Let?s see your toy tractor collections . Here?s a small part of Mine
a252180.jpg
 
R You figure you got over 300 there ? Pretty good bunch for sure. I have several but nothing like that. I have an oliver you probably need. I will need to check it but serial number collector made for the Dyersville show back about 1968. Book showed it to be worth $700.00 several years ago but now days those things are over with. I really need to figure out what to do with mine. Neither of the grandkids are interested. Just a pile of junk to them.. LOL
 
WOW now that's a tractor collection, that has taken you many years and many dollars to collect. how many tractors and implements have you got there? rrlund what do you put the value of your collection at?
 
Like jm says,it's probably in the neighborhood of 300. I've got some there that my brothers and I got for Christmas when we were young. I don't buy too much anymore,but if I can find an Oliver or a White now and then,I'll grab it. No idea what it's all worth. Never really thought about it.
 
That?s a nice collection . If You ever want to let that 4wd and chopper with wagon go I?d love to have it
 
I started going that way about 20 years ago. Nobody's reproducing those and coming out with new ones every 5 minutes.
 
I paid 2000$ for a 3020 Diesel powershift you know as well as I do some of the toys are bringing that much for certain models
 
No collection here, but a favorite of mine. We have a '51 DC Dad bought new. I would often look through the owners manual and wish he had gotten the awf option. So, thirty years later I got a '53 of my own, equipped with eagle hitch, dual hydraulic pump, foot clutch, and... adjustable wide front. Someday mine will be painted as nicely as this model.

Only one toy tractor. It's an antique crawler, similar to the one in the photo, but I am in Iceland and don't have a photo of mine. I need to take it out and display, since it's just gathering dust. It was part of my dad's antique toy collection.

The toys will just be one more thing I'm gonna stick them with that they'll have to figure out what to do with. Kinda like all my horse drawn plows. Some people have portfolios,rednecks have lottery tickets and commemorative plates,I've got all this stuff. LOL

I just couldn't keep up anymore. When you're not enjoying it,it's time to quit. All the collector series and precisions took the fun out of "toys".
 
good afternoon howdy, the amazing part is how much work that little 2n will do! we see them all over up here, 2n's 8n's 9n's hooked to or pulling everything you can imagine, blades and snowblowers in the winter, plows, discs, cultivators, wagons, cutting wood, skidding logs you name it they do it! if you stop and ask a 2n or 8n owner about his tractor he'll tell you no not for sale just too handy, part of the family, it'll be here as long as I am. pound for pound one of the top 5 tractors ever built i.m.o. and I doubt anyone could talk howdy1960 out of his 2n!
 
Kind of how I?ve gotten and ertl s new favorite thing to do is make the same tractor over and with just a different model number
 
Very nice tractor the first tractor that I started my collection with was a case 500 vintage vehicles series I had toys before that but never collected them until then I still have that tractor although it?s in rough shape it was a toy before being moved to the collection
 
I have a few shelves full but nothing like what I'm seeing here. Since the kids left the nest I moved in to our son's room, wife and I sleep better if we don't hear each other snore. And, I get to have stuff she wouldn't have sitting around in HER bedroom. For fun I've printed pictures of old toys I like and glued them to thin veneer. Don't take much space. Do have the steamer and threshing machine on the dresser. And.. a new calendar for the new year.

I love that thresher. The folks who used to sell Badger equipment and Pioneer seed had one sitting on top of the file cabinet in their office. Nothing else,just that. I tried to talk them out of it more than once,but they wouldn't part with it.
 
Very nice where did you find a threshing machine to go with the steam engine ? I have the case millennium steam engine and would really like to have a threshing machine to go with it . I really like that 8020 I have the 8020 precision as well
 
I've seen one other threshing machine like it-- at an auction, it had John Deere decals. (I could find pictures of it) I found this one on eBay after watching quite a while. I got a deal on it (a little over $100) compared to the one at the auction (several hundred). When this one arrived all the wheels were broken, not packed well enough. Luckily Dakota toys had matching replacements.

When the Case Millenium steam engine came out soon after there was a chance to talk with a representative of that toy maker by phone. I asked about them making a thresher to go with it, he said "they've talked about it". This was years ago apparently they don't think it would be worth the trouble.
 
Makes me so mad what the toy manufacturers consider good ideas or not let?s make a tractor with no implements to go with it
 
Not very good pics, I have 3 walls in the man cave with toys on them,with 3 gun safes it's had to get a good pic. The first pic is part of my complete set of Deere precision classics and other is a few odd balls,like the Minnie Mo pulling tractor.

Well, because I don't "need" them I have 3 big toys! Only 1 toy tractor. Got a few other toys. Little Nascar heavy, ain't added any to it in a while. Sorta lost interest ....

