The John Deere Lanz 700 Tractor was issued in 1964 by Lesney.

I'm posting this because of Galen just posted the 1909 Thomas Flyabout from a similar Lesney/Matchbox era and I remembered Tony's love of tractors.

This old issue is a way to celebrate the end of 2025. It is a 1965 issue, the second as the first one looked the same except that it had grey tires.

I start with a page from the 1965 catalogue.

It's just a wee bit smaller than my John Deere's.
