Well, Annie got to go out and bake in the sun yesterday… that makes that enamel paint hard and it does take a while to dry properly. I was also able to get old Allis out and get her scratches from carrying and using that plow fixed. She looks pretty good again for a 70 year old work horse. For those interested Annie, my Case SC was produced in 1949. Old Allis is a war baby Allis Chalmers B made in 1944. Believe it or not she still has her original main wire harness in her. What makes this special is being a war baby they didn’t use copper wiring in her. She has a zinc wiring in her. Now, everything off the main harness is copper now… and someday I plan on putting a new harness in her but leaving the original harnness under it. That is a piece of history that does not exist in most tractors from the second world war yet….
