One of my all time favorites and if driving really remote back roads anywhere and have someone with me, I usually tell them to "let me know if you hear any banjo music"!

Really nice to see a lot of familiar names. I joined about 2001 and have been a regular viewer since then. Being retired, I don't spend as much time around the computer as I used to do in the office. Whenever, I have a question this is where an answer can be found. Thanks for the memories and friendships that have happened because of this site.

I've been moderator for a few forum transitions. It honestly amazes me the size of the group. I have only had to issue a few sharp warnings and I think a total of 3 were kicked off. Says something about the quality of people here.

Looked at this site back in 96 on windows 95. and then in 98 was when I
finally started replying.. Looked at the wayback archive and seen a lot
of names I had forgotten, but do remember a bunch of the episodes that
have been mentioned in this thread.
Remember mr. pinky?
Think this is the third format now, isn't it? ... I know the Caterpillar site went through a change at least once.

Wish I could remember what year I found the original forum. I was at my daughter and son-in-laws and I would check in on their computer, probably in the mid 90's. There were about six posts a day and I was amazed. This morning, my wife and i went to our daughter and son-in-laws for Christmas breakfast but I checked in before we left home.
The Forum has been a great place to connect and to get advice. John, I agree - time for me to send in another donation. Bob@allisdowneast

I wuz workin at the JD construction store, they plunked a new puter on my desk and said "here ya go, play around with this", shorty I found Allis Chalmers.com, been here ever since, that wuz in the middle to late 90s. I would come to work, get everyone started for the day, do the time cards then get on the forum!!! Probably spend to much work time on here, but I would keep the link open all day on my puter so I could jump on and off quickly. Ive met so many great people on here, some are still good friends today. When I retired from Deere Construction in 11 I thought Id have lotsa time to be on here, but spent less time as I was always up and about instead of being at the desk all day. Still a great site, thanks Darin!!!

I'm late comin' on here, but I guess you can say I was one of the "old timers". I came on here around 99-2000'. Didn't post much, but read a lot. I remember when the forum changed over after a while that I was on here. Got to meet Fred & Butch, Glenn PA, Darryl Grams and his sons, Brad Hopwood, Bill Long, Bob D., Alan, Brian Rees, and of coarse Dave and Mark from across the Pond. Geez, there's so many of us here, its hard to remember! The jokes started flyin', and the next thing ya know we're like brother's and brother-in-laws round here. LOL! That chat room was a hoot sometimes. The laughter that came out of that alone would make ya cry in laughter. The good ole' days. And a lot of us, thank the good Lord are still here yet bustin' chops, talkin' Tractors, and still pals.

I started lurking in 05. I took a job out of town and had to stay late a couple nights a week as a company rep. Most of the time there was nothing going on so I typed Allis Chalmers in my computer and found this site. I don't remember when I started posting but I'm sure it didn't take long. I always talk too much and have an opinion. Seems like I always got sucked into political posts. I'm glad they have their own section now.
I've met several on here and enjoyed it very much. I was just at Mike's aka Sky high balloon earlier this week checking out his new F2.
It's been fun and hope everyone has a merry Christmas

I'm not sure when I happened upon the forum, I know it was the previous one as, for me, posting pics was much easier, thanks to Tony's late wife, Barb. I believe I've always been JohnCO so maybe someone has records going back that far. I didn't want to change over to the new forum but got over it and really enjoy the different topics. Never liked the political stuff when we were suppository talking AC stuff. Guess it's about time to make another donation to the forum fund!

I came on in late 1999 and remember that in the fall of the year that Okie would come up and hunt with skip and that would kept people busy for a week or so, also remember when Ted was kidding Brian Lindsay and myself posting back and forth and not using the phone because we live only five mile a part but it was long distant to call. some of the people the come to mind that are not on here is Barb C. what a wonderful person, Skip, Brain L. ( he was the follow that was in the train wreck and lived) Will M. Russ the last name slip my mind he live up by the guy that goes my Jim Jr. that think he know it all  just kidding Jim. I've know I've forgot a lot of people and I've met a whole lot of very good people on this forum that I call true friends and they know who they are. God bless all and have a Marry Christmas and a happy new year. Kenny L.

Guess I am more misfit  (slower) than I thought as I know I looked around the "old" forum before it was updated. But my start date is Nov 22 09 instead of Sept like the other folks.

Was interesting seeing comments about when new format began ,started seeing all the old timers began Sept 12 2009. Well almost everybody,has got to be one misfit at least in every bunch,in this case it was  Eldon I noticed. He got a head start by a day,maybe others I didn't see.
I think I got a confuser in 2006,got started in the Caterpillar world as I had joined there outfit in early 90's because of 2 friends and neighbors both gone now. So somewhere from 06 to when forum was up dated I wondered in here,because I remember having to learn to do things all over again.
Merry Christmas to all users or lurkers here.
And to help Leon a poke at  Shameless. poke poke and poke Hope this storm gets better as it goes east,or your not going to have anything to work your machine with,other than your old dry well. Weather guessers kept saying how hard it rained,a little short of a 1/2 inch for a all day rain,big storm if your a citydot I guess.

It's been a while, but the afternoon found me with some time.
I estimate I started dropping in around 2004 when I was about 12 or so and we started working on our B. I've met a lot of great people, learned a lot, been some neat places, and had some cool stuff over those 12 years thanks to the Forum.
"Real Life" has tied me down for the last number of years and I only occasionaly get the chance to drop by. The money now goes towards farming for real so theres not many AC Questions or paint in the stable much anymore.
