Personaly I'm partial to any 1954-1965 Allis Chalmers Tractor,but my dad was the one who really had a hard time decideing what tractor to keep and use. His first one was a AC "B" with a small Disc and Plow,the 2 Clydedales and 2 big Belgians that I remember always were on stand by when he was running the little B. Then he and some others got ahold of some Mogen David Grape Wine they found laying in the middle of the road and next day a big Orange AC Model UC was delivered to our farm. I remember they did not have a Delivery Truck but drove it from Town to the Farm. Dad was out dragging down fresh disced Corn Ground when it came.The delivery guy had to wait awhile for him to get to the end of the Field as he had a 4 Horses hitch hooked to a 4 section Drag and he walked behind the Drag guiding the Horses. He finished dragging the Ground with the Horses before even giving the UC a look.Mean while us Kids really gave that UC a look over,even tried to turn the engine with the Crank. He did Plant with the AC B and 2 row JD 290 Planter but the UC never got a chance to show off until Oats were harvested when it got to do the Belt work on the Case Thresher. At different times in his life he owned a Ford 8N w/Loader,A Case DC, A Oliver 88 w/#4 mounted Corn Picker,a AC WD45,A AC D21,but the old UC and the little B were never gone from the farm while he lived.The old Horses were retired and died one by one and I think he cried when ever one of them passed away. My sale bill in 1971 listed two WD45 AC's, one D15 and one D17 and one 190 all AC, I guess I was an AC admirer.JC

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
