 Topic: New to the forum

I recently found the forum. I've been interested in old tractors for a while now and decided to take the plunge! I really like Allis Chalmers. They are classic American iron! So, I found this one a few miles for the house. $900 plus the guy delivered it on a flat bed. I'm looking forward to a slow restore. For the time being, it will be my new hayride tractor.
