I got my set today. I really like them. They are an excellent set. But since Ertl forgot the duals I added some. ;D The 4850 and 4955 got duals from a 4440. They were actually just a tick bigger than the tires they came with. I like the way they look on them. The 4960 got a set made from its tires and the tires off of the 4955. I put the 4955 tires on the inside and the 4960s on the outside. The reason I did that is because the 60 rims had weights on them and I like the way they looked. Plus I mangled one of the rims on the 4955 getting it off. The 4955 was a real bugger to get the wheels off of. The other 2 weren't so bad. Here is the 4960. All three. I had to hurry and get them dualed up so I could get them hooked up to the planters. ;D

That 4960 looks good with the skinny tires actually. Looks really close to a beet tractor. Is there any differences between the 4850 and 4955? Look the same to me. Did ertl fix the giant drive shaft?

I think the 4955 and 4850 are the same casting. They all still have the giant driveshaft. They are pretty nice models though.

LOL He's still working on my 4755 JD with a Ertl 4455 rear end and the front end of a older 55 series tractor. i hope my JD dealership got them in. They better have. i want a set asap. or if i can. i will order from a very nice man i know. LOL
