The first pix is of the “new” Oggun tractor, the “product” of an Alabama start up that just received the first U.S. license to build anything in Cuba since about the time when Castro came to power and shortly after Allis-Chalmers pulled the plug on the second pictured tractor, their G model, in 1955. Coincidentally, the original Allis G was built in Alabama, too. (Thanks to mydogivana – Flickr: Skeleton, CC BY 2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=15048389 for the G model picture)
