Where are all the tractors?

1st thing, Trev, I'm glad you made it through everything you've been through & wish you continued good health.  That other aneurysm needs to just chill.  Not time to go play with all the Allis tractors in the sky yet.  Have the "Illinois AgriNews" classifieds here.  1981 AC 7080, 5000 total hours, 105 hours on total engine overhaul.  $8000. obo, 217-491-6224.  AC 7040, 700 hours on overhaul, $12,000.  618-327-6714.  (Obviously that's high priced unless it's in beautiful condition.)  "Farmworld" has some ads, too.  AC 7050, new cab interior, good radial Firestone tires, rear weights, duals, 5000 hours, $6500. obo.  419-852-7372.  A-C 210 fender tractor, like new tires, 4800 hours, all original, $12,500.  765-489-3939.  IL Farm Bureau's "Farm Week" lists an A-C 7020, with duals, no price listed, 618-262-6600.  Everyone has his/her favorite auctioneer but I follow Aumann Auctions in Nokomis, IL.  They have a person on staff who helps arrange trucking for anything sold by Aumann.  217-563-2523.  They have sales all over the U.S. & overseas.  Let them know what you're looking for.  Good luck and may you have many more healthy years on old planet Earth.

Right on, thank you gentlemen. I did not think about auction companies who have a loading and shipping master, that might be interesting...I am gonna have a look at all those units you have listed. John, thats hilarious, retired with two jobs, sounds like my brother. Thanks to Chris at Olds as well.

Just a few pics of the D15, as bought, and a couple of progress shots.  One of the motor after cleaning and tuning.   The last one I was changing the seal in the bottom of the steering box.  A lot of commotion for one seal.

Hang in there trev, glad you are still with us, It seems to go in spurts, when your looking theres none when your not there all over just the way it is, keep looking and pretty quick you will be trying to decide on which one to buy.

There is a 7050 for sale in the classifieds

Trev, you may want to check kijiji under Regina. There's a guy near you that has a mint 7040 and an average 7050 listed.

Yeah secret is out on the Allis: they are a decent used tractor so they are in demand.  Was at a sale locally on Sat to watch a 4W220 in decent shape well for $17000 with 7300 hrs.  Nice tractor. and wish it was living at my place.   Here is a long shot if you are in Southern AB:  A 7010 sits in a yard north of Barnwell AB.  A friend of mine farms the land and as such the tractor has sat for a decade or more.    From the No 3 highway go straight north through town till you get to a paved road 1 mile north of town.    From intersection look to yard site to the Northeast.  Tractor likely still sitting next to shed.  Owner is in his 80's.

www.searchtempest.com its a craigslist search engine, type in "allis" dont bother with "Chalmers" because people always butcher that, so you may not find them all.

Ya need to watch the online auctions...8070 FWA sold for like $11500 on big iron yesterday..in western NE.. For that price I think one could afford some freight...for some reason the 7-8000's series seem to be going on the low side..

Love your attitude Trevman. If you ever get tired of playin carpenter around the house , or playin with Orange tractors, you could make it as a comedian I'm sure.
