Let's make it small toys tonight! I gotta get some pictures of my toy display.
 
No pictures, I have a few toy tractors, trucks, cows, and pigs,in the barn that my granddad made for me 60+ years ago. Also there is Tinket toys, Lincoln Logs, Erector set, American Flayer trains and modle airplanes, up in the attic.
 
Here is a few of mine.

I started collecting farm toys in the early 80's. Had little over 500 pieces of different colors, mostly 1/16th scale. Mostly off the shelf type, that was before all the precision series and what have you.
In 2001, I was driving a truck OTR and gone up to 4 or 5 weeks at a time. Came home one time and someone(s) had broke into my house and stolen everything. TV's, appliances, computer, even my clothes. AND all my toys. Only thing they left was the trash can.
For a long time I just couldn't get into it again. But little by little I got into NASCAR collectibles. Couple ago years I started picking up some tractors again here and there.
My favorite is the JD combine my granddaughters gave me last year for Christmas.
Overlook the dust on the cars. My maid hadn't done her job when I took the pics...lol

Although my feelings about the ear corn business are the opposite of yours, that is a most impressive collection. I would say state-of-the-art for its time.
I assume you built the corn crib/barn? Did you have anything like that to work with for real?
What tractor is the picker on?
Not many mounted pickers here. It was more like two tractors trying to pull a one row through the mud!
 
Heres a small sample of mine. I've been collecting ( I hate that word but it is what it is )since 98. Went kinda goofy at fist buying every thing. Now I go after just the originals from the 70's and older. Partial to Oliver, but have some them all.
If things go as planned We will get out of this trailer in the spring and into a house with room for a real toyroom. ;-)

The picker's on a Allis D 17. Not too many years ago I got the urge to find stuff to go with corn pickers and decided to make this stuff since I couldn't find anything. I didn't grow up having a drive thru crib (my wife did though) we had smaller cribs. At night I used to go out with my dad and hold a flashlight walking along the outsides of cribs where the beams inside were the light attracted rats. Dad used a .22 and shot them between the cracks. Part of why I liked it was the cool fall season and watching the corn slide out of the hopper wagons.
 
Here is a few of mine. Don't have room for all of them yet. Still have pre merger, most all 32 second and 64th scale, and a whole bunch of Red Case stuff boxed up. Pics, of about a 5th of my stuff. Our family became a Case dealer in 1931.

Decided to add this, I cut this out of stainless, aluminum propellers, about 4 foot wingspan. It's fun to watch them spin on windy days.

Holy Smokes! Loren ACG and rrlund have lots of neat toys! I'm not sure who's the winner...may be a tie.
 
a very impressive collection for sure, I see you have the NH combine from around 1969 and I believe I seen in another post you had the NH swather too from the same time frame, I lost mine in our fire in 1972 hope to some day find them again cnt
 
I'd take a picture of mine but they line up along three walls of my spare bedroom. Side by side. Also have a Dodge Charger 500 and Plymouth Superbird from Franklin Mint. And some NASCAR die-casts.
 
some of my homemade toys for grandkids
progress on four row middlebuster.
will build planting attachments for it.

Just a few Masseys from across the Pond. I have a very understanding wife! This is only what is around the living room and kitchen..Over 200 tractors in the living room alone!....Nearly every room has a 'toy'/'model' sitting somewhere!
By the way, we like to call them models....that way we don't seem so childish! LOL

Don't have a camera yet so can't post pictures of my collection yet. I started back in 2001 and instead of just collecting tractors to be collecting tractors, I set out to get a model of every gas or diesel powered car, semi truck, tractor, airplane, loader, straight truck, pickups, tools, I have ever used or driven for more than two hours, since I was big enough to hold a steering wheel. It took some time and a lot of searching on the internet over the years. The last tractor came in yesterday from Canada. I haven't got a count on the total yet but it is up around four hundred items.
 
