Hi collectors!! Please see the first tooling sample images for the new 1/16 Case 2670 tractor. I’m going to share a bit of information regarding the unit.
This has been a very interesting project in the fact that it has a tremendous amount of angles involved for the sheet metal. We still go out and measure each antique model that we produce so it does challenge the mind a bit.
Some of the features include an opening hood, opening door, detailed interior and 3 point hitch with quick attach. As all of you know one of the features of the real tractor was “Crab steering”. To accomplish this, we had no choice but to tie the front wheels together and the rear wheels together with a long “tie rod”. It is hidden as best we could, but you can see it. The front and rear wheels are not tied together; they act independently so you can give the model a “crab steering” look.
You will notice that the steps are not included on the unit yet, these were separate parts not included on the images.
Disclaimer: Dalton Farm Toys released some images of the model last Friday when we had it at the National Farm Toy Museum for their board to review. The first unit is being made for the National Farm Toy Museum and Jason happens to be on the board so apparently his phone got the better of him. The images we are showing today are the first official release of images.
In closing, we hope you enjoy this model, it was a great model to design and produce. Happy collecting.
