As Matchbox vehicles tend to be the same size but different scales this one looks quite large but the real one is quite small. More like a Bobcat or a large riding lawn mower.
Now sadly the tracks on this one has suffered from dry rot and are not intact but still displayable. Lucky replacement tracks are available.
The shovel on this one again depends on finger control although it will stick straight up. This is typical of the early models.
As the title says this was sold from 1962 through 1967 which is a fairly good run for a Matchbox model. There were no variations.
The last photo shows the color a bit better. But the details show up better on the other photos.
For next week a box will be featured so you won't want to miss that.
