Yet another strange vehicle from the Lesney company in the 1970s, this is a hot-rod farm tractor with a V8 engine, fat tyres and a chopper seat, if you look at the engine it has 'Cobra' cast into the rocker covers. Wild.
The Mod Tractor was added to the 1-75 range in 1972. Up to 1978 it was made in metallic purple, from 1976 to 1979 it was also made in red. the red one always has a yellow seat and a black base. The metallic purple one can have a red or a yellow seat and can have lights cast into the rear mudguards or not and the base can be black or unpainted.
The one to look for is the metallic purple release with a red seat, next best is metallic purple with a yellow seat and lights cast into the rear mudguards. The remaining versions are all of a similar, fairly low, value.
