For a rookie (me too) you did an outstanding job leveling the pad.
Yes I’m getting it done but putting too many hours on the tractor.

You can never have too many hours on the tractor when you like it. Great job.

My Allis B was delivered today. The belly mower is behind it and will be moved. I also have the half tracks for it.

Looks nice. Both where it"s at, and the tractor it self. I probably wouldn't have to worry to much about it being stole, but I would have folks asking is it for sale.

People have lots of lawn art around here. Only about a half dozen houses are on the road and pass it daily. I hear in the fall all that changes and the road is on a popular tourist route.

It will be decked out for holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas ifI get around to it and can come up with decorations.

That looks great as well as the pad you prepped for it.

What are the half tracks you mentioned?

They are for mud and snow. This is an online picture I found.

Those half tracks are really neat. I bet they are collector's items. Your display looks great.

The half tracks are half the value of the tractor. I’m debating of whether I should get it running. It ran and was a working tractor two years ago.

That is so cool, never seen tracks on a wheel tractor before. As you know, down on the Palouse the farmers mostly use tracked equipment to traverse those hills. We’re even seeing tracked combines. I assume the rear tires drive the tracks and the center axle keeps the tension on them? Thanks for posting the picture.

Tracks for ATV's up to full size trucks and SUV's.

Expensive
"Pricing varies depending on the kind of truck you're planning on equipping with tank tracks. TFLtruck reported that the custom Mattracks 150s fitted to the Sierra cost about $10,000 per track, for a total cost of $40,000. However, for lighter trucks, that price will likely go down
