	Ernie, the Allis Chalmers G tractor has always pushed the plow
along as it mounts on the front axle of the tractor. To be honest with
you, I never did think the G did a very good job plowing - at least not
for me. I fooled with it until I lost patience and went back to the
AC 2-14 snap coupler plow or the JD one bottom 3 point plow for the 40.
What happens on the G that I had the most trouble with was that the
plow would get pushed to the side when it encounter rocks or heavy clay
and I could not make it run straight enough to suit me. Even with the
front weight on the G, the front end was too light, IMHO.
