It seems it was barely a week ago we celebrated Reubens 95th Birthday, and Weds the 1st of Feb he passed into history. Reubens passing may be the closing of the last of the old time Allis Dealers. He maintained he would not sell any thing larger than a D 17 or 19 many of those tractors continue to faithfully serve their owners today. while he closed Lorenz implement in La Crosse Wi. some time ago many people to strive to own thise tractors today . He always stood ready to help, advise, offer parts or repair the tractors he sold. Bless his memory .
------------- Play on 38 B 49 WF , working on D14, D15 B10, Bee 12 B110. use 185 and 190
