Found this brochure in old desk in old farm house. Iv seen those brochures before so that’s not what I’m talking about. It had my great uncles name address on it which is where it is. And my grandfather’s dealership address on it. But gramp would not have sent it. You can see the dealership from the house. Pretty much same property. My uncle bought new tractor and equipment from gramp. Did Allis Chalmers send these out to people who bought equipment. like agco used to send out Farm Life magazine. And if so how many other brochures would have been sent.  Like I said Iv see these brochures before but thought the addresses were interesting. Thanks

That D19 with the 5-furrow plow sure looks good even today. Must have been impressive in those days.

Mikez, that is a great AC “color photo” brochure. Thanks for sharing photos of it. Per my collection of AC brochures, those that include their original AC dealership’s business info (family name & address), it is usually “ink stamped” on front or back page. As a kid, I’d try to catch a peek into dealerships’s shop when a mechanic opened door to parts counter. Then I might get a quick glimpse of which models were being repaired/serviced. Otherwise, I’d be checking out the dealership latest brochures in their display racks. All the while, Dad was getting parts at parts counter. I don’t ever remember Dad receiving brochures in the mail. The AC Landhandler magazine was always in our mail though. Per the mail, most if not all farm publications(Prairie Farmer, Farm Journal, Successful Farming, etc,,,) had loads of AC “artwork ads” or “color photo inserts stapled into publications. Yes, I had to ask Dad if he was done reading that issue before he’d allow me to unstable those beautiful color photo inserts from publication, rendering the rest loose. DrAllis your AC brochure dating is spot-on. |

I don't remember the Fram Life magazine, but I remember The Landhandler magazine from the late 60's or 70's.

That's very neat. D19 was my very first Allis Chalmers tractor, over 30 years ago. My love for it is what lead me to still have it plus a couple handfuls of other orange tractors and equipment now, lol! Darrel |

| Now that's one of those hidden gems must of us cross our fingers in hoping to come across. Thanks for sharing Mike. It's neat to see things like this when you own a particular model piece of equipment. |

Very Cool. I have a bunch of these as well that I have bought off of EBAY over the years. I have all of mine in a binder. I pull them out from time to time and go through them. Neat to look at. The blue colored one on the D17 shows the optional low pressure/hi volume hydraulics kit you could get for the Series I-III tractors. Never seen one in person-only in this book.

| I have that piece of advertising literature too, Don. It seems the only information on that optional belt pulley drive system was in that advertising book and repair parts book. Nothing was ever listed in the official service manual. I'm sure the West Allis tractor sales dept realized the old A-C high pressure system had run its course for some people and it was surely hard to attract new competitive customers without 2-way low pressure hydraulics. By 1962, the farming community had one full year of the Deere 3010/4010 tractors under their belt. IH was feverishly working on their new 706/806 models and I can only imagine A-C was working on the mighty One-Ninety, while the D-21 was getting close to release in 63. |

Right on. On one of my facebook groups, someone has one of the pumps for that system for sale. At first I thought it was just a series IV pump, but after looking at it, its the pump for the optional belt pulley setup. they want 750.00 for it It would be "dead power", but for what its worth if you had a D series belt pulley, you could make one of those systems yourself without too much trouble. ------------- Experience is a fancy name for past mistakes.

| I see two design flaws with that after-thought system. #1. it isn't "live". #2. It was (memory) 15 or more GPM's which was double what would have been acceptable. |
