If it was a 1946, it would have to be a prototype since the first G's were sold in 1948. I would like to see what is considered an Orchard model though.

With Pop we sold them for the life of the unit. I do not remember an Orchard Model being made. Also, I completely agree with Charlie. The G was not introduced till 1948. In fact, I remember going to the introductory meeting with my father in 1948.
Let's see what they have. Would love to see pictures.
Good Luck!

PS: I was thinking that the G was so adaptable that one could easily put the orchard
adapters on them.

Here's the auction I found...
Other than the plow, it looks like a normal Model G to me.
Best regards,
Scott

That's a good looking G !!!! Some good looking rifles, too ! I've been looking for a single shot .22 for a cousin but they seem to be scarce around here. That's a bit far to go to.

Scott, thanks for posting that, I had missed the pictures. It appears that the G has been repainted, or used very little. And I wonder how they class it as an Orchard tractor ?

Dusty,
Sometimes things get garbled in transmission.
First person says, "Dad said the tractor was used on truck farms" and that somehow mutates into an orchard tractor by someone that doesn't know what a truck farm is.
Best regards,
Scott
