I'm looking for a good Allis-Chalmers book on the history of the company with descriptions and pictures of the tractors that they made.

I'm don't need the detailed spec's on each model; I'm not looking for rebuilding info. And I'm more interested in the older tractors not the new ones.

Does anyone have a good book to recommend?

I don't have a book store anywhere close so I'll probably be shopping on the web.

What about "Vintage Allis-Chalmers Tractors: The Ultimate Tribute to Allis-Chalmers Tractors" by Chester Peterson, Lynn K. Grooms and Roger Welsch?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Jim M

Jim;

BY FAR the best A-C book I've read is Norm Swinford's 'Allis-Chalmers Farm Equipment 1914-1985'. Swinford was an A-C rep and knows what he's writing about. C.H. Wendel's book 'The Allis-Chalmers Story' is good, too. Don't waste your money on Wendel & Morland's hack job book.

Get Norm Swinford's Allis Chalmers Farm Equipment 1914-1985. Its the best authoritative book about Allis Chalmers tractors and equipment from the premier expert. Dave

I will second that nomination. There is also a companion soft cover book that has additional pictures and information in them. BTW, you can write to Norm to purchase the books and he will autograph them for you.

Thanks for the recommendations. I found Norm's book on the Internet and it looks like just what I'm looking for.

Buying direct from Norm and getting it autographed would be great; how can I contact him?

Norm's in Greenfield, WI at (414) 545-7419. I met him at GOTO '02 in Michigan. Quite a gentleman and a tribute to the AC family.

Would you please: When you get the autographed book from Norm and have a chance to review the copy, could you post a commentary or short review of its layout? I have worked on JD and Farmall and would someday like to reach up to an Allis. Thank you in advance.
