I just wanted to say I was at Waconia this past weekend and on Sunday I put a bid in on a 1/16th scale 1973 JDX4...and I actually got it. I am not one of those people who like to keep things in the box because the value stays better so I pulled it out...OMG! The attention to detail on this thing is amazing
. The blitz black paint was flawless, the hood opened and revealed fuel lines going from the tank to the engine...which had the CCW and Maple leaf cast into the recoil! The track and snowflap were high quality rubber and rolled on functioning bogie wheels and even the tow hitch swings back and forth. The skis not only turn with the handlebars, but the shaft of the shocks slide in and out with the ski movement. I took it to work and looked at the warning stickers on the storage box on the cowl and the serial sticker on the tunnel...they were both legible. The greatest thing was it even came with a black snowmobile cover with elastic around the bottom. On the front it has "John Deere" in yellow, and the "JDX" and jumping Deere logos silk screened on each side... 
If you have the opportunity to get one of these beauties I would highly recommend it...and by all means, take it out of the box and enjoy the craftsmanship...you will not be disappointed.
