How many Pre 1920 tractor still out there

This is My model 18-30 ,year 1919 withch I have everything to restore except having  the sheet metal done.

In one way you are correct on interest of older ones to younger generation ,BUT you would be surprized of the collectors that have BIG INTEREST in the old ones .AS SO MANY WORRY ABOUT THE DEATH OF  AC THEY FOR GET WHERE  AC STARTED.

Fred where did you get that 18-30 from

My 18-30 came out of Mn.  .I think Doug Rote got it from N or SD.

 It came from a little town north of Devils Lake North Dakota named Munich. Not far from the Canadian boarder. Can you even date the 6-12s or 10-18s by serial # because of missing Allis Chalmers records ???????

Just let us know if you find anything.

your right , age of person has alot to do with what you collect. when I first got into going too shows & collecting. I didn't consider D series or newer tractors collectable or antiques. They were like a kid in the candy store of new tractors. we never had anything that new.

Fred, its because you have more money then us young'ns!!!!!!!!!

Gordan Wickland out of Stanwood WA. area has a restored 6-12 that is 1919. He had it at the GOTO in Tulare CA. in 2008.

 Have any 10-18's survived?

   This is a good site for the older tractors:

Some day I would like to own earlier allis tractor. But being born in 1975  I see an lot of interest in the newer tractors i.e D series and number series. with people around my age. mosted of my friends think Iam nuts for buying up the older trators. They think if they can't go to the dealer or Steiner to get the parts it's too much work. Myself I like the thrill of the hunt. thxchuck

What year was #10633 model 6-12 tested?  Is this how you guys are dating these 6-12s or how? Just wondering.

There are a number of pre-1920 tractors around in collectors' hands, but AC machines from that time are very hard to find, certainly over here in the UK. I have some older stuff of other makes, but my earliest Allis-Chalmers is a 20-35 from 1929! As for the interest in early tractors, I think that we all start off with a machine which we remember from our youth, but as we get older, so our interest in older tractors grows. For me, it's anything which was designed to run on kerosene/tractor fuel - diesel just doesn't do it for me. I am equally interested in steel wheeled tractors and those on rubber, as long as they run on kerosene. I know that pre-1930's tractors have become expensive, but that's a reflection of the genuine and growing interest among collectors in these pieces of history. At our show at Newby Hall, we always have a big turnout of pre-1930's stuff and it is these which attract the crowds! We are all different and that's what keeps the old tractor movement so alive and vigourous. Mark my words - those of you who start with a 1950's diesel tractor as a young enthusiast will one day be trying to track down an 18-30 like Fred's. You read it first here!!
