HERE I AM OFFERING MY VERY, VERY RARE, ANTIQUE, 100% OPERATIONAL & ORIGINAL, TETHERED REMOTE CONTROL, FULLY TIN, CRAGSTAN 1:10 SCALE, FORD MODEL 4040 DIESEL TRACTOR WHICH IS STILL IN IT\'S ORIGINAL FACTORY BOX!LUIOBFW = LIGHTLY USED IN ORIGINAL BOX FULLY WORKING.I HAVE HAD THIS STASHED AWAY WITH A FEW HUNDRED (TO THOUSANDS) OR SO ADDITIONAL MODELS THAT I HAVE COLLECTED OVER THE PAST 5 DECADES OR SO. I HAVE OWNED THIS FORD TRACTOR SINCE ACQUIRING THIS FROM MY UNCLE WELL OVER A DECADE AGO. PRIOR TO THIS, IT WAS STORED IN MY UNCLES BASEMENT FOR AROUND 3 DECADES. AND FROM THERE IT WAS IN HIS RETAIL STORE AS ONCE HE WAS A HEAVY MACHINE OPERATOR AND STORE OWNER.HAVING HUNDREDS OF MODEL CARS TO CHOOSE FROM, MOSTLY PORSCHE AND CORVETTES, I HAVE DECIDED TO START LISTING SOME OF THESE HERE ON . 95% OF THESE ARE ONE-OF-A-KINDS LISTINGS AND I WILL DO MY BEST TO SHOW YOU AN ARRAY OF PICTURES AND DESCRIBE THEM TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY. THIS RARE, COMPLETE AND WORKING FORD 4040 DIESEL TRACTOR IS NO EXCEPTION TO THIS RULE! THE CRAGSTAN FORD TRACTOR IS 100% COMPLETE AND ORIGINAL! HERE\'S WHAT YOU GET AND HERE\'S WHAT IT DOES...THE TRACTOR ITSELF IS A THING OF BEAUTY! THE METAL BODY HAS NO APPARENT DINGS OR DIMPLES. NO RUST IS PRESENT ANYWHERE. IT IS FULLY TIN EXCEPT FOR THE SOFT AND PLIABLE TIRES AND PLASTIC STEERING WHEEL (ON THE TRACTOR). YOU WILL UPON CLOSE INSPECTION SEE SOME TINY TRACES OF USAGE, THIS MUST BE EXPECTED, BUT, TRUST ME... THE PICTURES BLOW UP ALL OF THE IMPERFECTIONS AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THEM.... I THINK YOU\'LL AGREE THAT THE OVERALL CONDITION IS NOT TOO SHABBY AND WORTHY OF ANYBODYS SHOWCASE!! THE SEAT AND REAR FENDERS ARE MADE OF TIN AND ARE STILL FACTORY ATTACHED.THE REAR BACKHOE ATTACHES BY GRAVITY AND SIMPLY DROPS ONTO A SMALL POST. TO OPERATE THIS YOU HAVE TO CRANK THE SMALL HANDLE A TOP OF THE BASE WHICH IS LOCATED DIRECTLY BEHIND THE DRIVERS SEAT. AS WITH THE REAL MACHINE, THIS IS OPTIONAL AND ATTACHES/DETACHES IN ABOUT 1.1 SECONDS, UNLIKE THE REAL MACHINE! THIS SECTION LOOKS UNUSED ... REALLY THE WHOLE SET-UP LOOKS UNUSED! THE FRONT BUCKET IS SOMETHING TO MARVEL AT! AS YOU PUSH ONE OF THE TWO LOWER BUTTONS (CLOSET TO THE STEERING WHEEL) THE FRONT SCOOP/BUCKET WILL LIFT AND WHEN IT STARTS TO REACH IT\'S PEAK, THE BUCKET WILL START TO STRAIGHTEN OUT ... SO AS TO DUMP IT\'S LOAD! THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED BY THE SMALL CHAIN YOU SEE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE TRACTOR. EVEN THOUGH IT LOOKS LIKE THE HYDROLIC PUMPS ARE DOING ALL THE WORK, THEY ARE FOR LOOKS ONLY. THIS DRIVE IS ON A MECHANISM WHICH WILL CONTINUE WITH EITHER BUTTON, BUT, ONCE IT STARTS UP, THE OTHER BUTTON OPPOSITE IT WILL BRING IT BACK DOWN AND VICE-VERSE. IT\'S A CONTINUOUS