This is my Ertl McCormick Farmall 806 pedal tractor. It was given to me in 1965, (the first photo is of me laying beside it) after my father and grandfather bought a Farmall 706 propane farm tractor. The second photo was taken prior to me restoring it in December 2011. The final photo is after I completed the restoration and was given the trailer for Christmas.

Were you having some trouble with the transmission in the first pic ?lol!!!
Thanks. I do kind of remember that something needed fixed:-)
Very nice restoration and I love your picture of the budding shade tree mechanic.
