One more four-wheeled alternate...

...my latest tractor. Another non-Ertl, non-John Deere. This one is the SpecCast "Highly Detailed - Classic Series" 1956 International Harvester Farmall 450 Gas Hi-Clear. The level of the tractor's operational features and its precise detailing is astonishing. Combine the near flawless scaling of the build materialsand you have an astounding and very realistic 1:16th replica. The paint is rich and deep and applied smoothly and consistently overall. The stance, especially notable on 'Hi-Clear' models, (also known as Hi-Crop, High Crop or High Clearance tractors) is vividly authentic compared to the 1:1 it's modeled after. This was a tractor that International Harvester made under the Farmall brand and the 450 gasoline version was built from 1956 through 1958. It had a 4 cylinder 4.6L enginewith a 10 speed partial power shift transmission. The model stands out among any brand, like-scale tractors. It also fits well with my 'Hi-Crop' John Deere tractors.

Gentlemen of the BIG cars, your tractors are great as well as great big. I thoroughly enjoyed your good posts. A few months ago a buddy of mine made these two available and I couldn't resist. I tried to post them here a couple of hours ago and (not unheard of with me) I neglected to finish the post. Anyhow, here are a couple of tractors from an earlier era.
