I drove through Wisconsin for the first time last year and it was fun seeing all the silos and large red barns. Out here we don't have as many large farms as we do hutterites and they always can offer top dollar for land. Big Buds are great tractors and we hope to keep them running for years to come!

Welker Farms Inc I had talked to someone who took there injectors and increased the pop off pressure and got better fuel economy because it had better atomization I forget the amount he increased it though I'm thinking it was either 20 or 50 psi it comes down to complete burn of the fuel and getting a bigger bang out of combustion oh he also raised the compression ratio a couple psi.
@eathenm15608 жыл бұрын
Increasing the pop off pressure that much wouldn't do a whole lot, also you don't raise the compression by psi. You change the ratio from say 10:1 to 11:1 etc. and the cylinder pressure increases.

What an amazing restoration. I remember the first time i watched this and i was very excited to see this old girl in her full glory. I wish i could hop in and get a feel for what it's like to operate such a special machine. The old Buds are very rare nowadays so keep them running for as long as the world's spinning. I'm currently testing the Series 1 mod for Farming Simulator 22 and it's awesome to say the least. It has three versions of the little Bud (HN series 1, KT series 1 and your N14-435). However there's one thing that bothers me. The N14 version has the incorrect transmission (it has the original 12-speed but if i remember yours has a 13-speed Fuller). But nevertheless i still love it and i'm gonna be using it on the Welker farms map along with the other Buds (and i'll have the mighty 747 aswell since it's a legend). Don't let the haters get to ya and i'll see ya next time.

@WelkerFarms10 жыл бұрын
Yes we do too! I think you're right, most 525/50's are still running. Their twin disc transmission would be the only thing that might stop them if parts grow scarce but otherwise they are well built. We've found we like the second generation buds the best but have yet to try a 4th. That's too bad about that 360 being in bad shape, probably reflected in the price as well. Maybe that price will drop a little more and make it worth being a fixer upper!

As for that dog, he gets scolded every time he gets near moving equipment but it never sinks in. To this day we've never ran over a farm dog and I pray we never do!

Glad to see 18 wheeler components used. I was lucky to begin driving trucks at the tail end of the Mechanical/Injection era.. Begining of Electronic Fuel injection Era. I therefore saw and used the best, final iteration of 14 Liter mechanical fuel injection.. which I am a proponent of this day. In the early 90's I could buy an entire In Frame overhaul kit for a Cummins Big Cam IV or Cat 3406 B for the price of 6 Electronic Fuel injectors for an N-14 electronic or Cat 3406E. .. $3500. By using proper fuel pump timing advance techniques on the Mechanical injected engines I've seen consistent 7mpg results with plus 35 to 50hp on OTR trucks for the Big Cam 3/4 and 3406B... Something many Electronic Injected engines.. supposedly better/more fuel effecient.. could not achieve. I preach Mechanical Injected/Dialed in Fuel Pump Timing to all who will listen... and save those who listen often 10's of thousands of dollars. It's not uncommon for an Electronic Injected Engine to go through 3 or 4 sets of Electronic Injectors in 1 Million Miles.. at old $3500/per set prices $10,500 to $14,000.

Very cool you gotta spend some time around them. We own 3, the one pulling the grain cart is from our friends Wanken Farms who were passing through while I was filming. They are great tractors and if taken care of they keep running and running. I believe the years are; N-14 435 is 1972, KT-450 1979, and 525/50 1979. Those last two were manufactured in the same year but were completely different frames.

I wonder if I have any pictures. Now I'll have to dig through my old pictures. LOL Looks like you got a great operation there in Big Sky Country. Best wishes for a great 2017 to you and yours.

do I understand correctly? There's no serial tractor? You collect it on the basis of some older tractor or special equipment?
@WelkerFarms8 жыл бұрын
Serial tractor? I'm not sure I'm following you. We have owned this tractor since it was new on the factory floor. Big Bud went out of business years ago but we still run their tractors as they are great machines!
