My Allis-Chalmers Model B stood out in the cold and snow last winter. Today she is getting a new cover.

These pictures were taken about a year ago.

And these were taken yesterday. Currently the new Branson is covered but will be exchanged for Alice. You can see her above the welcome sign on the left.

The backside is fala red like the house and RVport. I chose white on the inside so the old gal will be more prominent.

Don't forget take that cute couple sitting on the Allis this winter. They look kind of cold covered with snow. :)

I found a mouse living in them when I moved the tractor.

I would say the mouse was not just smart but cultivated.

Looks great, good idea to keep the old gal covered.

I was raised on a B Allis Calmers. We raised watermelons, peanuts, corn and had a big garden. Had all the implements including a mule walking cultivator modified to fit for plowing close around watermelons. Your tractor brought back a lot of good memories.
