Deutz bought the Allis Chalmers farm business- Allis had some of the best in the business with the 8000 series- Deutz wanted to keep that going , but they did not buy the tractor plant, so their plan was to move all 8000 tooling etc, to Germany build them and send them back over here,, these were crazy times and thoughts then they decided to axe the whole idea as it was too expensive, if you go thru AC and Deutz Allis they promoted the 8000 series till 1986,,

Dseries4 is right, all they wanted was combines and dealers. Kind of like Biden didn't want anything good that Trump did. Results were the same.

A good question , why not ship their own tractors here instead of bastardizing the Whites?? Why destroy all the tooling also????
Seems not well thought out.

Deutz did not want AC tractors - they already had their own. The only thing Deutz wanted were the combines and the dealer network.

New to this group! But I have been doing a lot of reading and I'm curious why did Deutz kill the 8000 series along with Allis's power shift? Confuses me to kill what was ahead of the time and go to a Oliver/white over and under? Was the 8000 series patents sold to someone else?
