Thanks for bringing up the Allis Chalmers G tractor. Another very
good one. One of the biggest regional certified organic farms here has
about six of them. The running joke is that any ad for an Allis Chalmers G
will only last long enough for that farm owner to see it, and then he'll do
whatever it takes to buy it. There must be something to those tractors
that he'll go out of his way to scoop them up as often as they become
available.
Very interesting notion about converting the old gas tractors to
electric. I looked through that article to see if any other tractor types
were listed, but it was only the G. Is there some reason the G is more
suited to electric conversion, or would any older gas engine tractor be a decent
candidate? I've looked through various descriptions of converting other
gas engines to electric, for instance with old cars, but never a tractor.
Now that would be a real interesting wintertime project 'round here.......
