John Deere 8300T Crawler Tractor - By Wayne Calder


This John Deere tracked agricultural tractor was built by club Wayne Calder using a Matchbox Caterpillar crawler and an Ertl John Deere wheeled tractor. Wayne combined the body and cab of the John Deere with the undercarriage of the Caterpillar to make this very unique and prototypically correct 1/87 model. Wayne painted the Matchbox grain trailer genuine John Deere green to match his tractor. Displayed at the 2000 East Coast Meet.
