1/64 Big Buds part 3
In this months article I will wrap up the 1/64 Big Bud variations by looking at the late model series which includes the 370, 440 & 500
There are not a lot of different variations or models that were produced in this series.
The first one offered was a 440 which came with triples and a black motor.
The second one in the series was a 370 that came with duals and a black motor.
The third tractor in the series is the hardest one to find which is a 370 Bafus Blue w/ triples that has turquoise decals.
The last tractor in the series was a model 500 that came with duals and a silver engine.
I have also found a mistake version which has a sliver engine but has 370 decals. This is the only one like it I have found.
In 1994 there was also a show tractor made in the series. It was a 440 with triples and came with lights on the fenders. It was made for the KFYR toy show.
In 2003 Toy Farmer released the largest Big Bud of all in 1/64. Die-Cast Promotions produced two models of the Big Bud 16V-747.
The first Big Bud 16V-747 is known as the "Factory Version". This is a replica of the tractor as it looked in 1978 when it rolled out of Big Bud. It was rated at 760 hp and was the worlds largest tractor.
The second version of the 16V-747 is the "Modern Version". This model represents the 16V-747 after it was rebuilt and increased to 900 hp. The Williams Brothers own the tractor and farm with it in Big Sandy, Montana.
