robbo Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I was given this old Massey Harris model last weekend and it seems to be in very good condition. I don't know anything about the maker but I suspect that it may be Dinky or Lesney. There is no box but it is quite heavy for its size, I suspect that it might be 1/87 but again, that is a guess and I am not really sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leakeyvale Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I have one classified in my database as 1:76 by Matchbox/Lesney. Yours is in better condition than mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leakeyvale Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 You know me too well, Mike. I do have a fair number of "mini" tractors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super6 Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 I suspect that this is not the original issue but the 40th anniversary issue going by the super shiny wheels/tyres see here and compare with other version with die cast coloured wheels/tyres https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=matchbox+massey+harris+anniversary&rlz=1C1GGRV_enGB751GB751&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjGtuKSyavbAhWJesAKHZc9CAMQsAQILQ&biw=1292&bih=677 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbo Posted May 29, 2018 Author Share Posted May 29, 2018 Thanks Paul but that link doesn't work. I did think that it looked slightly different as the other ones had yellow wheel centres and solid front wheels whereas this one has gold centres and spoked front wheels https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Dinky-Toys-Massey-Harris-Tractor-With-Driver-Figure/392031397606?epid=1323216670&hash=item5b46e466e6:g:0XAAAOSwlila5hK- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tractordave Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 Your Matchbox Tractor looks very much like this one in the 1988 40th anniversary set https://www.2dehands.be/verzamelen/modelbouw-schaalmodellen/matchbox/set-van-5-matchbox-series-255948676.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
