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.

>>>Biggest problem is that there is no hydraulic lift for any of the equipment<<<

I was thinking that somewhere I saw a hydraulic add on for them... I know, just what you wanted to hear...

Well, he could mount a tractor seat up front on the front axle, that way you could ride to the other end... LOL

Togetherness is such a wonderful thing... ;^)
