There is three new pieces of combine literature this
fall. The CaseIH AFX 8010, Challenger 660/670 and John Deere 60
series combines are all new for fall 2003. All of these combines a
big machines offering 300 bu. of capacity or more.
I will be set up in the Gym of the Highschool at this years National Toy
Show. I hope you will stop by and say hello. I will have
several files of literature for sale in addition to many of my custom
1/64 toys. Hope to see you at the show or the TTS dinner on
Saturday night November 8 at the country Junction Restaurant in
Dyersville, IA.
