There is a "brother" to that one out there also. It has the front half orange with a 4 cylinder engine and the back half is green with a hand clutch and a platform with brakes on either side.

Paul Dotterer was the AC dealer that has a buddy that was the JD dealer. I don't know the JD dealers name. They are near State Collage PA.
That is who built them. I met Paul back in the 70's when we worked the Penn state Ag Progress days. Great guy, They had the tractors at the GOTO in Florida last year.

The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

Because he could. Anybody can bolt/unbolt parts, that takes a little bit more. I bet they had fun doing it.

What I have always loved about those tractors, is if you look at the color scheme of the sign..... The Half Rite, has the "Rite" in Allis Orange, and the half Wrong sign has the "Wrong" in Deere Green. I am sure that was not accidental!!!

Dave...No doubt they had fun doing this. I can imagine the questions (and the harassment  ) they get! You 'half' to give them E for effort.

Well DUHHH...  That answer is incredibly obvious: In Half-Rite, there's a woman sitting in the left-hand position. That means, the guy driving is automatically wrong...  And SHE's right!  Any married guy, especially an old-tractor afficiando, farm-wrench worth his coveralls, an anyone who's read anything by Roger Welsch knows that answer. What does this have to do with tractors? Everybody give me a "YES, DEAR...." <Alice Dear....>

I always have the last word. "Yes, dear"
Would you sooner be happy, or right? And so it goes.

Just in case it was missed, he post was referring to the uniqueness of tractor.
