Tony your tractor collection is fabulous If it weren't for a lack of space I could get easily hooked on these gems.
Being raised on a farm I love the tractors from the 40 thru 60s. I have a bunch of them in 1:43 scale. I would have preferred a larger scale but room is an issue, what with all the car models.

@perrone1 Tony not sure if your History Channel over there has it but there's a series showing here called "The Machines that made America". First episode featured tractors. Produced as a broad general appeal program so a bit light on specific historical and technical information but still informative. Also theres "Cars that made the World" screening too, looks like from the same production company with similar general presentation. Some beautiful cars featured.
Tony, your tractors are most impressive. I remember admiring some similar thirty years ago; I even had a small gathering of some 1/64 tractors and their helpers. But as I looked around my room, this was about as close as I could come:

Geoff, SAW IT! They show Food That Made America and the Cars & Machines shows as well. Additionally I love our "RFD" Channel which brings me "Classic Tractor Fever", Mecum Auction's "Gone Farmin'" with every brand of tractor imaginable. They also broadcast a show we record on, "Trains & Locomotives".

I would enjoy seeing more of your tractor posts!

Thank you David. I'm not very conversant with the older cast iron models but I know some of those are not only hard to find these days but worth some nice money!!
