![]() Today's car of the day comes from corvairjim's collection, and is Matchbox's 1977 Massey Ferguson Combine Harvester. ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures of the real car please visit: Combine Harvester ![]() This Matchbox model is an unlicensed combine harvester. After asking around, the brand Massey Harris (turned Massey Ferguson in 1958) was mentioned as a close match, especially in this color scheme. So take the model identification with a grain of salt, but the "combine harvester" identification is spot-on. ![]()

Ah, that's what it is. It was always a simple generic to me. I have its older brother, the Claas. Kinda weird that it was red and yellow, but the King Size version was the proper green and red. This on the other hand, is the right colors, other than the fact that the yellow parts are red on the real one. I know this model lasted into the early '00s. Other than the Pony Trailer that was recently reintroduced, what is the longest lasting Regular Wheel model? Edited by cody6268, May 21 2018, 06:37 PM.

Combine of the Day...I can easily relate to that as they are very common in my area. Even been known to find one parked on Main St. at the metal fabrication shop we have in town. This one is probably more generic than Massey but a nice little piece with lots of play value for young farmers - moving reel and grain spout. Where I lived in eastern Washington, Massey's were a common choice in the '50's and '60's and then Gleaner's (Allis Chalmers) tended to claim the bulk of the market. Here are two of mine - at one time I also had the yellow, green and blue versions but sent them to other farms. ![]() And the original regular wheel Combine ![]() And one of my favorites - the Major Pack Massey

I'll say! I never knew there were so many different Matchbox combines out there. I had one as a kid, but didn't realize it was a completely different casting from my "new" one. With the basic description on the base plate instead of a manufacturer, I assumed that it was a generic model, but now I know that it approximates a Massey Ferguson. I like to learn something new every day - I just learned something. |
