How much do you think I will have to spend to buy a usable G? Are cultivators hard to find for them? I hear they work real well in the garden for cultivating. They are neat too. Would be a good addition to my collection.

I have a wd and a C for sale. A wd to part out also. Hopefully I can get them all sold and have enough cash to buy a G. I think it is my best bet.

I finished cultivating 1/2 acre sweet corn today  and some pumpkins does a fine job.  I have 4 in our collection.   I would guess "G"s in general would sell for $3000 + or-

Thats about what I am seeing. I would like to find one cheaper if possible. I got to move some of these other tractors out of here. It is neat seeing all that orange as I come down the road though!

Two for sale here in Middle Tennessee for 2750 each. Both have cultivators, and one a plow.

That would work. Is there anything I need to look for on a G in particular? A guy at work says that the frame breaks on them. Is this true? Anything else I should look for?

Prices in New England for running G's are considerably higher than those TN prices! I'm not sure what you'd have to do to a G to break the frame - never heard that this was a problem.....one clue is that we don't read about that happening, different from the CA or D series popping out of 3rd gear which we hear about a lot.

Dave, the guy at work is a no it all. I really don't take a lot he has to say very seriously. I told him I never heard of that happening and he argues with me saying it happens all the time...

Figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

Ya, I know the type.  Best to just avoid them I've found.  I'd like to see these broken G's since "it happens all the time..."  What, you can't show me any?  then shut up!  
LOLOL!

You know, I sold the G for the life of the unit 48 - 55 and we never repeat never had a problem with the frame breaking.  Yeah we thought hard when we were pushing a plow in heavy duty sod but in my lifetime I have never heard of a G frame breaking or bending.
By the way in our neighborhood - Maryland - the G brings $ 3,000 and up.  In fact some are still being used.  They cannot find anything better to do the job.
Good Luck!

I stopped and talked to a farmer down the road. His Dad bought two G's new. He said ya can't beat them, and they are not for sale! 

I had a nice talk with him. They have mostly all Allis. He said they were five miles down the road from the local dealer. When they needed a tractor, they drove down, bought it and brought it home. His Dad most of loved them. They have three or four B/C/CA's, two G's, A D12, d14, d15, d17 and a D19. Some WD's.... Every time I go by there, I am craning my neck to see what else he has sitting around.

I am going to save up some cash and keep looking.

Hydraulics were an option on the G. So do as I was told get one with hydraulics.

If you would like, drive up and have a look at mine. No it's NOT for sale.

Glockhead,
 
     One did sell at auction in Hudsonville within the last couple months, if I remember right it was just over $4000 and had several attachments.

The little G's pop a drive axle once in a while, but never heard of a broken or bent frame. I've got 9 of them around here and will prolly start thinnin the herd at some point, just not yet. A G with good hand lift cultivators should bring $3K pretty easy.

All I want it for is to cultivate my small garden and to add to my little allis collection. I think hand lift would be OK. Less to break Lol... 

Norm, when I am ready I will keep you in mind. Your close to home too. Keep the fuel cost down some.

Brad, Let me know if you start selling. 

Thanks!
