My name is Derek Rinaca from Shenandoah Va and this is my 48 WD Agent Orange. its powered my a 226ci D17 engine out of a Gleaner-E combine it purrs at 4000 rpms and has a downdraft 2 barrel carb. Horsepower is unknown i dropped the PTO years ago to lose weight. My dad and i built it in his garage and it kinda makes me proud because no shop has ever touched any component of the tractor and we can whip up on tractors with powerblocks, stroked engines, and even turbos! it really makes the high money pullers mad when our old junk puts 50 feet on em! Ive been pulling this tractor for about 10 years and knock on wood...has only broken once at Culpeper Virginia and i just lost an ignition coil. My grandfather is the man i can thank for my addiction to orange, we had a decent sized farm and we had a 170 gas a WD45 gas that was his graduation gift when he graduated high school and a 6070 pure allis not an allis on the hood and Deutz Allis on the cab it was one of the last tractors off the West Allis line and a pure Allis. He was a great man and i miss him dearly. I look forward to talking to any Allis fans out there so everyone keep the orange alive!!
