Who turned off the heat?


Brrrrrrr. It is 22 below zero here in Havre, Montana. If it wasn't for all the excitement over at Big Bud headquarters today, you wouldn't get me out the door. However, it has been a unbelievable weekend and I've been surrounded by the pioneers of the 4WD tractor industry. The cold weather prevented several of the scheduled celebrities from attending but those that were there were: Doug Steiger, Big Bud Nelson, Bill McNabb (Wagner) and of course Ron Harmon, who orchestrated this wonderful get together to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Big Bud. I have lots of stories to tell but those will be shared in future issues of Heritage Iron. For now, I'll share a picture taken of Big Bud Nelson, the man for whom the tractor was named. It was an honor to be in his presence along with all of the rest.

Thank you Ron Harmon for getting everyone together and helping to preserve history. It's a weekend I won't soon forget.
