[AT] Allis-Chalmers pricing info needed - AC RC

[Al Jones]

Am I the only one that finds an Allis WD/WD45 the most uncomfortable
tractor to mount ever?  Honestly it feels like I'm trying to enter a
submarine or something!

Next to routine service (changing the oil, etc.) the best thing any
owner can do for any piece of machinery of any make is to put it under a
roof when not in use.

Not that I don't like AC's there good for some people, just some info I
have
noticed about them in this area which is carried over to other parts of
the
country, similar faults found in them.  I have had a few of most
different
tractors here at my place, not being rich enough to have a nice warm
barn
for them all to sit in , they mostly spend there time out in the
elements of
winter which is where I think most tractors of any age spent most of
there
time, kinda like dogs, mine are out side working dogs as are most of the
tractors I come across and thats where they should be. I am glad your
grandfathers CA did him well and he did care about it more than others,
but
if I come across an AC in this area or any place else it is pretty easy
to
find out how much the previous owner maintained it and if I want to
waste
some of my money on it or find a good faded , rusted up green tractor
that
won't give me as much trouble.
