It lists the large front tires as 23.1 x 30 R1, 10-ply.
Some more searching shows this:
23.1-30 Firestone Traction Field and Road Tractor Tire
Overall Width: 23.1 inches
Overall Diameter: 67.4 inches

That info could be a basis to figure the scale. Measure the width or diameter of the model front tires and calculate the scale from that. It should give a ballpark figure.
This was my exact plan. Great minds think alike...

Using tire data, I calculate the scale to be 1/30.

Looking good thank you for posting the pictures. I used to work for a farmer near Forest City Iowa that ran a Massey Fergusan 760. Just noticed your from Burlington. Glad to find a fellow Iowan on here. I'm in the AF now and move about but my home will always be Iowa.

Actually mjefson, I'm not a native Iowan. I've only lived here for almost 6 years now. I am and always will be a native Pennsylvanian. 😀

Finished this nice short project up this weekend.

Overall:
  • The card was too thick for some bends.
  • The diecutting was welcome.
  • The fit was very good (especially for a hand drawn model.
  • There were some tube gauges provided for the auger and discharge tubes which were a very useful addition.
  • The colors were vibrant and appropriate.
  • The tires were simplified and I found them unimpressive.
Anyway here are the remaining pictures of this seemingly rare model.
