Does anyone have any dealership or delivery photos of new W series and D series tractors when they were brand new?
Thought maybe this could start an interesting thread. Edited by AC WD45 - 18 Oct 2024 at 6:15am |

What an excellent request, which would be very interesting viewing for Members. I remember our 1957 D17 arriving shinny and new and our WD 45 departing as a trade in on the deal. Later it was a D15 II in 1967 and a 185 in 1975. All tractors were delivered to our farm by the Dealer. I don't know the delivery mode to the Dealer. Here is an artist rendering of some beautiful Allis Chalmers tractors at a siding in Town on a Flatcar ready for Dealer/Customer pickup. I have it hanging in my garage! The picture was Allis Chalmers ad in a farm publication, probably in the mid/late sixties. I purchased the picture from an eBay supplier, who probably clipped it out of the magazine The picture is on page 91/92 of "AC Tractor Ads 1957-1985", by Tim Putt ( an excellent publication) This is the best I can do, but it would sure be great to see some real photo's |

I would hope that Bill Long would see this thread..... He has a lot of pics and a LONG memory on these tractors. Hopefully he'll see it. He was on here a month ago. Maybe if you add his name to the title??

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Dad wishes my grandfather took more pictures. Said when he was a kid they would go to the local train crossing where there used to be a small station with dock. Unload the new Allis Chalmers tractors and drove them back to his dealership for himself and other area dealers to pick up. Edited by Mikez - 18 Oct 2024 at 7:11am |
