My favorite models are not toys. The Case 960 Combine and FORD 640 are my
 favorites. Our neighbor used to give me rides on his 960 in the late
 1970's. I always enjoyed it when he would let me ride along. It was fun
 watching the wooden bats whirl around gathering the grain and all the
 grass hoppers pouring in with the grain in the tank behind the cab. The
 farm next to him would often help with their FORD 640. Case stopped making
 combines in 1972 and Ford imported Claas combines and painted them blue
 for only a short time in the mid-1970's. Back then most farms were one color
 from the plow to the combine. I was glad when Ertl released the John
 Deere 95 and IH combines. I hope they will follow with Case and Ford
 models someday.
