Gentlemen, Thank you so much for your greetings. I cannot tell you how much I enjoy being a part of this Forum.
Working with my father in his ground breaking dealership when Allis Chalmers was almost unknown was a relatively short but very important part of my life. It was some of the most meaningful and unforgettable time I spent. I had a WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY. Thank you all for being such an important part of it. Good Luck! Bill Long

Early Happy Birthday Bill! And while I'm at it Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I have a couple B's one nice and shiny, the other not so much. The first tractor I ever rode was a late 30's B, still have a picture of me on it at 4 or 5 years old. Thank you for all your input over the years and I hope you will continue to grace us with your presence for many years to come!

The Allis B came out in 1937, and Bill Long arrived in 1933, so........ That means that the Allis B is the best thing to come along since Mr. Bill Long!!!!!
They are both wonderful additions to our world.

Bill, Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas a little early. It has been an honor meeting you and communicating with you. As we both age, opportunities to meet again in person may be few or none. But we will have the memories of meeting in Wisconsin many years ago. Bob@allisdowneast.