Dad and I don't have a large collection, but Dad has most of the ones he drove in younger days! I decided one Christmas to make a Freeman loader on a WD, as that is what we have of my Grandpas. I did not quite get it proportioned right, but with the bucket up it looks better! LOL I wanted a wide front, like ours, but did not find one, and chickened out on modifying this one that far!

WOW !!! This is a really cool post, I don't have any pictures but Im into model cars and trucks I have been since I was a kid, I have around 500 kits that are unopened and probably about a 100 that are built. I don't build as many as I used to, But when I retire maybe?
 
Sorry I don't have any pictures of my Case collection, but then Loren's beats it hands down.
We have a rancher here at Great Falls who collects combines. I have no idea how many he has but it's a bunch.
 
Yes I do. A original 420 dozer and blade and a 494 planter, that I bought as a kid. My wife also has a 22 tractor 16th collection of Cocksutts, and we have a lot of Hesston stuff.

Loren,

Love all your displays. Very creatively done.

I have a small collection of maybe 12-15 tiny colorful bottles...so I like your bottle colletction too - and the tools, all really neat.
 
Beautiful collection of MF stuff, BUT, I am in total aww of the interior of your house and the grandure of your elaborate wood work. Perfection at it's finest.
Loren the Acg.

I have way more 1/64th toys, and a bunch of buildings.. I always wanted to set up a farm like my Grandpa and Uncle's, and now that I'm buying my own place (which is why the rest of the toys are boxed up.. for moving) I'll have to build a scale layout of my place.. LOL..

The toys in the cabinet are all either things grandpa had when I was a kid, or stuff I've ran at work, or toys of stuff I have now (or at least something as close as I could find anyhow)

Very very Nice collection of Red Iron.I have an extensive collection of Red stuff, Post merger up to the MX's, but I'm still a traditional CASE guy. LOL
Loren, the Acg.
 
I've got another one of those and a corn head from a Gleaner that I was going to put on it. I have all the decals and all,just never got around to getting the right paint to finish it up.
 
Thanks Loren, All my own work and self taught at that, but it is just stock redwood mouldings 'tweaked' a bit. And the bluff of modern day stains! The kitchen is 300 year old pitch pine from an old beam from a mill that was flattened a few years back. I had to get it ripped as my saw was not big enough!
Sam
 
Hey Randy,
HeHe, I got your name wright this time!!! You got a great multibrand collection. Being an oldtime Case dealer the wifey and I stuck real close to CASE, but, she has a large collection of Cocksutts, which we both cherish. We also sold Hesston tractors and equip., and have a number of those toys also. You have a great collection, and I am glad you have the same problems keeping them dustfree as we do. O-well, the real ones get dirty also. Your white wheels will never be the same on your new loader tractor.
Loren, the Acg.
 
Real nice collection Loren, I'll have to show Jimmy when I see him ;), is that you in the kitchen makin breakfast! Lol, great pics!
 
You are a master craftsman!!, Beautiful jointery and an eye for following the grains in your beams, and making them focal points.Outstanding Work.
Loren, the Acg.
 
Jay,
Nope, the wifey was makin supper, while I took these pics. Deer liver, with sauteaued garden onions, peppers fried portobella mushroons, and heated frozen garden corn with lots of butter and S&P, and a bit of milk. Works for me.
Loren
 
Jay,
see my reply below in Sweet Feet's post. Fingers must be fat tonight. We have been busy getting the saphouse ready to make syrup the past two days. We are going to run the big old Grimm evaporator this year also. It is a 6x24'. I have been sodering some leaks in the flue pan. It has set now for about 8yrs without use. will be hanging buckets this weekend.
Loren
 
I was thinking about sugaring today! With the warm
Days and cool nights! Have fun, hope u can post some pics of making syrup! I gotta buy some from a guy who does it around here, one of these days!
 
Ok guys how many of case guys have one of these little toys. Yes they are case LAs had a hard time locating these there was a larger homemade model that was perfect but it sold for over $600
