Id love to see those back out too. I have whats left of my old childhood builds of the Ertl IH and Massey farm tractors but not enough to do anything with them and there in bad shape.

PierreR89 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 My googling skills are apparenty somewhere else today. But what are the dimensions of it when it is fully built? length, width and height. Inches or mm doesent matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stavanzer Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 IIRC, from Tim Boyd's article in the "Other Mag", the tooling for the Tractors, Plows and Farm Trailers, was not part of the deal when AMT bought the other truck tooling from ERTL. So, until someone can convince ERTL to let somebody run plastic in the tooling ERTL still holds, the Tractors, Backhoe, Ect, From that tooling will not be seen again. I'll go out on a limb, and guess that Tom Lowe, and others in the Model community have tried to get the use of that tooling, and so far have not been successful. But, maybe someday. Tim Boyd or others probably know much more than I do, as I mostly just read stuff, and extrapolate from what ahs been mentioned or guessed at by other who know more than I do.

Alan....I wasn't the source of that info, at least to the best of my recollection. Remember that Ertl acquired the AMT tooling back in the early 1980''s, not the other way around. When Tom Lowe acquired the rights AMT-Ertl tooling bank from RC2/Learning Curve aournd 2008 or so, to the best of my knowledge it included all of the original Ertl tools. The article, btw for anyone interested, was in the December 2017 issue of the other mag and it was called "Ertl before AMT: The Kit History". Also, the John Deere 4430 tractor and 310 Backhoe Loader kits have been reissued in the recent decades, but I don't think they sold all that well, which is probably one of the reasons you haven't seen them in more recent times. I would imagine that if Round 2 does do OK with the PayHauler, maybe some more of that old Ertl-orginated construction and farm tooling might see future reissues. Hope that helps, at least a bit.

stavanzer Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 Thank You, Tim, for correcting my rusty memories. I wish that the Tractors would come back someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goose1957 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 This is great news. Hope to pick one up this go round. Have the AMT bulldozer, Autocar dump truck, crew chief Chevy Blazer, El Camino. Hope to start my own construction company, lol. Now, just need the backhoe kit rebooted. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DZ7581 Posted March 7, 2020 Share Posted March 7, 2020 I hope round2 takes a chance with the farm equipment. I would like some but it's hard to find and expensive on the second market. I know the John Deere tractor was reissued, but having the plow or wagon also probably would have helped sales. I guess only time will tell if we get any.

The Kenworth W900 was the last one rereleased and that’s a long time ago now. Hopefully we see them again. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Ben....those 1/32nd (and also the AMT 1/43rd) truck kits were all AMT-developed tools. The only original Ertl-tooled 1/32nd truck kit was #8050, an International Eagle COE with the new, larger grille design that incorporated the headlamps.....it was introduced around 1984 and featured the snap-fast assembly approach. I don't recall the kit myself, and I suspect it did not sell particularly well when introduced. Thanks for the question...TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, all those farm tractor and farm implement kits were pictured in my article referenced above....might be worth digging out the mag to check it out....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan, you're welcome. And I agree, for instance wouldn't it be way cool to see that Massey-Ferguson Tractor kit for sale again? TIM PS - check the thread on the AMT 1964 F-85 for the answer to your question on that (I think it was you who asked)….the answer is "yes".

gdd0803@yahoo.com Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I had plan to build a pay hauler, and use parts as loads for lowboys. then I sold it before I did it, maybe get one and did it this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledsel Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 Awesome kit I had one and knew I could not do it justice. Traded it to a friend who gave it what it needed. As published in MCM..... Great job Charles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrKerry Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 That would look good on a drop deck low boy with some oversized load placards on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Interesting subject to offer, wish they had some other stuff to run as I think this kit will sell limited quantities due to it's price, the size and subject matter. Nice to see some of the old stuff come back out but I would think they could find stuff with better selling potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
