Raider69 65 #1 Posted February 26, 2021 As we all know Wheelhorse had a large presence at the Indy 500 providing tractors for use around the pit area. Years ago MPC made a 1/25th scale Indy car which included a model of a 60's WH tractor. How many of you have one ( or more )? Let's see pictures. I have one that's unbuilt, I bought the kit for just the tractor and gave the rest away. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 67,627 #2 Posted February 26, 2021 I do not have one but I would love to.... Just not willing to pay the $40 to $60 I see them on flea Bay for. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #3 Posted February 26, 2021 Wish I did! I asked a guy that helped produce this to consider Wheel Horses too. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 8,339 #4 Posted February 26, 2021 All: MPC re-released that model a few years back and that may be the one to look for. The original release was back in the 70's - the tires and decals would probably be mush by now in the box .... Bill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill There were no decals for the tractor in mine and the wheels and tires were molded in 2 pieces, inner and outer halves from plastic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnD 145 #22 Posted March 14, 2021 Looks like a new set is available as of March 6 - "NOW AVAILABLE: Because of the huge demand, and the last RJ-58’s sold out, we are offering these EARLY 1958 RJ-58 tractors. They are extremely detailed and 1/25 scale. They have all different features than the late RJ’s that we previously made like Clinton engine, narrow front wheels and tires, no fenders, early exhaust, and early seat. There are ONLY 75 of these made this time and they’re all serial numbered" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
