TT-(Moderator) 1,131 #3 Posted January 9, 2008 Don't want to be accused of voting twice, Bill, but since we hang out in so many of the same places, I'm gonna do it again. How about a 1/8 scale die-cast 701 (with maybe a mower deck) for around $30.00 to $40.00? I don't think anything represents the Wheel Horse tractor's impact on suburban lawn care and gardening over the last 45 years more than the first front engined garden tractor. (I know -- that's just my opinion, right? ) Of course, they can always make more models after that. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,029 #5 Posted January 9, 2008 I'd like to see 1/8 to go with my die cast car collection, 1965- 1969 prefer short frame, die cast, $20- $40 maybe a snowplow or sickle bar. Just my two cents worth. Kelly in MI Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,300 #6 Posted January 9, 2008 Can anyone tell me about how big a tractor would be in any of these sizes? I would'nt want matchbox size. Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,408 #7 Posted January 9, 2008 Mike... the larger (common sandbox size) models of farm tractors are 1/8... the little matchbox size are 1/64. So I'd think a Wheel Horse would be about half that size, respsectivley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
