Two Big Bud 747 Tractors – This picture is of me and my daughter Nicole next to one of two Big Bud 747 Tractors I built. This version has a white hood and silver exhaust stacks. The picture below this one shows the Big Bud version with the black hood and the black exhaust stacks. This is the scale I want to also build a Case-IH model and a John Deere model both articulating tractors of.
Nicole made the lettering for the hood on the Big Buds for me. (:>)
TWO SUNNY DAYS – We don’t get very many sunny days in Gaylord during the winter months but today and yesterday the sun was shining so nice into my workshop it felt like a spring day .
Cat 797F- I roughed in the engine and bolted it in the frame and worked on the exhaust pipes. It still looks good to get all the parts made this weekend. Then next week I will begin grinding, sanding, body work and priming
Have a great Thurs. !!!!!!!!!!
