When wound with its dedicated key and switched on this working tractor travels forward and climbs over items. The treads are original.

This piece is in very good condition. This piece shows the usual patina, fading, dust, chips, scuffs, surface rust, scratches, missing accessories, and wear that are to be expected from age and play.
