First introduced in 1960 as the successor to the D14, the D15 tractor was produced in historic West Allis, Wisconsin with options available for either an LPG or diesel engine configuration.

New Replicas Coming from ERTL this Month!!! Can You Guess When The Tractors Were Produced?

There is something awesome about looking at old tractors and seeing how their designs have changed over the years, especially when we look at them in light of changes in other industries, such as automobiles. In fact, the design alone can go a long way toward informing us of the era in which a tractor was produced. With this in mind, we are excited to announce several new models coming from ERTL this month. Take a look at these tractors and see if you can guess when they were made!

New Ford Econoline Vans from First Gear Coming this Summer!

The Ford Econoline Van is something of an institution. Many of us remember, as children, seeing these as fleet vehicles for a diverse range of companies. They were used by everyone - from construction workers to medical first responders. Ford's gamble on a full-sized van that would meet the needs of both Fortune 500 companies and small families certainly paid off. They dominated the market for years. I'm pleased to announce that First Gear is honoring that legacy with these great new 1/25 scale models!

The Allis-Chalmers C Tractor Returns!

After waiting for more than 2 years, the Allis-Chalmers C Tractor is back! 

#6090 - 1/43 Scale
Allis-Chalmers C Tractor - 1947 Model

This great looking model, which is made of high-def quality diecast metal, reflects the ingenuity and hard work associated not only with this tractor but also the generation it represents. 

The Allis-Chalmers C was a staple for the farming industry from 1940 to 1949 following in the footsteps of the less successful Allis-Chalmers RC model. Following the Dust Bowl, also known as the 'Dusty Thirties', the American farmer needed a tractor he could trust, and Allis-Chalmers heard the call. 

With articulated steering, a realistically replicated chassis, and a beautiful orange finish, this model is sure to draw some looks in a showcase or light up some smiles under the Christmas tree.

Visit 3000toys.com to get your hands on this little piece of history today!
