| I enjoy scratch building and customizing 1/64 combines that I grew up with and that are used in my neighborhood. I have scratch built a Gleaner F and Massey Ferguson 510 combine. I have custom built a John Deere 9650 conventional combine, New Holland TR 99, CaseIH 2188 and International 1460. I enjoy sharing my projects and like building combines that have not been offered in 1/64 for my personal collection. |

Come on, 3 days to clear out a choked-up combine? Do combines really "overheat" anymore? But I'll watch it anyways.
