This model on display at the 2011 East Coast Meet in Springfield, Massachusetts was built by Dennis Raper about I5-I7 years ago. As Dennis puts it, "Before I'd ever heard of styrene or Dennis Aust tires and wheels!" It began as a 97 cent toy front end loader that he converted into a 643D John Deere feller-buncher.The toy is die-cast and Dennis used wood, cardstock, a dime coin for a cutting head, and Micro-Machine tires and wheels. Very creative and it was great to have it on display in Springfield.
