Since you were posting pictures of Allis, I pulled mine out of the storage room.
Anybody else have Allis Chalmers ??

I've got a few of them. The first real tractor I had was an Allis C. I was in the fourth grade and bought it from the school custodian.

Randy,,could you take the IH crawler off the shelf and feature it for us? I like this toy topic,,the reason I started it was to keep tractor stories flowing in some of our winter days,,and it doesnt seem to turn into any major squabbles.It would be great if we all grab a toy and tell a story,,it seems like great fun too me?
 
You have a good start. I always like custom toys but lack the skills for scratch building. I have a Weber WD45 with a two row mounted corn picker. I also have a scratch built Allis 56F flail chopper. Post pics of your combine when finished. Tom
 
Dad had one for just a little while. He bought it after the old New Holland 77 with the Wisconsin motor caught fire and burned up in the field. He fed those bales just one winter and it went out of here. He got a New Holland 66.
I don't know if he sold that to George on the next farm south of us or not. He had one,I remember that. He ran it with a John Deere A. What a miserable job that must have been. No live power. Every bale he'd have to pull back the hand clutch,take the tractor out of gear,push the clutch ahead again to start the baler,pull it back after the bale was ejected and put the tractor back in gear. That didn't go on for very long either.
 
My uncle bought an Allis round baler when they firs came out. My brother and I used to go over to his farm and spend 3 weeks of the summer. He always had Ferguson or Massey Ferguson tractors he pulled the baler with. One day closer to lunch time, Uncle Leon hadn't come up from the field around lunch time so my cousin was sent down to see what was going on. A while later, cousin came up from the field and said Pa's down by the baler swearin like a pirate. Seems he was having a little trouble with the baler. The very next summer, uncle swapped for a new Holland baler with a Wisconsin engine on it. The baler itself worked great, but the engine not so much. The engine would start when it was cold, but if it was shut off for lunch, you could crank on that thing for an awful long time before it would start again.
