3,500 built doesn't put it in the very rare category in my opinion,pretty nice but not $8,000 nice. |

Tyler, close enough for you to run over and get both and start an oddball collection. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Both are excellent tractors to own. The General is a bit overpriced IMO.

Now if we were talking about the very short period of time that Silver King tractors were called Plymouth tractors...that would in my opinion cross into the realm of rare! Interesting story about potential litigation with Walter E. Chrysler and the Plymouth name prompted the change to Silver King. They also changed from silver with blue trim to silver with red trim at the same time. I would like to own one of these tractors one day...I just think they are neat!!

I have one but it is the red version Avery. I also have a Silver King 42 with the single front wheel. plus three Gibsons, two Zetors and a Hefty G, make me enough of an oddball?

Oh jeez....that cut deep! Lol! Wait! The 100 is rated at 11 mph, but my B and G only 7 mph. Ha!  The (Cough) 8N (Cough) still wins at 15 mph, though!
