Bunch of stuff....you can see a 1936 WC on Steel, our H3 dozer, a D17 Base model, the hood of our 8070 Open station, a WF, our C Cane/Thompson, a 210 and 220, the noses of our 185 and D17 Cotton Picker tractor, and a couple wagon loads of "stuff"

That 6-12 is insane. I know 0 about farm machines but that thing is cool as hell.
 
More stuff....here you can see that 185, and in the middle is our AC Airplane tug....heavy little bastage!!!

The rest of the D17 cotton Picker tractor, and you can see our 8030 High Crop in the background...

AC model 2000 Series monoframe 7 bottom plow on our 8070. And you can see our Tractomotive TLB loader in the middle...the little thing with the dirt bucket on the front. Next to it is an AC IB.

Thank You

It's one of our favorites. 1 speed forward, i speed reverse...made to directly replace a horse by pulling the same implements. You can remove the rear wheel and seat and hitch up an implement with a seat and ride right along without all the horse **** in your face:D

That is the second farm tractor model Allis built....back when they were the wrong colors

Even cooler with your description. Looks to be in amazing condition. More pics!?!? :Cheer:
 
More stuff we dug out of the weeds while getting stuff ready to go to the show....more plows, a 303 square baler, an old Oliver 442 plow I think, an Allis UC tractor back there, and an SC Case tractor I think

Sure thing. I'll grab some tomorrow.

We had it restored in 2001 for the last Allis show in Plain City.

The man that has done all our restorations was an Ac dealer in the 50's and 60's, and is one of the most particular guys I have ever met. These things are ready to work like they were when they came off the factory floor....ie, new bearings everywhere, the best gears and housings he can find from parts tractors, etc.

Well, at least all of them except the 6-12. There are only ~75 left, so parts had to be made if they couldn't be found. It is all "right" except the carb as far as we know....still looking for the correct one. It will fire on the second pull of the crank though;)

A couple pictures of our HD11 dozer, and our D Road Grader doing some dirt work at the store. Trying to cut out a high spot to make water run away from my new shop.

We are the second owner of the HD11, and it has never left the county. Sold new right in the little town we are in, and when the customer of ours that owned it passed, we talked the son into letting us buy it....the catch is he gets to come use it whenever he likes, and he is maintaining it. They don't trust us to keep it in the shape they always kept it. It is amazingly tight for a 1961 model that has worked almost every day of it's life.

The latest addition to our collection...a 1969 Gleaner K combine....2 owner machine with 182 hours showing. It looks clean enough I believe they are original hours....we are going to get it this weekend up in Michigan!

And in case you didn't catch it in the other thread, here is (part) our 1919 Aultman & Taylor 30-60. We own it together with another friend that actually found the tractor in the mid '80's, and at the time he couldn't swing the purchase on his own....so he called Dad and asked if he would like to be a partner with him.

Dan was killed suddenly last year in a grain truck rollover, but his son Shawn keep the tractor in running shape, and we haul it to whatever shows he would like to take it to. It's been an awesome deal for both families for a long time now....I remember driving this beast at 6 or 8 years old.

They also offered a kit to hook two of them back to back to make a 4wd version...called a Duplex. You'd connect one to each end of the connecting "pipe" and put one in Foward gear, and the other in Reverse gear....which is why they only had one gear each direction.

None of them are known to exist today...and the regular ones are too darn rare to build one. I guess depending on what book you read, there are anywhere from 18-80 left today.

Great collection, wish I could widen the variety we have! Only two Allis we have are a ca and a 160. But thanks for the pics I really enjoyed them.

Welcome.

Stay tuned for more. This is just "most" of what we took to the show two weeks ago. We had 39 pieces with engines there, and 62 total with the wagons full of pieces we took.
