My grandson's new toy...

[oldcarguy]

My grandson that works with me over the past ten years was infected with my defective gene alright. He's the one who helped rebuild the two Chevy 454 boat engines. And we did the body work on his red Ford F150 that I posted on the sight. Along with numerous other projects..
 
 He showed up at my place yesterday with a new toy. A 1968 Ten HP Allis Chalmers B110 yard tractor. He needed to make a bracket for the three-point hitch. That would adapt to a rake.. Simple enough. Two pieces of 18” long bar stock welded to a piece of angle iron. And a few holes drilled. Along with a piece of chain. And an adapter to the tractor's manual lifting Mechanism. I had the two clevis pins and 3/4” bolt for the 2” receiver.. Couple hour job is all.. We had dinner first...

My grandad bought one of these brand new in the early 70's. He was nun to happy when my dad and uncle took it to the county fair and filled it full of aviation gas and removed the governor and entered it into the lawn and garden tractor pull. Somewhere there is a picture of dad pulling it with the front wheels about 24" off the ground.

Boy I'll bet she ran to beat hell for one or two runs anyway. Not sure how pretty things would have been on the backside of that deal though!

LOL, that explains 🤣 why he did that! He didn't own it!

Actually still to this day it sits in my uncles barn and mows grass around the house and under trees. Original block is still powering it as well, the little thing just wont die.
