[AT] Two Allis Chalmers U's

[Grant Weir]

Hello all,

   Last fall, Dad and I found an Allis Chalmers U on rubber on an abandoned 
yard site out near the home place.   The owner had fairly recently bought 
the place and did not know it was there.  This spring he finally got out 
there to have a look and promptly called Dad back to tell him that there 
were actually TWO Allis U's out there!   He also mentioned that his sons 
might want to restore them so he would be keeping them for now - but check 
back in a couple of years.
   Last weekend I took the digital out for a drive and stopped by the place 
to see if I could find this hidden tractor we had missed.  I felt it was 
mildly embarrasing that I had actually missed a find that was right there 
under my nose, and wanted to see some proof.  :-)  Well, it is there 
alright, but man is it ever deep into the bushes!  No wonder I couldn't find 
the darn thing the first time out.  I almost bashed my shins on it before I 
saw it.  Whew!
   There was one other thing that I thought was pretty cool - both of these 
tractors serial numbers differ by only three numbers!  Pretty wild eh?  I 
have a notion that Dad and I will be the new owners of these tractors sooner 
than later.  Hopefully we can get them this summer.   Check the link below 
for some snapshots of the things I saw on Sunday.  Neat stuff!
