Went to see big bud in person at the heartland musuem in Clarion, Iowa and thought people might want to see just how massive it is.

Re: Big Bud
Nice! I was just in Omaha a few weeks ago. Didn't realize I was that close to a legend. (Well, I did get to see a Union Pacific "Big Boy" and a Centennial locomotive so that was nice) Should've taken a drive out there.
To be such a legendary tractor, it doesn't seem to be very well taken care of. Maybe they're in the process of a restoration but she seriously needs a fresh coat of paint.

FS22 is the best one yet. Fight me!
Re: Big Bud
Seems to be a costly tractor to house in a museum right now they are trying to get 2 of the tires fixed enough to put them back on.
Re: Big Bud
I can't imagine how hard it would be to fix those tires, especially on BB.

Re: Big Bud
If memory serves they were custom made one-of-a-kind tires made for that tractor when it was built in 78. Made in Canada somewhere. Looks like they pretty much wore them right out.... I thought I remember once reading on the Williams Bros. website about putting a second set of tires on it but I might be imagining. New tires now are probably more than the tractor is worth at this stage in her life

Re: Big Bud
i read something that the company who made the custom tires for it went out of business, that's when they decided to retire it and put it in a museum
Re: Big Bud
Did they make the museum around it? Lol.

Re: Big Bud
They probably have some big bay doors, does tuki24ia know since he went there
Re: Big Bud
I’ve seen a YouTube video (sorry but it was almost six months ago don’t know if I could find it again) where they drove it outta the museum through a bay door if someone wants to try finding that video it was made by a local news station which someone then uploaded to YouTube
Re: Big Bud
