Working 1/2 Scale Model of Allis Chalmer Tractor

Working 1/2 Scale Model of Allis Chalmer Tractor TRACTORS New Tractors 20-6-36 I always admired the simple design of the Allis Chalmers "G" tractor because implements hitched underneath the front end for excellent visibility. Approximately 10,000 were built between 1947 and 1952. I built a working 1/2-scale model to use for cultivating the garden, raking hay and plowing snow. It's powered by an 8 hp Briggs and Stratton motor coupled with a Foote 3-speed transmission. It's fitted with 12 by 5-in. rear tires and 10 by 4-in. front tires. I used a worm off an old hospital bed for the steering gear. I added a rollbar and 5 1/2-ft. high canopy for increased safety and comfort. I'll make plans available if there's interest. (Stuart S.
