If your tractor toy has a long steel rivet holding it together, and peened over on one end, if the axles are both steel rods, and not roll pins,And smooth castings, It is probably an old toy
BUT--

If the wheel castings are rough, if the whole thing is a rough pair of castings, If it has roll pins for axles, and is held together with a bolt and nut--it might be a reproduction, which isn't worth much.
I've seen those toys on Antiques Road Show, and some bring big bucks! Best to look on the internet. do a Google search for Antique Toys. there are books out there that give the latest values for your tractor, but don't expect to get as much as they say it is worth.
Your local library should have books on the subject of antique toys.
