 Topic: Lost another Allis man....
Posted: 22 Jun 2016 at 7:02pm |
|
My dad passed away yesterday at the age of 91. He had a good life, successfully raised 14 kids...and lived on the farm up until the last month of his life. He kept Anderson Equipment in Butte NE and McMeen Equipment in Gregory SD in business back in the 50's and 60's buying Allis equipment. He had me on the WD45 diesel at 6 years old spreading manure, and instilled the Orange spirit in me at a young age. We never had a bigger AC tractor than that, but we sure put the hours on the 3 diesels we had. We also had 3 rotobalers, two 4 row lister planters, front mount 4 row cultivator, 9' sc blade, 3 forage choppers, a feeder wagon, couple of 3 bottom plows, 212 tandem disk with traction booster hitch and some other orange I am sure I missed. Always the conservative one, I'm sure he chose this date as I was already headed back to SD for my 40th high school reunion and mom's birthday....RIP.
