These two tractors were purchased off eBay in rough condition and completely restored by me (JP). I wanted to bring them back to life for many more years of play and enjoyment.
Each tractor was completely disassembled down to bare metal, stripped, primed, and repainted. They received new axles, new decals, and the dual wheels were properly spaced to better match the appearance of the real machines.
I plan to continue restoring older all-metal Ertl tractors and Tonka trucks because the newer plastic models simply don’t have the durability of the originals.
Available for sale:
* International 1586 Turbo – $80
* John Deere 8560 4WD – $180
If you’re interested in either tractor, or if you have an old tractor or truck you’d like restored, send me a message. I’d be happy to discuss your project and see what can be done.
