My Danbury Mint 8N tractor arrived today. They did a wonderful job in all but one respect - the front bumper is cheap plastic and is easily knocked off. With the bumper off the grill tilts down to expose the radiator. The gas door opens, as does the toolbox inside. Steering is not perfect, but more than adequate ( a little more left turn than right ) The quadrant raises and lowers the lift arms, there are actual lynch pins to retain the drawbar, the toplink pin is removeable, there are stay chains, and the seat even flips up. There is gas colored paint on the sedimant bowl, little decals where they should be, and all manner of things I would not have expected - the manifold even looks burnt & rusted.
It comes with PTO cover, a wrench to remove the rears, and a fairly meaningless title.
A lot of money for a toy tractor I'll admit, but I've paid more for other things I just look at and dust now and then. BTW I believe Jim UT pointed out that his Danbury cars are made in China - the 8N is as well. While checking to see that the oil drains were correct in number and placement (and they are)I found the Made in China.. I'm not going to worry about that they did a good job.

Sorry Fargo - haven't seen it but I would be surprised if it wasn'y every bit as good. Order to delivery was about 2 weeks - much faster than the sales rep projected.

I'll do that later today, but here is a link to the original posting I saw with the advertising pics. This is what inspired my purchase.
