72a Fordson Major, issued 1959, length 50mm, box types B-C and D.
72b Jeep, issued 1966, length 61mm, box types E and F.
A few variations on this model, I have only got these three.
Not many variations on this one, but am looking for the other shade of Yellow.

Here's a gray wheeled Fordson with the center hubs up front.

Greg, is the word "center" a typo or is there something special about the front hubs that I'm unaware of?

Hi George,
Best of luck on your operation.
Is this the shade variation you mentioned on the Jeep. Or is there another? Thought you might like the mrt f-box.
Thanks,
Jeff

JP, not a typo but nothing special either. I was simply attempting to point out that the model I posted had "Wheels/hubs" in the 'center' of "tires" while the previously pictured gray wheeled examples had solid gray plastic wheels up front. Does that make sense?

Aren't these the RW and SF standard body colours (i.e. the richer yellow model is a transitional)?
