 Topic: "re-purposed" little Allis B
Posted: 24 Aug 2016 at 9:48am |
My in-laws found this plastic Ertl John Deere tractor at a yard sale. I "re-purposed" it with some Persian Orange and authentic decals. Will be a birthday present for my son when he turns 1 year old. Pretty happy with how it came out!

One GREAT JOB!!! My favorite looks just great.
Funny, when you think of it there are hardly any models or other things made of the B.
Good Luck!

Looks nice! Says "C" but has a wide front, but kinda looks like a CA, since it doesn't have a bench seat. Lol

lol...it looks great! and it really don't even look like a green tractor either! prolly another city bots design that has never been around a tractor but may have seen one in a picture ad of a newspaper! when I worked at an AC dealer, I placed an ad in the local newspaper, was a big ad and cost a lot of money! when it came out, it was a pic of a green tractor with the AC info! I went in there and raised all kinds of H*LL with the publisher! he says to me...there's nothing wrong with that ad, it's a picture of a tractor! I said a different brand of tractor! he says, they are all the same and no one would notice! then I yelled at him that the farmers would notice and that's who we try to sell to, then said..."are you STUPID?" I pulled the advertising outta there and went elsewhere! and stopped the payment on the check! PffffT!

That's the funniest thing I've read in a long time!!! But I believe it!! Those city folks that don't know a tractor from a combine are terrible, but the ones that think "a tractor's a tractor" are even worse!
A side note...all in favor of seeing a pic of Shameless "working" (??) at the A-C dealership years ago, say "I"!
I!

I think you did better than me. I traded 2-22 rifles for an 8070 pedal tractor last summer. But they were common rifles and the tractor was in nice shape
Shameless. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall. That is really funny. City folk.
