Sept 2nd 2025, I will officially be open for business as Dr. Allis LLC. I've got a couple of tractors already lined up for work. Looking forward to helping keep old A-C machinery running. Anything is possible from rebuilding/repairing injection pumps, injectors, hydraulic pumps, engine OH's or even complete restorations of that tractor that used to be Grandpa's.  Turn key pulling tractors are also on my "will do" list. With UPS and other shippers, it is very possible to easily ship components to/from each other. I have trucking available if needed. Address is:  3040 Eagle View Ct in Robins, Iowa 52328. Excited to getting this going in my golden years. I've figured out there is nothing good on TV these days, so I just as well be productive doing this. Thanks. 319-360-4788 cell.

congrats Dr! Finally getting out of Altorfer?? lmao! As mentioned above, you'll be covered up, so make sure you're selective. Not everyone is a good customer. Some are not worth the stress! I will say though, everyone from this page I've dealt with have been great!

I know what you mean about nothing good on TV and having idle time in retirement. The last few years, we have gone south for a month in the winter. After a few days I am going stir crazy! 

I hope you stay active on the forum.

I wish the Dr. made house (shed?) calls to New York!

Good luck in your new venture!

As a guy who wants stuff fixed, but doesn't have the shop of technical expertise to do it himself, having such a resource would be great news. I had to depend on such a guy or else the D15 would be parked and rusting away by now. 

If I could make one suggestion, if the business warrants it, be on the lookout for a young pup (or two) to train up and help you out. In that generation, good ones few and far between but I bet they are out there. Work goes faster and you can share the institutional knowledge that is drying up fast. Gives them a career opportunity and work caries on long past when we are gone.

Oh absolutely. When I worked at the Injection Service of Illinois shop in mossville/peoria, it was owned by Altorfer, so Dr and I actually were employed by the same company. Leaving the corporate world over 12 years ago to start my own shop was the best decision I've made. Self employment is not for everyone though.

Congratulations, Dr! With your knowledge you should be very successful. Good advice from others to be selective in the jobs you accept, otherwise you’ll be overloaded with work.
