BC Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Don't know if this question has been raised before but the search I did did not reveal anything. Anway I bought No 42461 at the weekend and although the box is labelled a JD 7450 the decal on the model is 7750 (i) prodrive. Anyone seen this or any ideas why ???

BC Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 I suppose I should really go and look on a John deere website and see if that can tell me anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike R Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 the JD 7750 is the ERTL version not the britains version Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'm still a confused individual on this one Mike. Thats an ERTL box alright but the description on the box is 7450 but the decal on the machine is 7750 (i) prodrive. So what I'm trying to find out is the box description wrong or is it the decal on the machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BC Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks Andy.... its annoying me now I've got the bit between my teeth ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Bill, Just recieved notification that the box is incorrect and should read 7550i, as well as the model decal. The issue has been reported with the factory and will be corrected for the next production run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 1, 2008 Author Share Posted October 1, 2008 Thanks Andy but I could have sworn the decal on mine was 7750 (i) and not 7550 (i ) but I will recheck again tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jez Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hiya BC I have one of these. What do you think? I am trying to do a report on it both from a collectors point of view and a toy point of view. I am bitterly dissapointed wiht mine. The grass header falls off, the maize header does not fold properly. Full report when I can. However, the detail is good but some decals already peeling off.... :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BC Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 Well Jez when I saw the decal number was different from the model number on the box I did not even bother removing the model from the box. Looking forward to your write up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
