That's very nice. Many of us like all brands of old tractors, but this is an Allis Chalmers forum.
Maybe a generic antique tractor group (like Yesterday's Tractors) would be more suited for posts like this? I just don't want to see our AC forum changed to everyone posting other brands. Just my opinion.

| Nice to see an old timer still earning it's keep!! Those IH tractors were a good work horse, just like our Allis tractors. |

Must be nice loose and loamy soil, where I grew up a 2 bottom would have stopped a Farmall C dead in its tracks. ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

I was rather surprised myself at how well it was handling them. What amazed me was how the engine would pull down low enough that you could count the fan blades and one would swear it had died; and, it would hit again and keep on coming; those engines must have one heck of a bottom end. As for the ground, just look around in the photos; it is what we around here would call a flat-woods. It is on top of a high ridge. That whole neighborhood was covered in thick timber forty years ago and was quite swampy; just about everything around there was tiled several years ago to dry it up. When I was a kid, my father bought 200-acres of swampy ground just a few miles from where those photos were taken. Everybody said he had bought something he would be sick of; it was covered in timber with water standing everywhere. He sold the big veneer timber for about five times what he paid for the farm and still had all the rest of the timber to sell. Once the trees were gone, he channeled and tiled it and dried up those swampy fields to where they would grow Timothy Hay taller than the tractor and corn taller than the wagon.
