1948 Allis Chalmers G Plowing II

[@cph221]

We have my father in laws G with cultivator, disc, plow, planter and cultivator. Do you have any videos on discing or planting with the G?

[@elhigh]

My grandfather bought one of the very first one of those in his little town in Minnesota back in 1948. As he was driving it home, neighbors driving by would slow down and shout, "Ray, go see if you can get your horses back!" Two years later, there were another dozen in town. For vegetable farmers, it was just about the best machine you could buy. He still owned it as late as 1995.

They were way better than Farmall's because they had over head valves. Farmall tractors had flat head engines and would foul the spark plugs in no time. I have a CA, a excellent two row cultivator tractor. I recently bought a Ford 1710 high crop offset tractor, it has two transmissions in it. The CA gas engine has way more horsepower than the Subura diesel in the Ford.

[@elhigh]

In addition to having 50% more displacement in the CA engine than your Ford's compact Shibaura diesel, the CA tested out having more power in general. Interestingly, the CA's drawbar rating was just 18hp, but it tested at nearly 23. When's the last time you bought anything that the manufacturer UNDER promised and OVER delivered? I used to have a Farmall A. I liked it but its ignition was balky and I'm not clever enough to make sense of it.

[@EZ570]

I would like to find a A-C G cultivator. It is hard to find one in good shape with plenty of cultivator parts with it. I was at the Pennsylvania farm show today and bought 6 raffle tickets on a Cub with the snow plow attachment. I'd like to win it.

@@elhigh If it didn't over deliver it wasn't an Allis Chalmers

[@cs-rj8ru]

Somehow I get the feeling you don't quite know what you're talking about. Our 1942 Farmall was clearly OHV...

[@winstonpoplin]

I cant imagine plowing and the dirt being brown. Where i live in North Carolina the dirt is pure red, not even a little brown. Amazing!

[@leifhietala8074]

Got the offset exactly right on that front wheel, just inside the furrow to resist the thrust of the plow. Perfect!

[@davidphilpott6606]

Thanks for sharing. My brother just acquired on of these. I never saw one before!

[@benscoles5085]

looks like the ol tractor does this job very well, , this is the first time I saw a plow on a G, , you have it set right, and good operator skills make the garden look very nice., Fine Job.

[@johngnipper8768]

Does a beautiful job !

[@copperhead6132]

amazing video, very informative!

[@ernestwhite2989]

She is a gem!

[@andy41417]

Got the rare hydraulic cylinder. We had one with the mower. Never used the plow.

[@carlyleporter5388]

Great video bi Gawd !! Wish I could do something like that.

[@rogerstephenson5876]

Great video thanks so much for sharing.

[@az55544]

if you have time this spring, would you please make a video of installing the plow? thank you.

[@marlinswope2201]

Sorry for the delay in a video. Did not plow the garden last year. Hope to be able to to it this year.

[@marlinkathyswope1942]

I did make short videos but not tech savvy enough to edit and make it into a video. My son's girlfriend was going to do it, but as of now, it did not get done. I'll try to apply some pressure, ha! Hopefully I'll get it posted soon.

[@coburnlowman]

Kool I picked up the same plow but never mounted it. Glad to know how it I ever do.

[@marlinswope2201]

Did not do a video mounting the plow last year. I will try to get it done later this spring.

[@fredhart7904]

Nice little tractor, I kept watching to see how the plow was lifted out of the ground, does the tractor have a hydraulic lift of some type?

[@marlinswope2201]

Yes, it's hydraulic.

[@haweater1555]

This was the first tractor that dad taught me to drive solo in the barnyard (because it was low and slow, and easy to stop if I got in trouble). Since the gear pattern is labelled "L-1-2-3" , when you mean by "second" you mean gear 2, but 3rd speed?

[@marlinkathyswope1942]

2nd gear by the gear pattern (not counting low). My garden is on a slight incline. Plowing up the grade I usually use first gear, plowing down the grade I can use 2nd gear.

[@oldfarmer9004]

Very cool. Can you raise the plow as you come out of the furrow and keep right on rolling? Or do you have to stop to lift the mold board every time? That seems like it might be hard on the clutch.

[@rogerramalho7442]

Do you know where do I Ship parts of the Alles Chalmers Model G?

[@AdrianPerez-qj7lc]

Estupendo tractor👍🍺

[@taddhartz8247]

Hey i heard you say youre in central pa and your last name is swope. I have some swopes near me. Do you happen to live around berks

[@marlinkathyswope1942]

I live south of Hershey

[@aguilayserpiente]

It appears that set up prefers right hand clockwise plowing. Cool tractor. How much did it cost you?

[@marlinswope2201]

$1,800 for the tractor and another $100 (I think) for the plow. Bought it around 1986 at a public farm sale. My Dad restored it about 2 yrs. after I bought it.

[@mousetrapupnorth9980]
