Sorry, but after I the first post I wanted to add a few comments.
Please enjoy!!!
![]() This is the first year I used the "CA". I'm plowing with a #62 plow.The picture was taken at the AC Jamboree in Davis IL. Here I'm drilling wheat with an All-Crop grain drill. The picture was taken at the AC Jamboree in Davis IL. Here I'm pulling a #40 heavy disc at the AC Jamboree in Davis IL. This was our first plow day on the Anderson farm. It was a cold November day. I left the front cultivator gangs on. Here I'm combining soybeans with a #60 All-Crop Harvester. Here I'm combining wheat with a #66 All-Crop at the AC Jamboree in Davis IL. Here I'm discing with the #20 8-1/2 foot disc at the AC Jamboree in Davis IL. This picture was taken a few years ago to prove that the "CA" can and will pickup that big of a disc. Few members of this site didn't think I was telling the truth so I took the pictures. This is a field cultivator that I made up from a row crop toolbar. It's 102" wide with 100% coverage. It does a great job. ![]() This picture was taken at Moose McCure's plow day in Winnibago IL. I 'm pulling a #54 2way plow. For those that didn't notice, take a look where the hand clutch is on that workaholic tractor. Thanks CTucker for pointing that out. So many people thing that the hand clutch is always on the rightside. The hand clutch was an option. I talked with an old AC dealer in Durand who clearly remembers that one could order a "CA" without a hand clutch or one with the clutch on the right or left side. This picture was taken in 2004 at the AC Jamboree in Davis IL. I just got done with the restore. The paint still may have been wet. LOL This was taken at Moose McCure's plow day. I was pulling a 2 bottom disc plow. It was always great to see the look on peoples face when they saw that plow cutting 12" deep. That is by far my favorite plow. That plow would give you the nices seed bed one could ask for. Well it's tater time. I converted my great-grandfathers horse drawn potato plow to a snap-coupler hitch. Here I'm combining oats in heavy weeds with a #90 All-Crop. Here I'm combining wheat with a #60 All-Crop. This All-Crop has the auger extention, straw spreder and Scour-Kleen. Here I'm cutting hay with a #80 mower. Here I'm raking hay with a #77G rake Time to bale with a #303 baler and the rack does have an AC gear under it. I also use the "CA" to haul sheld corn to keep our corn burner going all winter. Here is a crane that I made. I got the plans from Chris in CT. I use the "CA" all year round. She don't get must rest. It sure can push that snow up. I love this picture. Sitting in the seat is my wonderful wife. The "CA" was first owned by her great-uncle. We got the "CA" after he passed. |

Heh Dennis, is that a busy CA or what. lol. Thanks for the pictures. I think you made your point, they are a gutty little tractor. Don't think mine could handle some of that equipment, without getting it overhauled.

Great pictures, Dennis! Thanks for sharing them. I remember your CA from Ted's show of several years ago. If I ever get ready to put some duals on my CA, I'll have to come up and take a look at your set-up firsthand. Brian F(IL) |

How are the duel wheels bolted on ? Just reverse centers and longer studs or some kind of spacers ??

The CA was one of my favorate AC tractors. Had a lot of power for size and could easily pull two plows. The O'Farrell Bros hooked one up to three at a demo and it worked. Nice clean tractor. Never saw one with duals. And I did not hear that a CA could be ordered with a LH Clutch or without a clutch. I checked Pop's price book and it makes no reference to ordering without or with a LH clutch. There are options but they are single front wheel or wide front and some additional weights or other related equipment. Guess I learn something every day.
Good Luck!
Bill Long

Bill, I plowed a field this year with a 3-14 cutting 8" deep behind the "CA". I have a video of it but no pictures. Not sure how to post videos. I may not be able to since all that i have for internet is dial-up. One video would take a week.

Dennis, If you can upload your video to photobucket, then you can paste a link here. It would still take some time to upload with dial-up. I have much faster upload times using Picasa. With my slow Wild Blue connection I have uploaded around 100 pictures to a Picasa web album in less than 10 minutes.

Dennis,
Great photos! A lot of folks doubt how much work a little CA can do but you have proved just how handy a little tractor the CA was. I'm prould to have grown up around Allis tractors and equipment. I completed refurbishing my fathers CA a couple of years ago. The only problem I have is not much work for the old Gal to do when you're "city farming"! Thanks again for posting the great pics!

My tractor is not leaking oil, it's just marking it's territory!

Holy cow... you sure get some cooperation over there. I seem to only be able to get standing shots with no operator. (operator is the photographer!) That CA sure gets the work done! Very cool and thanks for sharing!!!

An OUTSTANDING set of photos! You and I would get along just fine, and I suspect our neighbors are all saying the same things! I know mine all think I'm nuts for all the work I do with my B, C, and D14. Before the D14 came around, I plowed quite a bit of ground with the C, and I still do all my harrowing, drilling, and cultipacking with the B and C. Not to mention spreading fertilizer, mowing, raking and combining. The D14 pulls the haybine, and does the baling, plowing, discing, and snow removal, but the little tractors could easily step in and handle it all.

Great pics, if you keep up that pace you might wear that big little tractor out "again".
The CA U and UC are my favorite.

I want to give my thanks for those pics as well. I thoroughly enjoyed them. The CA is my only Allis and is the reason I sold all my Farmall Cubs.

Scott, most of the pictures were taken at the AC Jamboree in Davis IL. I don't know who all of the shutter bugs are but I do know a few. Dewayne Spears took the one with the #40 heavy disc & Butch Cherringtons wife took the one with the #66 All-Crop combining Wheat. So I thank all the people who took the picture because I do enjoy them. When your doing show demos the only way you get to see the show is by pictures. Thanks To All.

If you are considering a CA do not rule out a D10 or D12, updated CA. |
