This set consists of a re-badged 9523 Ford TW20 Tractor and 9536 Rear Mounted Digger. Blue tractor with pale grey cab roof. Black plastic exhaust, radiator grille and diver's seat. 'FORD 7710' labels on the engine cover. Steerable front axle with external linkage and chromed metal steering wheel. Driver in orange coat and trousers, and black boots. Removable unglazed Ford 'Q' cab. Black plastic rear implement linkage with pickup hitch and single silver lever on lefthand side. The wheels are pale grey with black tyres.
The digger, which attaches to the implement linkage, is blue diecast metal with orange plastic arm and bucket. The articulated arm is held in position by three 'hydraulic' rams. It has its own operator figure, in green coat and trousers and black boots, on a black plastic seat.
The tractor is in excellent condition. There some paint loss from the rim of the steering wheel where it has rubbed against the driver's hands, and a little rubbing on the edges of the weight box. There is very slight deterioration to the wheel rims. The digger has some damage to the bottom hydraulic cylinder - see photo - but is otherwise excellent. There is some paint loss from the operator's shoulder.
This set comes in a 'rainbow' window box which is in very good condition apart from the window itself, which is split and torn.
