They are pretty cool. They were originally built out in Montana. For the time period of back in the 70's this was a big tractor with 525 hp. The largest one they ever built is on display down in IA and has a v16 detroit in it pushing like 1100hp. Pretty crazy!
Wow, very interesting, Troy. 2-stroke diesels in those?
The big one is a 2 stroke. Not sure what motor was in the one I saw today. I will have to check it out. He is a good customer of mine so I am going to run out there sometime on my day off and check it out closer. My son loves those Big Bud tractors so he will be excited to go with and check it out sometime.
Was out on a service call this morning and he had this in his shop. Don't see too many Big Bud's these days. He doesn't use it much anymore. Said he hasn't started it in three years but hoping to get it fired up this winter sometime he said.

I think the normal Big Bud tractors had an 18.8L Cummins 6 cylinder engine in them. I haven't seen one of those Big Bud tractors in years.
Spent most of last evening either in the attic or on a ladder in the garage getting a cable run for the TV and then boxes and wiring for a couple ceiling fans. That would have been a LOT easier before insulation....
Surprisingly not overly itchy but I did use a dust mask and disposable gloves. And showered right away when I was done. But yeah, nice to get that done. I still need to run more electrical at some point but no hurry now on the rest.
