Tested with 2-D batteries, Right button goes forward, Left button goes in reverse, bottom 2 buttons lift and lower loading shovel, when in forward or reverse, motor pistons go up and down and motor lights up. Steering wheel on remote turns tractor left or right. All mechanics work properly. Very clean battery compartment and tractor with almost no scratches. I will gladly answer any questions and send more pics at request. All comments ...are welcome positive and negative will be posted. I invite you to check out my other vintage items. Thanks