I found pictures I took of the J.D. thresher that was in an auction. Also inside the one I have is the original sales slip. It was first sold in 3/3/1988 for $151 including $3.00 shipping by Lowry Farm Toys in Lowry, Minnesota. I don't see a manufacturer. There is also assembly instructions, apparently was sold new unassembled.

I had two of those Ford toy tractors like that when I was a kid. One came alone,the other was in a barn box with a three bottom plow and a trailer with some crates full of chickens. There are some remnants of them here yet,but I had to buy a replacement to have a good one to display.
 
We didn't get that far down last year. We only did Michigan and Ohio. I got the Oliver 1800,the combine,Oliver crawler and White 2-155 in Ohio.
 
Randy, that is a true 1800, I can tell by the dash. Does it have the narrow hitch? What's the story with the four digit with the white loader? Is that a custom? Very nice collection, thanks for sharing. I have about 200 oliver and white toys but most are in storage now so hard to get pics. Have a Happy New Year and a safe 2018.
 
Ya,that's a rare bird. It's the 1800 Checkerboard casting with the spear decals. The fenders are held on with screws instead of being riveted to a clip. There aren't many of them around like that. I know of two. this one's at leats 99%+ paint. There's just a tiny little chip in one corner of the grill.

The one with the loader is an 1800 that I got for Christmas back about 64 or 65. That one has the wide drawbar and the clip on fenders. It's an IH loader on it. I got that for Christmas that year along with the tractor.

I've got one or two other Olivers too. lol

It's more regional than you'd think. There've been things we were looking for and could easily find in Alabama,Tennessee and most of Kentucky,but farther up,you just don't see. The vendors in the southern states seem to be more high end. The prices are too. We've run in to some folks from Georgia up her in Michigan a few times who've told us they usually start on this end anymore because it's different stuff than they can find down there. We stayed at a hotel in Ohio last year and were talking to some folks who farm cattle and peanuts down in the Florida/Georgia line. They have an antique/junk shop. They said they spend the whole time in Ohio because of the variety and lower prices up here. They had their livestock trailer and the back seat of the pickup packed when we talked to them.
They said that the year before,they met up with some friends up her,emptied everything in to their trailer and filled theirs again.
 
I think they made three different tractors using that Massey Ferguson casting. When I stripped this one down,the V8 engine halves were just riveted on. Without those and the cab,it was like the one you have there.

I have more than I can display. Hoping to change that soon. Besides collecting I also restore and custom build. I made the three bottom Case plow from scratch.

Dad had a tractor repair business when I was little. I like to collect the models of tractors his customers had. That's why my collection is heavy with 1940's and 50's models.

I shared my collection once on a toy tractor site. The other members told me to stop living in the past. And to collect new thousand series John Deere's and CaseIh because two cylinders and Farmalls were dead.

I collect what makes me happy.

I just checked and my 1800A with narrow hitch has screwed on fenders also. My other 1800 with wide hitch has riveted fenders but correct dash. Your's must be one of the first 1800Bs. I have seen ones like your's listed on auctions, so they are out there.
 
I have those Doepkey toys for real. In daylight i should be able to snap a couple of pictures. Both types of graders. Yellow, Orange new old types. Two dozers that need restoration. They are very hard to find in one piece! MG car, unit crane, Euclid dump bottom, sand loader, Wooldridge dump bottom, and some other odds and ends.
 
"I collect what makes me happy."

Ain't that the truth. I wish I had stuck with that instead of trying to get all the Two Cylinder Club tractors. When about the fourth or fifth one in that series doubled in price from what the one was the year before,that's when I got sick of the knock off and reproductions and lost interest.

Like I said,if I come across an original Oliver or White I'll grab it,but I don't even care much for the reproductions of those.
 
They are still in the box because most collectors want them that way. When you go to sell them they are far more valuable that way.
 
I forget what is in it. It has been there for years. It is a major job for me to climb the stares on all fours so I have not been in the toy room to look things over for at least two years. I went in to get a N gauge train set for Dixie before Christmas. Sad! I need to have an auction. toys in every room in the house except one bathroom.

The link also has the Keystone truck collection (plus) I have several more Ohio Art barns in boxes and thousands of the Ohio animals. Years ago I set in my chair and painted Ohio Art animals in the winter. before laptop computers
My late wife collected dolls. Attic has dolls and some toys. Dixie also collected dolls. The only thing Dixie and I collect in toys now is dust.

I need to start picking up that Ohio Art stuff. I had two or three of those farm sets when I was little. It's hard to find enough single pieces anymore to put together a nice set though. You know how it is. Find one piece and pass on it,then you find another major piece and wish you'd have bought the other one,so you pass on the second one too.
 
