Had an unusual Allis 'U' come in to the shop yesterday. Customer says he was told this was a factory cab. The tractor hasn't run for a while but was supposed to run OK when it was parked a couple of years ago. I'm supposed to get it running well and do a cosmetic restoration on the cab and sheet metal. Looks like it will be a fun project!!  |

| Seen one with a cab at Hutch one year and I think it had solid rubber tires and was used originally at the AC plant to push rail cars. |

TimNH, that tag has a name, "Lloyd Vigar" on it, but i don't know if it was the builder or who it was made for. I have seen pictures of the one that was at Hutch and that cab is much more rounded, but it does have a very similar rear entrance door.
