Plastic Ertl IH 50 series pedal tractor and wagon

Today at an antique car show I found a plastic IH 50 series pedal tractor with wagon new, in the box and unassembled. It looks to be all there and the box is decent, just some fading. I can't find another one on Ebay or even an image or mention of one elsewhere. I was going to put it together for my daughter to play with and ride up and down the barn floor on when she gets a little bigger. The bonus to me is it's IH and looks "just like daddies" 5088. I'm just wondering though, are these super rare? I can't believe there are a lot around because the 50 series was only made a few years. Is this something I should leave in the box and sell when she's college age to pay a couple years tuition or should I let her play with it? :) Just wondered if there is anyone out there with one and what everyone thinks I should do with it. Thanks!

I would say there was quite a few made. But they are made of plastic and many of them did not make it so it might make them harder to come by. I bought a 1206 pedal tractor and before I had it out of the box the price doubled. I did not even flinch assembling it and letting my little one ride it. The fun they have on it is priceless.

Finally found one here:

Bottom left. A LOT more than I paid for mine. I love that 2+2 ride on, never seen one before.

Nate, you have a good point. My Super MTA pedal tractor is for display only, although she's trying to climb on it at 14 months already. I'll let her ride my old 1066 sometime, but I probably will put the plastic one together. Part of me feels like I'd be ruining a piece of IH history but I gotta get her hooked on RED somehow and there's only so much room to store things!

I've got the 2+2 ride on toy. Its rather faded and needs new decals.

I got one of those too,also have either a 66series pedal or 86. Think its a 66 has a red seat.
