I have two full binders of Gleaner combine brochures and a few Allis Chalmers tractor brochures, But it's getting pretty expensive to collect the Allis Chalmers sales brochures these days. Saw a brochure on the AC 7040, 7060, 7080 tractors for sale the other day for $45.00. Like to get a few more brochures on the tractors but the price needs to be right. Even the Toy AC stuff seems to be gaining in value as well. Jason |

It is funny that I pay good money for things I THREW AWAY when my father closed his dealership. How Dumb can you be! I have kept things that my father used and touched. His sales briefcase, his small Allis Chalmers Price Book (up to date for 1960), his Knowledge is Power, and other items that were close and used by Pop. They are most valuable to me. In fact, one of my fellow Church members was a Sales Representative for International Harvestor, Baltimore MD. He gave to me his father's price book. My Fellow Church Member is gone now. It is my honor to continue to hold this memorabelia for him. The things that I threw away and would love to have now would be our dealership parts identification set up - all in a computer now -, our literature rack, the literature that was in it, and some of the tools that we gave away to other dealers. Good Luck! Bill Long |

I could of got you as many brochures as you wanted, i know a guy that sold a whole bunch of extras that he had. Most were probably more common newer stuff but you cant go wrong at a $1 per pound. Lol ------------- 8070FWA,7080 BlackBelly, 7045,2 200s,D19,D17,G, WD,45,UC,7 AC mowers and lots more! "IT TAKES 3 JD's TO OUT DO AN ALLIS, 2 TO MATCH IT IN THE FIELD AND 1 FOR PARTS!" |

No, you can't go wrong at $1 a pound on some of the newer AC brochures. I have one on the 6000, 8000, and 4W-220, 4W-305. Was at an auction last August and bought an original AC sales manual in a blue binder that covered AC equipment in the 1960's. Only gave $20.00 Canadian for it, which I thought was a fair deal. |

jpessek, You have quite the collage of AC Ephemera. Thank you for posting about them. Two publications standout as interesting to me - "Springfield Story" & "Genie Automatic." The Springfield IL dozer plant was about 30 miles from me. While it was in operation, I either too young, not interested, or not living in IL. Now, that I'm back in IL & more interested in AC's history, the plant has been closed for years. My 1977 K2 Gleaner's Genie Automatic header height control unit still operates & makes harvesting soybeans a joy. This early unit functions with simplicity and is easily hooked & unhooked into the combine's hydraulic lift system.

Maybe some of you could scan them in and offer copies. I have done a few and other than all of the multi-address emails, it was easy to do. And it felt good to provide free history to others that appreciate it. Or, maybe there could be a site created where these pdf. files could be uploaded to? As was stated above, "I wish I had all that we threw away". Many of us would like to have copies that there may only be one of, left in existence. Just a thought! I have several I could upload immediately. If others don't have the capability to scan these into a computer. I would be willing to do it. We would just need to mail the items back and forth. If you don't have a color printer and you want a paper copy, you can take them to an office supply store, Staples, and get color copies. Like I said, I volunteer to scan and upload. Anyone have web storage resources? Any other volunteers? ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Sure like the 18-30 brochure. www.simpletractors.com has done some of the brochures on the new site regarding garden tractors and accessories. Kent on the website is the administator and has done lots of work in getting all this done, and may have some ideas for those of you that are computer savvy so that it could be done on here.

Jpessek, thank you very much - for scanning in copies of the Springfield Story & Genie Automatic. That is the first time I ever seen a Springfield Tractor's aerial view or any exterior view of the plant. I'm enjoying figuring out by looking at it, where Stevenson Ave lies in the photo. That mfg plant was a big deal (20 acres under roof!!!). There is nothing of it that exist today... Wow - they are Great AC Brochures! With your permission, I'd like to pass these copies along to The Sangamon County Historical Society (Springfield, Illinois county). They have the following write-up page at their weblink. http://www.sangamoncountyhistory.org/wp/?p=2646" rel="nofollow - http://www.sangamoncountyhistory.org/wp/?p=2646
This is just an interesting footnote from their page: CNH purchased it from FiatAllis sometime after 1985. Fiat purchased it from AC in 1974 (Fiat 65% + Allis 35% shares). Some 6500 employees work there at its pinnacle. |

Holy Cow!!! On page 15 it shows a photo with the caption "Farm Home of Jacob Laufer, OilPull owner, Gotebo, Oklahoma". That's where my grandparents live, and they knew him! Wow! The strange part is all the other photos have an article accompanying them, but this one doesn't. Just a photo of his house. Seems kinda odd. All the other photos are of tractors, not houses.
