Allis Chalmers

[John(videodoc)]

Well i have been home now for four days, sick. Missed a whole weeks worth of work. Finally stating to feel a little better. Bored out of my skull though. Finally got around to doing some of things i said i would do when i got time. Many computer stuff. Did some school work, did some writing, organized my computer files. Organized my pictures of the demo restoration, and came across the CD that Brian had sent out to me with pictures of the AC museum that we toured back in April at Docfest. SO i uploaded them, for all to see, finally. So Thanks Brian (cubguy47) for taking the pictures and getting out to me, and shame on me for taking 6 months to get em posted. So enjoy the pictures, and pass along thanks to Brian! Heres the enterance

heres the rest of the pics

Nice slide show.

One thing that always amazes me is the prices pedel tractors and toy tractors and toy machinery bring at auction.

I cant recall the model number, but if my memory is in tact, i believe he says that is one of three to remain in exsistance today. There was two for years, and then one was found in the Rio Grande river (i think it was this river, large southwestern river), and it was pulled out of the river and restored. Apparently there was a quite lengthy article about that tractor in some monthly/bimonthly tractor magazine years ago, which influenced the value of these tractors. I belive he said the value of that tractor exceeded $100,000. This was the first tractor just inside the LARGE building that housed his many, many tractors.

Now if i am incorrect, EJP, SteveB, Cubguy47, Cowboy, please step in and correct me.

WOW" Never seen A alis (G) with a grain box before. also with a front end loader.

:shock: WOW" Never seen A alis (G) with a grain box before. also with a front end loader.

That "G" with the grain box, is one of two in exsistance. They were special made for the factory. Ran parts up and down the line. Had never been outside or worked in the dirt. When the Allis closed/merged both disappeared. This one ended up at an engineers home, and the son got ahold of Dale, and said hey you want a one of kind "G" And the rest is history as they say. No one knows where the other one is. But he gots a sales receipt for it. Not that it would do any good. John

This 1914 model was the first made by the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing Company. This Allis-Chalmers Model 10-18, a two-plow size tractor, had one forward speed and was capable of plowing at 2.3 mph. The three-wheel design of the Model 10-18 is an attempt to reduce the unwieldy size and weight of early gasoline tractors. The introduction of this tractor in 1914 marked the firm's entry into the agricultural equipment industry.
