A bull dozer aka a tractor. Actually it is a tractor with a dozer blade. Case is known for their agricultural equipment but this of course is construction equipment.
This model features a plastic cab that can be removed. Looks like a Caterpillar without the roof. It has rubber treads which move but sadly rubber gets brittle over time. This one has one intact tread. Luckily reproductions are available from a company in England. They also make tires and other small pieces that tend to get lost.
This model has a big brother which is the Case Tractor sold with the Case Tractor and Low Loader King Size set. The King Size version was released in 1966. The smaller version was released in 1969 and was sold in this paint scheme through 1973. No garish metalflake paint scheme for it.
Great tractor & big brother, nice treads & cool design
More great colors, I did not know there were large and small versions. Glad they never put an outlandish paint job on an already beautifully painted dozer.
Thank you very much Newfld from both Tractors.
Thank you very much Toyrebel. Yes very glad they didn't deface that one. Although the trailer for the King Size one got turned lime green.
Thank you

How come so many of your posts make me want to get on the floor and make brrmmm noises Fort?
Because they are cool and nostalgic I guess.
Thank you very much racer4four.
