I finally got around to opening up the mystery crate. Grandpa Dennis had come up from California for a visit, and we decided to tackle opening it up. I was glad to have his help - it was hard to get it open!

In for a penny, in for a pound... I guess once you have one tractor you just can't stop reading tractor forums and classifieds. I was cruising through the classifieds over at SSB Tractors when I came across an ad for a private party in PA selling a Allis-Chalmers Model G in good condition with implements. The Model G, as you can see above, is a very strange beast: it was especially made for cultivating, and thus the tractor was designed with the engine in the rear and the implements right in the operator's field of view in front of his or her feet. This way you get pin-point control of whatever you're doing, since it is right in front of your eyes. No twisting around to see what's going on behind you!
