I "finished" my Allis 140s spreader refurbishing today. I can't call it a restoration but some certainly would. It got a heavy duty pressure washing, rusty metal primer brushed on, cheap Valspar orange once with a gun and once with a brush. I mostly turned it orange so it would look a little better for a while and to keep it from rusting out as soon. If you buy the cheap Valspar DO NOT plan on spraying it out of a HVLP gun. Maybe out of your Wagner power sprayer. :lol:
I consider it finished because it is now functional. It has split rim 6.00-20s which I don't plan on keeping. I am going to try and find some junkyard rims and tires for it. Hopefully some of the other brand spreaders will have traditional style rims. I will then paint the rims Allis cream. (TSC doesn't sell that color, anybody know of a close match?) I also want to do something with the wood. The wood is supposed to be orange, but I think it might look neat stained. Not sure what to do there. I will start a poll!
Thanks to Nebraska Cowman for the manuals.

This article is a summary of what I have gathered up from various sources on the Gletrac General GG and the B. F. Avery model A tractors. I am quite sure that most of it is accurate. The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
