Not sure what size is 1/16 but I still have a line of ERTL JD stuff from my childhood and some misc 1/64 stuff. Another one of my quirks, loving old tractors. First one I drove was a 48 H. Dad also had a Oliver, my uncle has some AC stuff and I've always loved Ford 9 and 8 Ns.
 
Have several farmall tractors, I have lots of new match box, mopar and non mopar, mopar national cars matching numbers, franklin mint mopars, die cast mopars, petty stuff, all new, mopar magazines piles of everything. where do I list these items and magazines. thanks Webby.
 
Cast my own, build and then sold them at shows around the midwest.
Used to go to Dyersville Iowa to a big show there. I cast and built a
Case 930 with a 6 bottom plow. A Farmall 560 Diesel. Oliver 1600.
And last but not least, International 806-856-1256 with plows.
That's the one that got me in trouble with Case-IH. Then sent me a
cease and desist notice from their lawyers. That's about the time I
sold everything and got out. Sadly I only have two left.
They were all cast with the spin-cast method, in Rockford Ill.
Back in the early '90's the Case/Internationals sold for $350 and with a plow, $625.
I will try to get some pictures.

making their premiere series.

Man...Those are REALLY beautiful! I especially like the stacked rear wheel weights. I don't think that
has ever been done on any of the Precision Series tractors yet.

As a subscriber to the "Toy Farmer" since it was a black & white newsletter I'm not sure that I have
seen these before.

Too bad the manufacturers have to be such pricks. If I were Case-IH, I would be granting you a special
license and putting you on a generous retainer.

I like the all of the detail and after brooming all of the old stuff and shelf models my new collection
consists of all Precision Classic, Precision Key, Precision Elite, Collector Center Precision, Heritage Series
Precision, Prestige Edition, 2-Cylinder Club, Collectors Editions, Dealer Editions, Anniversary Editions
and show tractors. All 1/16 John Deere tractors and the 45 + 55 self propelled combines.

Now at 95+ pieces all bought in the last 5 months, there is not a plastic wheel face in the bunch and
the only implement I have is a barge wagon to go behind the mounted picker.
 
Oldman, I used to sell parts to Dakota Toys back in the day when the
original owners still had it.
If you are into scale tractors, now is a great time to buy for the fun of it.

As far as Case/IH, it really wasn't them that had the problem with the small
time builders. I wasn't the only one who got that letter. There were some guys
making stuff way more detailed than mine, but at twice the price too, and they
were told to stop. Ertl had a big interest in getting rid of us.

Later...
 
My son and I have Deere and Olivers. Combines, tractors and implements including cultivators and the like.
 
I have the Case in 1:1 Mine is a 430 diesel

always wanted models of tractors from my past: 1953 super M farmall, 1951 super C farmall, 47 B farmall (wide wheel) , and my favorite--1947 massey harris w/ a 6 cyl. Chrysler car engine in it, was scary fast and very dangerous, just right for a teenage gearhead !!
