ERTL 300 Utility model

[300Randy]

My neighbor bought me a model of the 300U made by ERTL. We both own one and he gave it to me as a Christmas present. I was just suprized that every statistic on the box about the tractor was wrong. They had the years made wrong. Wrong HP, engine size, weight.
The model said torque amplifier on the side of the hood but didnt have one. Other then that it looks real good. Its the first tractor model that I own.
Just wondering if ERTL has got other IH tractor data wrong?

Just looked at the box from my 300u and it looks correct to me.

Is yours it the box that lists the 300 as the 3,000,000 tractor made and with the price tag of what it cost in 1955?

It listed the years from 1957 to 1959 for production. It had the weight at 3,000 lbs. I'll have to look at the box to see what the other stats where but they where all different then whats listed on tractor data .com.
