ERTL John Deere Model 10 Pedal Tractor
Description
This die-cast metal scale model replica of a John Deere Model 10 pedal tractor was produced by ERTL as a commemorative issue for the National Farm Toy Museum. The model features a green body with yellow wheels and seat, mimicking the design of a full-sized pedal tractor with visible pedal and steering wheel details. The hood is marked with a yellow strip reading JOHN DEERE and the number 10 is printed on the side of the engine housing. The item is housed in its original green illustrated box. The front and side panels are printed with the text JOHN DEERE MODEL 10 PEDAL TRACTOR REPLICA and SERIES 3 NUMBER 1. A blue and white ERTL logo is printed in the lower right corner of the front panel. A circular sunburst logo for the NATIONAL FARM TOY MUSEUM is featured prominently on multiple panels. The rear panel contains a printed history of the National Farm Toy Museum in Dyersville, Iowa, detailing the 1986 joint agreement between Dyersville Industries and The Ertl Company. The text concludes with a printed signature for Dyersville Industries Inc. The top of the box bears two small white adhesive labels with handwritten notations: one reading 1/8 Scale and another reading No. 1 of 3. A white string tag is tied through the top flap of the packaging.
