Richard,
I have an AllCrop 40. I had always been interested in one because my dad and uncle ran one with a 'B' A-C tractor for my dad's future father-in-law. This was in 1941-43, in the piedmont area of North Carolina. The whole rig was nearly new then. There were quite a few of them sold around here back then. Almost all were the sacking platform type, instead of the bin and auger.
I bought mine from an older gentlemen around ten years ago. He had enclosed the sacking platform with plywood and made in into a bin. Has a sliding 'door' in the bottom that you hook a sack on when you want to empty the bin. It was once powered by a Model A Ford engine, but was switched back to PTO. Me and my dad cut some fescue seed with it. I have been thinking of selling it. They can be hauled on a rollback or 8 foot wide trailer.
Really neat little combines. I have heard that John Deere bought the design from A-C, enlarged it some, and produced the 12-A. They are very much alike.My dad and uncle bought a 12-A in 1943 and we used it until the mid 1980s. It was also a sacker.
The man I got the 40 from also had a 'Doodlebug' built from a Model A Ford, and he had put a front end loader from an 8N on it. He was a very nice fellow.
I always enjoy your posts, and seeing your 'T' truck, cane mill, etc.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
