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.
