Vintage Ertl John Deere 1953 Model D Tractor in 1:16 scale
This is the Vintage Ertl John Deere 1953 Model D Tractor in 1:16 scale
The 1953 John Deere Model D Tractor was a landmark in agricultural machinery, notable for being the final year of production for a model that had defined the brand’s identity since 1923. What set it apart was its massive two-cylinder horizontal engine, often called the “Johnny Popper” for its distinctive exhaust sound, and its rugged simplicity that made it a favorite among farmers for decades. The Model D was also the first John Deere tractor to use all-steel wheels, and by its final iteration in 1953, it featured improved styling and functionality while retaining the raw pulling power that made it a cornerstone of American farming.
This model is hand painted and polished to a beautiful finish and has a sealed body. These diecast
models are exceptionally accurate of scale, shape and detail. Interior detail is hand assembled and easily
visible. Photo etched parts, die-cutting, tampo printing and waterslide decals are often used for a most
authentic replication.
