Allie was built for parades only, we don't use it for the farm. We entered it at the State Fair Tractor Show in 2010 held in Huron, SD. Allie won the "People's Choice" award and received a nice 3 foot trophy. My wife wanted it pink but I decided on red since I am a collector of IH tractors.

Those poor kids get to eat the exhaust. LOL I like the bumper drag link. Even though it's red, he did a lot of work to make a neat toy.

What, no comments on the IH fenders. He said he had to have something on it out of his pile of parts. It belongs to my cousin, Jack Mader. He is a die hard IHC man but he saw one of these lowriders at a show and thought it was the cat's meow.
I had to come up with a lot of the parts he ended up using because the the B he bought (he is as cheap as I am) turned out to be in pretty bad shape.
It was a fun project and the only work it does is pull the barrel train for the kids to ride in parades.

With the drawbar at axle height it could be more deadly pulling a plow or implement than the infamous Fordson. Nothing to keep it from flipping over the axle.

I would be concerned with the one brake catching and sending you into a spin. I used my medium rider to haul my boat and boat lift out today.

Seen at Prairie Village Threshing show in SD August 25, 2011. It was really IH red.     Late day sun got the last picture. Looks like both axles were turned upside down. Not much ground clearance for crop cultivation or even clearance of road kill. Gerald J.
