I uploaded a picture of the actual tractor I based the model on. As soon as
it gets moderated anyone interested can compare them. I would like to restate
that it was built from memory as it appeared about 10 years ago. The most
obvious discrepancy is that the exhaust pipe is on the wrong side.

Well I know that when I worked K B Toys last year, the 2 or 3 diecast farm
eqiupment toys sold quite well. So did realistic NASA stuff, but lego is not
making those right now either. Well we can always hope that some day they
will.
