I had to study the fourth one down for awhile to understand just what was going on! ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

Here's one I built in 1963.
6 HP Wisconsin engine.
'47 Plymouth rearend (narrowed).
'38 Chevy transmission.
'49 Ford steering box.
Seat off an old hay rake.
And........in keeping with the Allis-Chalmers
theme; a model B steering wheel.
I built a snow plow, adapted a turning plow, built a set of
cultivators but never had a lawn mower; not enuf belly clearance.
I still have it sans the engine. I intend to put an 8 HP Briggs on
it and get her going again.

Richard, it looks like that 4th one down had been sitting for at least a week or two before you got it. LOL! Course, those could be Chinaberry trees. Those things grow pretty fast. Sooo, can you tell us what the deal was with the tandemed Farmalls(look like old F-series anyways)is? Were they using both engines to drive the wheels, or did they have them split to run a PTO with one, and wheels with other?
That last one looks kinda similar to a Gravely Super-Convertible. I'd just like to come up some day and walk around. Bet i'd need a box of Kleenex to wipe off all the drool!LOL! ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |

Brian, you ought to post a few pics of that tractor today. Looks like you're a pretty creative guy. ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |
