1955 Ferguson Model Description
Scale 1:16 Die-cast metal
Manufacturer: Universal Models.
This is a highly detailed model that shows a high degree of detail that collectors have come to expect from Universal Models. With a distinguished experience in producing tractors and other farm equipment, this model continues with another model of distinction.
From that distinctive grey Ferguson paintwork that just about every farmer past & present, that Ferguson grey represents one of the most famous brands out there and the astonishing thing that shows the quality, is the high numbers of these grey Ferguson tractors still working today.
This model also has the engine & transmission painted in the green colour distinguishing the Ferguson made in the USA. This paintwork as expected was in such a way as to still see small details that could have been covered by the paint applied.
The body work includes the covering of the fuel tank that can be opened and closed exactly as on the original tractor. With this panel opened, we can see in fine detail the fuel tank as well as the battery in detail. You can also see details of the engine.
This engine as seen on this model, shows this 4-cylinder engine in detail. Even fine details such as electrical wiring, spark plug cables and even the cables on the battery can be clearly seen. Other details like the spark plugs, distributor and even the rubber hoses for the radiator can be clearly seen. From the radiator through to the transmission, no detail has been left out.
Details in regards to the transmissions including the gear shift are detailed with small items such as foot pedals nicely done in great detail. The details continue to the rear drive with
even small items like bolts identifiable. The seat folds back to give you a better look not only at the transmission, but also the hydraulic controls for the hydraulic arms.
The instrument panel shows all the instruments including the hand throttle lever, but also shows the individual dial reading. Everything on this panel's instruments even includes the gears instructions. The steering wheels sizes and dimensions have been finely done and not chunky looking as on so many models.
The rear of the model shows the hydraulic arms in great detail down to the chains included with the PTO shown clearly. Tow bar hitch is right on as well. Lights both front and rear are very detailed. The rubber tires and rims set this model up.
The conclusion is this is a very detailed model of this tractor. Here Universal has outdone themselves, but since they have produced some of the most detailed tractor and farm machinery models, one could expect no less. Overall, this attention to detail makes this one of the most collectable models, after all it features one of the most loved tractor brands that is known all over the world. Would you want this in your collection? Yes. This is one model that even if you do not collect model tractors, would still get looks of admiration from your family and friends.
