Anyone know Curtis Mabe? Is this a genuine prototype?

Read about that tractor on here before, I think. http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/d18-prototype_topic25161.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/d18-prototype_topic25161.html http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/c-h-wendel-book-d18_topic6947.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/c-h-wendel-book-d18_topic6947.html Some of the pics are "gone" to the internet ages though, sadly. Whether it is real or not, or just a recreated one via marrying of a D-17 front end and a D-19 rear end, seems up for debate...

I might have some of the blueprints for that. Got them with a bunch of documents out of the LaPorte Plant at an auction of a former Engineer named Craig Cannon. ------------- Pre-WW2 A-C tractors on steel wheels...because I'm too cheap to buy tires! |

| The "D-18" would be pretty easy to duplicate by mixing/matching D-17 and D-19 parts. |
