Tractor Restoration

  If you happened by the Spooktoberfest in the Town of Greenburgh recently, you may have noticed an orange tractor that was part of the decorations. This vehicle, a 1937 Allis-Chalmbers model B, was restored by Peter Schwartzott’s automotive class and Paul Casagrande’s autobody class at the Southern Westchester BOCES Center for Career Services.

The tractor belonged to Henry Gaisman founder of Gillette Safety Razor Company, who had purchased farmland in the Town of Greenburgh that is now Hart’s Brook Park and Preserve. The tractor was just one piece of equipment restored by students who are also working on several other restoration projects for the Town of Greenburgh.
