I am in Belgum near Brussels In the town of Zaventem, doing construction work, this is a mission project through our church and I would like to say I found a AC over here, first time in europe, alot different than western washington, our history goes back 150 years, I walked into a building that was 400 years old, Great to see.

Ken, if can come over to Holland you're welcome at our place. it's just a big step from Belgium and you are in another little country. How long are you in Belgium?
Belgium has 2 big "collectors" who buy tractors all over the world and sell them here in Europe or where they can. OrangeKiwi has give already one. The other one is in the small place 'Meeuwen'. if you look at there website http://www.happyoldiron.com - www.happyoldiron.com you can see a huge list with tractors and implements for sale.

I went to that happyoldiron.com website, and clicked on other tractors for sale. There's a few allis's on there but what really cought my eye was the Eimco Power Horse. Looks alot like an allis thats in norms book in the section, the ones that got away.

There was one at the Coming Home GOTO. The owner had a trailer with seat hooked to it and was given rides.
