I keep searching the issue for any info about this since I just started collecting and if they do not produce anymore precisions, well you know what the price of the ones already made is going to do,,,through the roof!

By the way, I recently bough 2 precisions and am getting ready to chop them and modify them. I am a Ford man and I want a 641, but without a loader and with the detail of a precision. I am going to remove the loader and replace the rear wheels with ones off a 621 which does not have rear weights.

The other is a 5000. My grandfather had an earlier model and it did not have front frame mounted weights, a vertical exhaust and his had a split grill. Since I have experience in scratchbuilding and modifying armor models, I am going to to the same with this tractor. I hope to have them finished in time for the national show in November.

I"ve managed to accumulate all the precision Deeres, even "rare" ones like the FFA 4020, the Parts Expo A, The hi-crop 630, ect. I managed to get 2 of each of them. One stayed boxed, and in some cases, the one that "got out of the box", got customized. I have a couple 4440"s that have had quite a bit of work done on them. One has rim-mount duals, using ANOTHER set of 4440 rears, donated from another parts tractor. I have 2 4020 nf, that got tires, wheels, and wide fronts, from "donor" 4000"s. both have front and rear wieghts, one has a fender radio, and ROPS w/ canopy. Both look good! I"ve even done a 4020 PS/WF. Got it looking like my 1/1 scale 4020. I"m currently putting a #45 loader on a 630 nf. It will be like the first ever 2 cylinder Deere I ever ran. Belonged to a nieghbor when I was a kid.
Customs, done right, bring big peso"s.
I"m leaning towards believing that Precisions will continue, but as 1/32 scale "current production" models. They"re making us all loose wieght, guess our toys are gunna have to also..... Have a good one. John
