 Topic: Grandpa's now my, D14
Posted: 02 Mar 2011 at 1:05pm |
Hello. First post. This forum is terrific. I'm a huge A-C fan (despite owning a M-F, which seems to be a very hated brand around here!). My grandparents and now uncles use Allis-Chalmers/AGCO equipment on their farm. My grandpa recently told me he was going to give me one of his retired Chalmers tractors (he has a D12, D14, D15, D17, G, WC, WD45 and 160 in his collection). The attached picture is his, soon to be my prized possession.

Jesse, That is a great start to the Orange fever that seems to go along with owning an AC tractor. Be verwy verwy careful, it can become habit forming. Charlie

Trust me, I have thanked him over and over. Having an A-C tractor alone means a lot to me, but to have one of my grandpa's, I can't even explain how much that means to me.

Welcome to the forum. That is a real nice looking D14. Hang on to that one from Grandpa. Some how they just seem to keep multiplying -- one is not enough - LOL

You are very fortunate to have obtained your GRANDFATHER's Tractor. That is one that will have a very special meaning to you and your family.
Great looking unit too. By the way it looks like an Industrial D series in the background. Clean well kept units.
Good Luck!

I'm somebody's grandson too. Can I have the little orange one in the background? I've wanted one like that for years
