on Saturday. Took a 9-1/2 hour ride with my BIL. Went to the other side of the state to meet these GREAT guys! THANKS so much to Wiplowboy (Jim Hilger) and Alex09(WI) (Alex Wocking)! Got to see Jim's extensive collection (might have talked him out of one of them). A great collection of working tractors and a bunch of the little ones too!! He has a Case 2-row planter that I forgot to take pics of.  I've got a cousin who'd drool over it!! Spent a couple of hours visiting with this very nice and friendly man. You ever get a chance to get around to Custer, WI. send him a PM and JUMP at the chance to see his collection!Then to Cecil to pick up some cultivators for the C from Alex. He's got his Grampa's unstyled WC (I'm jealous). He's got some working A-C's too. He loaded me up with the 170. Had a good talk with him and got to see his A-C's too. Was probably only there an hour or so though. THANKS GUYS!! for the parts and pieces and the enjoyable talk and BEST OF ALL!!!....... Just meeting some other A-C enthusiasts! Now I have to go up to the farm and unload the (neighbors) trailer.  He needs it tomorrow...Also picked up a VERY good cab for a Gleaner. ALL the glass is there! I'll get a pic for later. Don't know what I'm going to do with it....(Creston)? ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

Make an outhouse or phone booth out of the cab, a place to sit with a view! Actually you can use it for both at the same time, just don't drop the phone down the hole!

Maybe a Gleaner cab could be mounted on my 230 Massey for winter use

What model is it for? Wanna help me graft it on my Super 100? Lol! I need a series 3 cab on my Super 100, complete with Tattletales, because I don't want to actually have to look around and make sure the combine is working. Lol |

I'll get you a (some) pics of it Creston. You can have it for what I paid for it. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

I've actually thought of that! Then paint a line inside the bin indicating half full, so I can tell at a glance what I've got!

That's ok, Ted. Appreciate it though! It might look a little gaudy on a Super 100 anyway, Lol! Unless....I put it on a early pre-Allis Gleaner "A" I might be getting soon! Lol!

I don't know what it was off of........I'll get some pics and you guys can decide what it's off of. I was in a hurry the other day and forgot to get pics. I THINK it has a tag on it...... I was thinking about putting it on my WD-45 or the D-17 ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

That would be neat! Would have to do some fancy glass work for the front, though. |
