Some of my favorite tractors from the show

The Silver King may be my favorite. I love the design, it has a locomotive feel to it in my opinion. It seems to have a nice finished high quality bruteness to it.

Twin City 21-32. Another rusty work horse that sounded fantastic.

McCormick Deering WD-40. This beast was beautiful....

Great set, and yeah, that Silver King is a good looking beast!

Thanks. I had never seen one. Looked up the history today and Silver King actually made locomotives instead of tractors during the war. I guess my design judgement was on track, who would have thought?Interestingly, Henry Ford purchased two of them, tore them down, and examined.

Interesting; wasn't aware of the locomotive aspect.
