"Gas Tank Furniture" Brings Back Childhood Memories

Gas Tank Furniture Brings Back Childhood Memories AG WORLD Butch Soehnlen got a big surprise when he opened a large box last Christmas – a piece of unique “gas tank furniture” made from a fuel tank off an old Allis Chalmers WC tractor But this was no ordinary gas tank – it was from his dad’s first tractor “It was a very early WC probably a 1934 to 1937 model ” says Soehnlen “I remember riding on a grain drill behind it and also helping my dad mow hay with it There’s still a dent on the side of the tank where I hit it with the crank when it refused to start I was only 8 or 9 years old “My brother found the gas tank in some bushes He and a friend of ours took the tank home and did a nice job of turning it into a beautiful piece of furniture The tank is bolted on top of a 4-legged metal stand that rides on caster wheels and has a large wooden storage shelf near the bottom and large Allis Chalmers decals It’ll make a nice addition to my game room ” says Soehnlen Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Butch Soehnlen 10323 Soehnlen Rd N W Beach City Ohio 44608 ph 330 756-2055
