HI
Finally registered tonight. though I have been reading the discussion page quite a while. I work maintenance in a ductile iron foundry, and play farm in my spare time. Don't have much spare time between work, 2yr old grandson and the farm. My wife and I are the proud owners of two Allis-Chalmers tractors. They are both family tractors. The older one is a 1936 AC U that my wife's grandfather bought new. At the time our local dealer was the Roy Dunham Co. in Wellsboro PA. The second is a CA that my grandpa bought in 1973 to replace the 1952 he bought new. The original CA we had burned when our dairy barn burned in August 1973. My wife and I were blessed to be able to buy the small farm I grew up on from grandma before she died. We sell hay, a couple beefs and a few butcher pigs each year. Enough to keep busy , but not really be profitable. But I really enjoy the seat time. A great stress reliever. Thank's for all the enjoyable mreading, John

Thanks for the welcome. I'm kind of challenged on picture taking ,much less
on posting. Will try to try it hopefully soon. The Foundry I work in is the
HMAC in Lawrence Twp. Started at Ward's in Blossburg. I was able to bid to
the present factory "BC". (before concrete was poured on the floors) We
love the Allis's , but must confess to appreciate all brands . Especially pre-
1980. I do hope to meet members. John

| john....i was there many years ago, but haven't been up on labor day week-end in a long time. if memory serves me right, they start their pull with a pretty heavy weight class. i'll be up this week-end with a bunch of friends for a week-end of golfing, eating, drinking, etc. come november i'll be up a lot for bear and deer. a few years ago i brought one of my tractors along and stopped and pulled at trout run on my way home on sunday. alan |
