I have a chance to buy this "Blue G" for $1500. Good tires, runs good, 3 spd, dual range tranny, IH engine....what ya think, is it worth it?

I don't think the Tuff-Built and other copies of the Allis G have the same value as the real thing although some of them are more user friendly as far as hydraulics and attatchments. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

| The price is right if you can use it in your operation. I think I would consider it if my operation was like yours. |

I'd sure go for it. We could use another G here but don't want to spend $4,000 or so for one.

| Let me no how you like operating it, there are two of them close to me. One of them have a three point on the front and back. That would be neat to put a sprayer on the front, because I used liquid fertilizer. |
