First issued in 1978; in the Matchbox 75 line up, this model was the 5th version of a combine harvester casting issued by Matchbox over time.

This green painted version was issued in 2000; as the last version of its design, as #47 in the USA and Toy # 96334. In the ROW, it was #27 and Toy # 96255. Production occured in China. From other photographs the grain chute pivots 360 degrees and it appears the yellow thresher rotates when rolled.

Nice spot! I had also noticed that as well but these have the flat axle ends - where the image at Fandom shows the rounded hub as being used. They had also issued the 1st casting with the 4 spoke yellow painted hubs and the 2nd casting with rounded ends before changing over to these larger treaded rear tires and smaller smooth front ones.
