Mike Narloch crafted this 20-35 Model E Allis-Chalmers. He started by splitting and stripping a 1970s Bob Gray casting and grinding off the air intake stack and radiator cap. He then added some frame detail with his Dremel. He added a seat and steering wheel and shaft, then made a new air stack, radiator cap and crank. Mike also made a more detailed front axle from a piece of aluminum stock, wire and tie rod ends from Dakotah Toys. A set of wheels was salvaged from a Scale Models tractor. "The 20-35 was finished in dark green with red wheels and decals expertly crafted by my wife, Susie," MIke said.
