Work is dead for me today so I have spent up to now looking through nearly every modelshop in europe and the US looking for one but no joy! They are like hen's teeth! A lot of websites list them but show them out of stock. Why don't they take them off?

Seen some nice models on my journey though ;)

Just been looking and if you had to admit defeat the ERTL John Deere 450 is identical. It would be a nice project to strip it, paint it and do a nice custom?
