IH 5-Millionth Pedal Tractor

If you love pedal tractors, you will need to seriously think about buying our latest IH pedal tractor, the 5-millionth 1066. These pedal tractors will be shipping by the end of Feb. We only produced a very limited amount, and they have all been ordered by Case IH dealers. If you want one, you better not take too long!!!!

This pedal has an all new hood and grille designed to replicate the 5-millionth 1066 tractor. Enjoy!!!

New IH 5088 Tractor

Our 2010 Case IH catalog did reveal that we were tooling a new 1/64th IH 5088 tractor. Ertl had produced a 5X88 1/64th tractor back twenty years ago. We tried running this tooling, but it was beyond repair. This new tooling includes cab glass and separate steps, something we obviously didn't have on the original tooling. We'll also have a version of this tooling as one of our State Tractors in 2010.

Look what I found

I'm sure most of you know by now that I work out of the Dyersville, IA office. Here in Dyersville we have the marketing, engineering, graphics and sales functions that handle most of the agricultural toys. Adjacent to the office is one of our warehouses where most of the farm product is stored and shipped out to retailers.

In the warehouse we have a special "archive" room where we've tried to keep samples of the product we've produced over the years. One of the items we have is a very early John Deere 1/64th tractor set. No one knows exactly when this specific set was produced, but most of the tractors shown in this set were tooled in 1967. You probably can't tell from the pictures, but most of these tractors had hooks for a hitch, instead of the holes we now use. It's interesting to me to look at the design of these tractors vs. what we are currently tooling today. I'm intrigued by the big blister card. Who knows, maybe someday we'll do this again.
