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. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

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!!! ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

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. ------------- Joe's 1939 Model WC, 1940 Model RC, 1944 & 1950 Model C's, B-125 PU |

Yea, I wonder what is more fun, Building them or all the attention they get at shows? ------------- The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend? |

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. ------------- Joe's 1939 Model WC, 1940 Model RC, 1944 & 1950 Model C's, B-125 PU |
