 Topic: Cleaning garage leads to photo op
Posted: 03 Jul 2011 at 9:21am |
I needed to clean the area of the garage where I work on the RC. It is a lot easier to move around with a couple tractors out of the way so when I took them out I decided to line up a couple.   Then I thought I might as well drive the G over there too.  Then I couldn't resist towing the RC into the line-up too even without steering.    The line-up left to right: 1949 G, 1958 IB, 1939 RC, 1950 WF, 1944 WC, 1956 WD45 Diesel.

Do it again when the RC is done and you've got a calandar picture. Sharp lineup.

They must reside in a good size garage to hold all of them.

The mower deck I think is a Toro. It was very nicely done by the previous owner, it has live power from the engine so backing up or shifting is easy and the mower keeps going as long as you want it to. I can take no credit for it, I bought it at an auction drove it off the trailer and mowed the lawn.

I love the looks of that massive stack on the WD45 diesel. I don't know what it is about them but I think they make a tractor look tougher. I also have to agree with Scott in that you have got the collection that most AC fans would die for... the WF, WC, RC, G, and WD45 diesel...whew!

If it is not raining and not too hot we will do a front yard line up of our tractors on the 4th of July. It has been a tradition every since Nick has been big enough to steer a tractor. We used to play tractor show when he was a little guy. Dave.

Yes, the IB is still original paint. I like it that way, there are several things I want to work on when I get time but for now I don't plan on painting it.

No, I bought this RC at an estate auction by Milaca it was the only Allis Chalmers on the sale if I remember. The engine and all sheet metal was there, it only had one tire though and that was flat and not on a correct wheel.

Great picture Tom. Be careful unless Mrs Tom likes tractors too. Mine looks at them as burning piles of $100 bills...

Fantastic Lineup! Only thing wrong with it is that it's in the wrong place, LOL! Needs to be in My yard, LOL! If you ever decide to get rid of that 45 diesel, keep me in mind.

Nice pics Tom. I remember the first day we got a computer I found all your pics of the WD 45 diesel restoration. I spent hours looking through them even though I was just looking for some info on a B.

Tom, you always do a heck of a job on your restorations! I really like the 2nd pic, the IB and WF look good! Hows the sheet metal on the RC going? Looks great so far.

As always, the Foss lineup is exquisite! They look great Tom! Almost the same lineup I have in tractors except for the 45D. Nice toys!

I wish I could tell of progress on the D17 Industrial but if it had been in the picture there would just have been a pile. It is in the garage though and not getting any worse at least.
The RC is S/N RC2211 with engine R 2238 G. The sheet metal is coming along; I have one gas tank as can be seen that one has a new liner in it and the outside sealed and ready for paint. The radiator shroud I have about ready for paint too. The hood needs work as it is quite boogered up around the exhaust hole, I am going to try and fix it though. The fenders are shot and will need replacing, at least I'm not feeling up to trying to do anything with them.
