Yup

From the article:

"As Clemons explained, the price of heavy farm equipment can be prohibitive for small farmers the world over, and maintenance demands are even more frustrating."

"The solution was to produce a tractor similar to the Allis Chalmers G, which was produced in Gadsden more than 60 years ago for the small farmer. At the same time, the company sought to design a tractor that would be easy to afford and fix. The Oggun's sales brochure proclaims that it can be maintained "in the field with nothing more than a wrench."

I have a “G”. It was my grandfathers, he used that thing daily. When he passed my father completely restored it and took it to shows and parades. Now that he’s passed I have it and it has sat for 10+ years. I would like to use it but don’t want to knock the shine off so it will sit.
