| Just by chance, if anyone doesn't know, the Graham-Bradley tractors were sold by Sears, Roebuck and Co.They were manufactured in the Bradley implement works, (later known as David Bradley) and the six cylinder engine was the same engine used in Graham-Paige automobiles. Very slick looking tractors for the time. |

| The Greyhound tractor was an Allis-Chalmers 20-35 E model with different radiator castings and paint. They were made by Allis for the Banting Company of Toledo, OH who were big dealers of Allis equipment. |

| Ultra Dog, Great picture! Sure does count. Nice tractor. Probably every guy Gol Darns their tractor at some point... depending on the day it is either it is Gol Darn good one, or a Gol Darn hunk of junk. I don't have anything against Fords either (except a Ford car that had a mysterious power loss problem). Just an attempt to be witty. |
