Chassis Build: Structured from durable die-cast metal elements, a solid underslung axle housing, and an integrated rear drawbar hitch panel for pulling matching 1/16 scale implements.
Axle Profile: Formed with a wide front stance design utilizing a detailed steel steering connection assembly.
Tires & Rims: Fitted with heavy, deep-lugged black rubber rear agricultural tires over steel yellow inset rims.
Condition Report:
The tractor is in good, structurally intact vintage condition. The wheels roll smoothly and the body maintains uniform structural alignment. The green painted finish shows moderate, genuine play wear including scuffing, edge chips, and minor paint loss along the leading lines of the front hood nose, cab frame seams, and fenders. Localized dust and light storage debris are present within the tread lines and chassis recesses.
