• IH M1 Garand - Zeroing in on the Details. There aren’t many things cooler than owning a Muscle Tractor, but owning a rifle made by International Harvester to go along with it… that’s another level of coolness.

• Something in the Orange: Layne Harnishfeger’s Allis-Chalmers Roots. “I’m very fortunate to have been raised the way I was.” Those are the words of Layne Harnishfeger from Brookville, Indiana. Layne isn’t your characteristic millennial; not even close. In fact, he’s more the exception to the rule. As an avid tractor collector and fourth-generation farmer who bleeds orange, he is dedicated to preserving the history of our favorite era of agricultural innovation… the Muscle Tractor Era.
