    Paint scheme?

    I'm thinking M-F red and grey! My grandsons would love to ride in one of those!

    My 3 year old is a gearhead wannabe! Check out the intensity!

    That is some real heavy thinking going on with that screwdriver. He could most likely put one of them wagons together all by his self.

    I had went down today and picked out the Allis-Chalmers Orange and painted the rear wheel rims that will be use at first, I have yet to get the graphics, nut ahhh MF red and gray could change my mind I think.

    I was going to build a frame for this one but found that one on ebay from a guy in Tyler. It kind of changed all my plans for it. I had started to build a little pickup bed out of a 50 cal ammo box I had that someone took the lid to.

    Thanks Ken for sharing Grandson with us.

    Allis Chalmers and MF Tractor

    Hey there Charles, thanks fore sharing the photos of your puller wagons and the tractors. The MF and the AC you have what year are they produced ?
    Remember my wifes father had a 50 . MF diesel tractor with belts on it. Starting whas done by pushing the gear lever in foreward position ! We changed the starter function to a normal ignition key starter. Revolutionary fore those using the tractor in difficult terrain. They call them "grey noze" up here. Many farmers still love them when using fore light jobs . MF , David Brown , Intenational and later Case IH , Ford and Fiat where the first mass produced tractors sold after world war 2 here in Norway.

    Martinius.

    Martinius,

    The tractors I've shown are a 1941 9N ford (red and silver gray) and a 1936 massey harris challenger (green), I do not have an ac but do have an mf 135.
    The wagon I've bought ac color to paint it, but may change it as Ken thought it would look good in mf colors of gray and red.
    My other half wants the rims red and do not fix anything else. I still want to fix a frame as I had started to do and but I need another tub to work with.
    We took this one to the swap meet today and the front tires make the wagon so heavy to pull and the handle is way way to damn short to be comfortable to pull and enjoy one's walk. So there are some modifications I'm going to make before I choose if the wagon gets massey colors or stays rusty bucket.

    Charles

    Ken,
    That is a seen which hardly ever happens anymore the older time days were so much fun. Thanks for sharing the photo. I got int the older steel cars and trucks when Virginia's two youngest grandsons were born so when they came over to our place they could play with the old truck,car and tractor toys and not worry about hurting the toys. After they fell on the steel toys thinking they were like the plastic crap they seem to have more fun.
