>>>Our small Model G Allis-Chalmers is also a 1947 model.<<<
I can not figure out why nobody makes any piece of equipment as appropriate as that tractor is for small acreage. I know, 1 bottom plow, etc. etc. but for cultivating and many other tasks, it is hard to beat... Plus it just looks neat...
When my better half bought this tractor many years ago (against my advice),he had to cut several small trees which had grown up between the wheels in order to move it. That’s how long it had been abandoned.He brought it home. Took it completely apart, cleaned everything and painted it the original Allis-Chalmers colors. Now it is his pride and joy and it does serve us well, plowing old, already tilled ground and the frame is high enough that we can cultivate until the crop is quite high. Biggest problem is that there is no hydraulic lift for any of the equipment and as hubby has two shoulder replacements, I have to go to each end of the row and operate the lever lifting the plow, cultivators or whatever. We make quite a team. Takes two of us to do half the work of one.
