Whoa Allis!

This Minnesota farmer solved the problem of losing the starting crank to his ’38 WC by spot-welding it to the shaft. This was a brilliant idea until the day he was in a hurry to get home for lunch, pulled on to the driveway wide open in 4th gear, yanked on the hand brake, and well… you guessed it. Worn brake linings allowed just enough forward travel to push the crank into the brand new fiberglass garage door which pushed it to the rear and coupled it up to the running Allis engine. This created an unintended circular saw that cut a neat and convenient doggy door for the surprised collie standing nearby.
