Frank will pick it up, hold it in his hand, turning it back and forth with a thoughtful expression. Then he'll tell you who made it and their production run years. He'll say it's a nice piece. Then he'll say there isn't enough meat on the bone and set if back down

I have this picture of a grown man, using a piece of string as a tow rope, pulling out the toy tractor and making pretend engine sounds.
That's how I'd do it. Lol

I know it's JD yellow, but that front-end looks like a Massy:)

We can run this thread out another 3-4 days discussing brand alone. :)

JD tin & yellow, IH rear wheels, Massey front... Gentlemen, we're looking at an early Grey Market tractor.

I'd wager good money that somewhere on that tractor it will say "Made in China".

Annnnnd... I would've lost my wager! Made in the USA. (Good thing nobody took me up on that bet.)

More research needed.
