Hi folks, I am a newly registered user to this site, but have been reading for a while. This site is a very good source of information for people like me who don't know much about Allis, but should. I've been around this stuff for 15 years, but I wear "green underwear", so I never paid much attention to it. My father in law is a collector of AC and farmed with it all of his life. However, he is getting on in age and has decided to have an auction of all of his stuff. I get a lot of information on here as I research things for the sale. Now for the shameless plug: here is a link to the sale bill: http://www.farmauctionguide.com/cgi-bin/steffes.cgi?sec=v&type=c&id=steffes&anum=1280432139 - http://www.farmauctionguide.com/cgi-bin/steffes.cgi?sec=v&type=c&id=steffes&anum=1280432139
My name is Kyle and if any of you have any questions about things on the sale, feel free to contact me, my ph# is on the bottom of the sale bill. I live on the same farm as my parents in law and can get info pretty quickly.
Thanks

That is a screen covering the grille, I do not know the specific purpose. The fenders on the other B are for steel wheels, it has rubber on it now, but the steel wheels are here for it, I just have not dug them out yet.

Wow -- ya have a lot of stuff. I would love to be there, should be an interesting auction.
Sure wish it were closer, I'd be there in a heartbeat. As for your underwear - green is fine, it's the tractors we care about -- LOL. Glad you are looking at the site - good info on here.

I guess they were converted for the guys in the red river valley heavy gumbo soils, the 2 cyl jimmy just didn't have enough snort.

That is a stunning collection!!!!
Sometime before the sale, maybe around Sept. 1, I'd start a new thread entitled "Upcoming Auction: Huge Allis Chalmers Collection", or something like that.
You need to get more exposure for this sale. I'd be announcing it everywhere and anywhere that I could, even on non-AC websites.
That is one big collection!

Arlen hiked most of this stuff to the GOTO in Rollag MN back in 95 or 96 whenever it was. Took him like 25 trips.
I see he has a ad in the Old Allid News too.

About 6 to 8 years ago, I got a first hand look at Arlen's collection right at his place, guided by Arlen himself. Nothin short of amazing. Hope my ship comes in before the sale!! Darrel

Thanks for the list, have known Arlen for many years and was to his place about ten years ago, lots of stuff, will try to be there but not sure it will fit my schedule after GOTO Albery City, and welcome to this site.
