I've recently received from pre-production samples of the 1/64th Big Bud models that will be coming out this Summer. Most of you already know that we tooled an cab interior for these units, and put some different tires on these models vs. what has been done in the past. Let's talk about the 440 model first. We added a "Williams Brothers" graphic under the left side cab door and also replicated one of their real tractors by giving this unit a silver engine. For the 500 model, we added in "Power Shift" wording on the decal striping. There will also be a limited plated models of both units available. I note that these are already for sale on Van Kley's website. The real Big Bud 747 is also making news. It is now in Indenpendence, IA, which is just 40 miles from Dyersville. I don't think too many farmers around here need that much horsepower, but as they say, "There is no replacement for displacement!!""
