[AT] now Construction & Other Equipment

[HERBERT METZ]

Cecil,

Your need for Allis Chalmers repair parts; 'Allischalmers.com' forum has been around for twenty years;  suggest you monitor 'Construction and Other Equipment'  which is one of ten categories where you can monitor without posting.   If you chose to post you must get a password (no problem; no cost).

After they bought out Allis Chalmers construction equipment, parts were either non-existent or platinum...  Unfortunately I have a few pieces of Allis construction equipment here.  None are operable due to a repair parts cost of over $2000.  This is the reason I went to Caterpillar.  There are enough aftermarket parts available for Cats.  Cat tried to stop the aftermarket parts supply many years ago by buying Surplus Tractor Parts of Fargo North Dakota.  3 years after buying them Caterpillar shutdown the facility and scrapped all the machines in order to make everyone buy new Caterpillar machines.   It did not work as they planned.  The overseas manufacturers started supplying parts and small salvages started up all over.  I recently traded my old D6 8U series dozer for a 112 grader.  My old D6 had sat for about 10 years since I parked it.  We loaded it without it not running.  The fellow I traded with is a real mechanic.  We dropped the dozer off at about 1pm Sunday and loaded the grader and headed home.  He had the dozer running before dark!!!!!   I wish he was closer to my place, we could have some great times with all of our toys.  That trade has turned out to be a great deal for both of us.   I have another 112 grader, and also another friend in the brotherhood.....
