Wow, Not much demand for SC equipment anymore. Thanks for posting.

I read this and thought....

"Hmmm.... Eldons head is going to explode when he reads this!"

I don't have a tractor to pull it and I would have bought all the stuff!!! Sounds DIRT cheap to me!!!

I know how to use it too. Just don't want to. I've owned AC stuff. Crushed an AC disk last spring when I needed a bearing for it. AGCO only bearing, right at 300 a bearing and needed 3 on one gang. Bought a real nice disk for the same money. Then I had an AC tractor with that sorry we are to cheap to put independent live PTO on our stuff so we can sucker in the cheap skates and the ones who don't know better into buying our cheap tractor.......at least that's how I see it as a marketing gimmick. Best that tractor ever looked was leaving my place on someone else's trailer!

I'd of bought some if it but I have most all of the pieces there 3X over and I don't use
turn plows anymore at all.Good news is the pieces mostly went to people who are going to use them it seemed. I also picked up a nice bunch of Cole planter plates and gears.

I really like the way AC had its Live Power set up,the had clutch on the WD/WD45 and the
D series was handy to use and would out last any similar set up that other tractor companies had at the time.AC also had the best durable engines of their day we put thousands of hrs on a couple with no problems while the couple other tractors we had were overhauled.

Unless those items were complete junk those prices would have been triple here in Iowa. Demand on snap coupler items remains high. For example, was at an auction in the area last year, there was a horse drawn walking potato plow converted to snap coupler. I thought Id get it for $50. It brought $475, like I said it was a homemade conversion!

So you own one Allis tractor and base the whole company on your experience...now that is intelligent LOL! If you knew how to properly operate it, you would see the benefits of the hand clutch for the live pto. I'd put the hand clutch and power director of the AC's up against any TA, SOS, Ampli-Torq or whatever and it would win hands down. You should read a little about Allis history before you judge...seems you are the only person on this forumn that has a hatred for the company...makes one wonder why??? Oh yeah, you are smarter that everyone else LOL!

Well let's see if numbers tell a story. Both JD and IH out sold AC. So not everyone drank the cool aid.

Just how in the heck can you expect anyone to believe that live power through the power director is better than IPTO? I never claimed to be smarter than everyone. Let's see dad had an AC. Liked to jump out of 2nd till he fixed it. Real common problem for AC was trannies jumping out of gear from the WD clear up to and including the 100 series. Wonder why AC couldn't be bothered to address that? I have had experence with other AC tractors too. I'm just unimpressed with AC and willing to point out thier many flaws. Heck even Case beat AC with IPTO.

Like I said, explain why this so called wonder device didn't grab the market? Were all those other farmers dumb? Gee if the snap coupler is so great why is everything today 3 point? The snap coupler deserves a spot right there with the fast hitch as one of the dumbest things ever done by a tractor company. "Let's see here fellas, we are going to get a bunch of dumb hard headed independent minded farmers and force the to buy only our implements". That worked out well for them I see. Really increased AC's market share with that move. Just like the fast hitch. Heck in 71/72 you didn't see hardly any AC implements anywhere and the same went for the fas hitch stuff. Sure you saw the tractors, modified to 3 point. Even the guys I knew back then with AC's could admit the PD was a joke as an excuse for live PTO when comparing say a JD3020/4020, IH 706/806 and the comparable AC offering in the same year models like the D17 or 19. JD and IH both offer IPTO. Now today at auction over most of the country which tractors bring the most money when being purchased as workers? Why JD and IH of corurse! Heck here a IH 706/806 will bring double the money a D17/19 will bring. Guess all those guys are wrong too?

I guess Eldon has said it. If you ain't running AC's yer dumb! And if ya don't love the PD it's cause you don't know how to run it even if you do.
