At auction is an Ertl 1/16" scale Oliver 1800 tractor.This tractor has been rebuilt and only the tractor body,grill, front wheel post and steering rod are original. It was completely stripped prior to being nicely painted in Oliver green. The grill is painted white with the appropriate headlight decal and the Oliver 1800 decals have been applied to the hood. New black rubber front and rear tires are mounted on new Oliver white plastic rims. The front rims are the Oliver hub-type and all four rims have a slight green tint. New black metal steering wheel and new black rubber muffler. The rear hitch is new and the used flat top fenders were fitted with metal stiffeners and bolted thru the body under the seat. The bad news is one fender is cracked and a hole in the rear casting has been filled where the PTO shield was. This tractor has been mildly detailed by painting the seat black, fender headlights silver and the fender taillights red. Stamped Made in U.S.A. This is an impressive looking tractor that has had great effort taken to restore it to the condition you see it at and would make a great addition to any Oliver collection.
