and his wife! Lon(MN) - Lon Saeger. He brought me down a rear cultivator and he took back a loader frame. Made us both happy I think....... Great talking to you and your wife Lon and hope to see you again in the future. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

Had a great time and was nice meeting you. Made it to Wausau about 8 pm. Picked up a tractor the next day. Found out how fast I can change a tire on I94. Worked on the loader frame today. Looks like a nice one. Hope to see you again soon Lon

Lon, I am glad you had a chance to meet Ted. Ted is a gentleman and a very honest person. I loaned Ted an Allis-Chalmers snap-coupler post hole digger a couple of years ago. He took care of it and returned it to me in BETTER shape than what it was when I gave it to him to use. He is a friend indeed! ------------- G,D10,D12,D14,D15,D17gas,D17 diesel,D19 Diesel, D21 Series II,160,190, B1,Bumble Bee 10,B1,HB 212,ACC 30 forklift and snap-coupler equipment |

| He has lots of neat stuff, and a new shed to put it in. Randy I think you should loan him your D21 with a snow blower. That might solve your cold weather starting problem. |

Glad you had a safe trip Lon. You'll have to excuse my bad manners, I forgot to offer you and the wife something to wet your whistle....water, tea, coffee, pop or even a beer. My mistake, it won't happen again!!

A tour of your collection is all I need. Got the loader mounted to a tractor today. Had to weld up some freeze cracks. Was still leaking water after I mounted it. Turned out to be a straight frame. Half inch off. Did Randy bring over the D21 yet?

No Lon he didn't bring it over.....I haven't heard a thing from him.  I don't expect he will be coming this way any time soon.  I guess I'll have to make a road trip one of these days to see him again.Chris, you had me there for a sec......I was thinking east of me but I knew Wittenberg was "up Norte". 35 east of Wausau...... ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

Hey Ted, I was at Randy's today and saw the D21 and the snow blower. He showed me the post hole digger and I asked when the D21 was heading your way. He had the deer in the headlights look. Chris I went passed your place a couple times for the auction with all the Allis stuff near Leapolis. I also have a friend down the road in Tilleda. Might stop by some day. Thought I would see you at the auction biding on the 100 combine.

Last summer at Hutch, Rltool, Ray and I were talking to Randy about somebody who was a good guy. Randy says, I'll tell you what a good guy is. Then he tells us the story about Ted and the post hole digger. Lon, If Randy brought his D 21 to Ted's, Ted would get that D21 cold start issue fixed pronto before it went up in smoke. lol Tim ------------- 1950 WD 1959 D14 1955 WD45 1976 7000 B 207 |

I'm thinkin next year I'm gonna buy a camper and stay right there at Hutch and not have to travel. I'd have to walk around for a while and meet some of the constabulary so's they wouldn't get me into any trouble.....  ... THEN LOOK OUT!!Tim, I was PLEASED to meet ALL of you guys!! Hope you are going to be flying in for next year too!! Need a lift from the airport...wherever that is??  I know that there were a LOT of people I wanted to see at Hutch and didn't get the chance to. The weather didn't help either. For SURE going to be something next year!!  Shameless and I hit it off right from the start.........but we behaved ourselves!!!  Me thinks that we were SO BUSY trying to get Creston hooked up....an makin eyes at his Ma......... that we just plumb forgot to make any shenanigans. THAT'S the TROOTH an I'm stickin to it!!Thad, Joe.....you plannin on comin?? I'll buy a bigger camper........ ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

Thanks for your offer of a ride Ted. We rent a car so Ray and I can talk Allis, and the girls sleep in. I think I will be back next year. We all got short changed w/ the weather. One of my high lights of the show was being asked if I wanted to meet Shameless. I thought he was off some where. But nope, he's standing 5 feet from me. Here is a picture of Ray, our buddy Creston, doing a deal w/ Larry Karg. ------------- 1950 WD 1959 D14 1955 WD45 1976 7000 B 207 |

I KNEW I should have gone out to Larry's earlier than I did......that dang Creston was sure lucky this year......he got all the good deals at Larrys and then he got the girls TOO!!  I guess he deserves it though.....has to put up with all the ribbing from us...... with a LOT MORE to come!!! I'm making a BUNCH of REALLY SHARP sticks I'll be handing out to those in the need. Either to get even with or to start something...... Shameless.......just think of the BSin we can do an the stories and the GOOD beers we can share if we're campin!!! All youse guys that were camping, do they allow a little friendly campfire for you to sit around and chew the fat?? ------------- "Allis-Express" 19??

I have a camera Ted. I thought that picture wasn't quite in focus. I was in a hurry. Creston was awe struck looking at the umbrella. Of course I was too. I will have to look back at what other pictures I have you might like. Tim ------------- 1950 WD 1959 D14 1955 WD45 1976 7000 B 207 |