Beautiful collection I collect steam engines and everything else I really enjoy the older tractor models I have about 15 precision tractors most of them are old model tractors I also enjoy collecting models of the new tractors as well sounds like you must have had a bunch of young kids responding to your post
 
I have one or two barns with silos some where I bought years ago that was in the sun room. Dixie moved it to the garage with a bunch of other boxes. She wants me to load up the boxes and take them to the factory so she can get her car in. She wanted it done before it showed but the snow sneaked up on me. When I run across them I'll set them aside and take pictures of them. As I remember they were as good as what I have in the toy room. I think there was some fence with one of the barns. When I bought them I had a future display in mind. It will never happen now.
 
Ya,quite often you'll find the animals in a bag,fence bundled together and the tractors at flea markets. Once in a great while the smaller outbuildings.
 
My late wife and I were looking for antique picture frames. She found what she liked an antique shop somewhere in Alabama. In talking with the owners about where they found them. She said that one came from an old house locally but the rest they bought at an auction in Shipshewana Indiana.
She said they make several trips to Shipshewana a year. I used to buy my Round house bibs there and we attend the Blue Gate Theater several times a year. small world!
 
My late wife worked at the Ohio Art and I worked across town in the plastic factory that made all there plastic parts in the 1960's. We also made animals for Auburn Rubber. We made the Auburn animals in white and tan. When we changed colors the workers could take them home. I ended up with a medium sized box of them when the kids were gone. Those were given away to the grand kids to play with.
 
That?s impressive I?ve always had grand ideas of building toys but then I remember I have no talent when it comes to building
 
I?m not that interested in resale value but they are easier to display in the boxes I can stack them 3 sometimes 4 high in the boxes and the box helps protect them
 
I think they were all 20 something brats. I have about 35 of the old precision classic series. I stop buying them when the price tag went over $120.00. I put my precisions that are on display in plastic boxes to keep them clean. The boxes are football showcases is anyone is wondering.

I was cleaning my collection today. Several of the toys wrapped in plastic bags stacked against the wall had price tags under $18.00. A few were under $14.00.
 
This was my Uncle's toy. I never met him. He was killed in WWII when I was 4 month old.

Folks here have a lot of neat toy tractors!

I've always been partial to the 1/64th scale - cheaper to buy and less space required. The collection started about 35 years ago when I was a kid and continues to grow. The cabinet in the vertical picture is a little deceiving since it has a mirror on the back. It makes it look like there's a lot more in there than there really is.

Grew up around my late Grandfathers Super W6, it was the smallest tractor on the farm when my Dad was farming. But love the look of it with blade & chains on it. It lives a pretty sheltered live in its shed. Comes out when quad cant push the snow anymore. As a kid, did lots of dirt farming in Mom's garden with red & green 1/16 toys. I collected 1/64 as teenager, now in late 30's/early 40's put big effort into collecting W series tractors from 1940 to 1958 era. Even tractorguy2 customized one for me, thanks Kenny.
 
Then found out about the W30, W40 models, so started on them also. Picked up couple brass models, look like they could even run.

I have several pieces of Doepke and Nylint heavy equipment.These are the only ones that I have pictures of.

Ken did custom work for me, made this International 400. Used fenders from an AR model, early IH 400 were used fenders/platforum from the Super W6. Also first couple month of production, there was no "W" on them either.

My biggest toy is W4 pedal tractor, local caseIH dealer ordered it from caseIH dealer in Minnesota. Toy dealer here, told me there was next to none ordered north of the border for some reason. I was 40th NFTS, found front weight bracket at Scale models were tractor was made. Across the street found the muffler. Outside the museum, Tom was selling fenders. I had them powder coated.

my collection is weak, not even really worth posting...the newest addition is the WD9 that larry (from here) sent over.

Wheat belt tractor works of Newton Kansas, but were made in Korea. From what I can tell it was the early 90's. The detail is amazing! If you put fuel in them, think they would run. They made in red, grey & brass colours.
 
I?ve always liked tractors like that with all the detail
takes some serious workmanship to build
something like that . That?s why I fell in love with
the precision series?s and millennium series from
ertl finally some tractor with detail and moving parts
 

A couple of days late to the show but I made it. I don't get a chance to get on here only 1 or 2 times a week. Anyways, lots of nice toys posted. enjoyed looking at all of them. Here's some of mine if you care to look though them. I've been rounding these up for 20 years or so. Like many have said, when I started I tried to get them all. The whole set. All in the series. That got old a while ago. Have give up on most all the new and look for the older originals. Fist pics are a display I set up at our local tractor show. last ones are at home what I have out. Rest are in boxes in the basement.
