We (Pop, Uncle, and I) still have three Allis-Chalmers D-17s that Grandpa bought new at the now-defunct Allen Implement. The 1959 Series 1 was a dealer demonstrator tractor, so I suppose it was technically used (slightly). It has a New Idea trip-bucket loader on it. It is in pretty bad shape, and is the next candidate for re-work. The 1962 Series III and 1966 Series IV (both narrow-front) are still well-maintained and working hard for us. My uncle also still has an AC 185 that he bought new from another dealer. That dealer tried to tell him he needed to finance the purchase, but ended up taking my uncle's stack of cash anyway. Grandpa also bought two used Series IVs at farm auctions that my uncle and Pop bought from him. I bought another Series IV and a 7040 over the years to round out the fleet. The only tractor to escape was an old AC garden tractor (not a mower, but I don't know the model) that Grandpa sold to a local tractor mechanic. I would love to find that tractor again, but I don't have high hopes. Funny, I just realized that only the 185 and the 7040 are younger than me, and only those two and my D17 have been in the family fewer years than me.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
