That's different! I believe the actual old John Deere farm tractors had 2-strokes! You'd need an RC nitro car starter-box to engage the flywheel, to fire-up the Cox with all that gearing. If it was an IH Farmall.. I'd bid on it!

I actually think that would make a great toy. If it were me I would put a non-SPI and muffler on it to tame it down. Cooling needs to be addressed.

A great toy for who? Smile

This thread led me to search the bay for some Ertl 1:16 scale IH farm implements I had as a kid. I found them all! (1970's vintage)

This baler is a "Tru-Scale" New Holland.. but it looks more like the one I had, than the "Ertl" IH one below it.

Holeey crap! The things boys do for fun. Not being from big farm country, I hadn't thought of that, but it makes perfect sense.
