An Ertl 1:16 scale model of the John Deere 520 High Clearance SFW Tractor, presented in its original cardboard box. This special edition was produced for the Two-Cylinder Expo XII in 2002, held in Waterloo, Iowa, U.S.A. The front of the box features a full-color illustration of the green and yellow John Deere "520" tractor in a field setting, with "JOHN DEERE" and "520" visible on the tractor itself, and an artist's signature "Charles Freitag" at the bottom. The top surface of the box has a light green background adorned with a repeating floral or agricultural motif, and displays the event text. A side panel also presents the light green background with the repeating motif and features a block of descriptive text detailing the history of the John Deere Model "B" and "520" high-clearance tractors, noting its evolution from 1937, production until July 1956, and an estimated shipment of only about 40 units, primarily to California.