FLOW OR LOOP, IF YOU CONTINUOUSLY HOLD ONE BUTTON IT WILL GO UP AND DOWN AND UP AND DOWN! TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THE BUCKET..... REAL SWEET AIN\'T IT!THE STEERING IS 100% ORIGINAL AND HAS NEVER BEEN TOUCHED AS IT WAS NEVER NEEDED. IT TURNS WITH EASE AND WHEN YOU RELEASE THE STEERING WHEEL ON THE REMOTE CONTROL, THE STEERING SNAPS BACK AS THERE IS A SPRING ON THE TRACTOR WHICH PULLS THIS BACK AS DESIGNED. THIS IS WHY YOU ALWAYS SEE THE WHEELS TURNING TO ONE SIDE.THE TOP TWO BUTTONS ON THE REMOTE CONTROL, CONTROL THE FORWARD AND REVERSE DIRECTION OF THIS TRACTOR. THE TRACTOR HAS A GOOD CLIP TO IT AND HAS A VERY STRONG MOTOR! WHEN EITHER ONE OF THESE TOP BUTTONS ARE PUSHED, NOT ONLY DOES THE TRACTOR MOVE, BUT THE ENGINE LIGHTS UP INTERNALLY (AS PICTURED) AND YOU CAN SEE THE PISTONS MOVE FROM WITHIN THE ENGINE BLOCK!! HOW COOL IS THIS FOR A EARLY \'70\'S TOY!THE CHASSIS IS LIKE NEW WITH NO SCRATCHES OR IMPERFECTIONS SEEN.THE WHEELS ARE A SOFT AND STILL PLIABLE RUBBER. THE REAR TIRES ARE HOLLOW AND LOOKS LIKE THEY CAN EVEN BE PULLED OFF (THIS I DID NOT EVEN ATTEMPT). THE FRONT HUB CAPS ARE STILL FACTORY ATTACHED. THERE ARE NO SPLITS, CRACKS OR DRY ROT ON ANY OF THE TIRES. THE REMOTE CONTROL IS ONE OF THE NICEST THAT I HAVE HELD. IT IS CLEAN, SHINY, HAS NO RUST OR CORROSION. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE INNERS TO SHOW YOU THIS, EVEN ALL OF THE ORIGINAL SOLDERING IS PRESENT AS IS THE BATTERY PLACEMENT SHEET. THIS HOLDS TWO \"D\" BATTERIES WITH NO ISSUES AND CLICKS TIGHTLY CLOSED. HELL EVEN THE ORIGINAL TETHERED CABLE HAS NOT A SINGLE CRACK OR SPLIT TO BE FOUND ON IT!!I HAVE BEEN WATCHING FOR YEARS NOW AND AS A T~RATED GOLD R/SELLER IN MY OTHER STORE, I ALWAYS LOOK TO SEE WHO HAS WHAT AND AT WHAT PRICE. I HAVE SEEN A FEW 4000 TRACTORS, BUT, ONLY 1 4040 LIKE THIS ONE AND THAT WAS IN NEED OF SOME SERIOUS HELP!THE BOX IS IN VERY GOOD TO EXCELLENT CONDITION, CONSIDERING IT\'S AGE! YOU WILL SEE THAT A SMALL TEAR IS LOCATED ON THE TOP OF THE LID AS SOMETHING WAS ONCE PLACED ON TOP OF THE BOX AND THE TRACTOR MADE IT\'S MARK. THE EDGES ARE TORN IN A FEW SECTIONS FROM AGE AND WEAR, NO TAPE HAS BEEN APPLIED TO THIS BOX AT ALL. THE COLOR AND GRAPHICS ARE STILL COLORFUL AND CLEAR. THE BASE AND INSERT ARE IN BETTER SHAPE WITH VERY LITTLE SIGNS OF WEAR.I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE. I TEST EVERYTHING PRIOR TO LISTING THEM AND ONCE AGAIN PRIOR TO SENDING THEM OFF. I DO THIS SO WE WILL BOTH BE VERY HAPPY WITH THE END RESULT, IT\'S THE ONLY WAY I DO THINGS! THIS CRAGSTAN 4040 FORD TRACTOR WILL NOT NEED TO BE RE-TESTED AS I DO KNOW IT\'S WHOLE LIFE\'S HISTORY AND I AM 100% SURE THAT YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD TO ADD THIS COMPLETE AND FUNCTIONING TRACTOR TO YOUR OWN COLLECTION.
