When I bought my place in 93 thee was an old Allis 10W cat sitting in the Busch all grown in but the engine was loose, even though it had a rusted trough can on the exhaust. A couple years later I decided to pull it home. I jacked up the blade so it was off the ground and pulled it out with the tractor, my son driving the tractor and me on the cat.

I also found that the crown and pinion had lost some teeth which must've been the reason for abandonment back in the day.
