New Arrivals
| (2) D14's | A-C D15 Series I | WD45 |
 |
1968 Allis-Chalmers D12 Series III |
|
|
My dad and I found this D12 in the Spring of 2011. This tractor is completely original down to the Nelson muffler. It has an A-C Model 100A loader with the material bucket and factory dozer/push blade. More importantly, the serial number of this tractor is adjacent to the D12 Series III that I purchased in 2001 - ten years prior. I would have never imagined that the opportunity would arise to own two D12's with adjacent serial numbers, and late production models at that. I am continually researching the history of these tractors. |

1951 Allis-Chalmers Model B |
|
|
I purchased this late 1951 Model B during the Summer of 2010. It has the original paint, decals, and magneto. It also has a Nelson muffler, which was an added bonus. I have a fondness for the late B's (1951-57) and was fortunate to be able to add this one to my collection. |

1956 Allis-Chalmers Model B |

I purchased this tractor locally in August 2008. I had been looking for a late Model B for quite some time, and when I found this one, I couldn't pass it up. It has the original paint, decals, and battery box. I also believe the woven spark plug wires to be original. |

1955 Gleaner T, SN 55T1450 |
|
|
I am the third owner of this 1955 T. The second owner purchased it around 1978, and the original owner purchased it new in August 1955. Here is a little background for those not familiar with the T. The Model T was only built for one model year, 1954-55, and was the smallest of the Gleaner self-propelled units. This T has a 10 ft. header which makes it a T-3 (the T-2 had a 7 ft. header). It has a 172 ci four cylinder Ford OHV engine. Model T production was discontinued when A-C purchased Gleaner in 1955, but sharp eyes will notice the A-C diamond on the grain bin and the "Allis-Chalmers" decal above the Gleaner name on the bin. My guess is that this was one of the later units remaining in inventory that had A-C decals applied before going out the door. |

1939 Allis-Chalmers All Crop 40 Harvester, SN 4204 |
|
|
I recently purchased this combine from a friend of mine who was the second owner.
The original owner purchased the combine new in 1939, along with a 1939 Model B. I am very fortunate to have
the original parts manuals, sales literature, and an original letter from the A-C Kansas City Branch House
congratulating the owner on his new unit. This unit was always shedded up until several years ago. I recently
found a set of NOS upper and lower drapers. |

My grandpa sold this tractor to a gentleman in the late '70s. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to purchase this tractor back from that same gentleman (and my wife's uncle I might add). I had plenty of help as my dad, brother, and father-in-law made the trip with me. It has the original 13-28 Firestone rear tires and also has a PTO. This tractor had not been started in 19 years. After getting her home, dad and I went to work. After cleaning the points and settling bowl, and adding some gas, she came to life. This one will stay in work clothes. |
