Is the gem you had been missing the open step Claas Combine?
Congratulations on filling the gap!

Enjoy!

Happy hunting!

Kurt, if Brad fills the gap he won't have a rare one any more!!!!!!!
Orange horse box at rear of the top photo.
The blue tractor that is really an orange one in the second photo plus the combine harvester.
I like the Douglas truck in the last photo and may be the wheels on the red tanker at the front of the photo are a bit different to usual.

Perhaps the combine has a base without the hole
Which I know Dan was looking for.

Even with the hole in it's base, the open step ladder on the Harvester makes that model quite rare Dan. Nice work! I used to get a lot of very expensive sneakers from a buddy who wore down only the toes by playing tennis with them. I am now guilty of wearing cheap $20 sneakers in order to pay for more Toys. I agree with your Birthday present decision, Toys are much more fun! ;) kwakers
