Does anyone have any general information on this tractor? It was built in Pratt, KS and has an Allis Chalmers diesel engine.

We have documentation for it so I just wondered if anyone has general information about the company and the town. It is our understanding that not many were built.

Thanks, Ron
 
The most recent issue of FARM SHOW (Vol. 38 no. 6) has a good article and picture of a Schafer 4WD tractor. Actually the article was more about the Texas high school student Cody Garrett who restored the tractor and then won the 2014 CHEVRON Delo tractor restoration competition. He and his dad traveled all over the country chasing down parts and gathering information. The article also has Cody's follow up phone number. One of the perks of winning is that He and the tractor will be attending several shows across the USA. PS Did the Schafer built tractor become the AC 4WD tractor called the "Sugar Babe"?
 
I found the Farm Show article after I had posted here. Good article. The article's mention of the "one in Minnesota" is the one we have at Farmamerica. Although ours has an Allis Chalmers engine and the one Cody Garrett owns has an International engine.

Pratt, Kansas Tribune newspaper has a recent article also about a 91 year old man who worked for Schafer when these tractors were built.
