I used to have one of those! Don't know where it went though. I've found a couple of the big dump trucks, a dozer, and a wheeled hoe for the kids. Just need to find a wheel loader and they will excavate the whole gravel driveway in the spring...
 
They were originally made about 8 miles from me along the shore of Lake Minnetonka-if anyone wondered where the name came from.

Pretty interesting fact. I've always wondered this myself.
