Of some of the guys that used to be on here. I sure miss ol Shameless and his crazy stories. There are several more that I'd like to see posts from or about. Any that's enough for now.

And from the "new boy", I'll say that I'm sorry to have missed some of these fellas. From reading some older posts Shameless was the "life of the party" alright.

God rest ya fella, 73 out

They are just in another part of the shop where we cant see them! But they are still there! All these guys contributed to the forum in positive ways. Don is helping me get through my current Allis CA project too!

Regards,

Chris and Cheryl

You know, I've made a lot of connections here when I was more active in the early 2010s, a lot of those guys are gone now. Though I have been running into quite a few on Facebook as of late, Ted Buisker and Larry Wilson to name a couple. I am thankful to see this forum alive and healthy though. It really shows the timelessnes and the strong love for Allis Chalmers. Most forums that were popular in this forum's heyday are long dead and gone, but this one is still here chugging along like an old reliable tractor. Thank you Allis Chalmers family, for making this such a great community.

Just got a new phone and what a pain it is to try and get usernames and passwords straightened out . Have met many past members here at shows and many say that is why they are not on here . too hard to get back on after changing emails , providers etc . miss a lot of people who used to be on here and wonder what became of them . Still the best website on the internet.

Yes,,,,,

Curt (Dale - ole Shameless) Jensen was one of the reasons I tried to get on here as much as possible. Talked to him quite often and bought him a few 'things' that he could play/prank with. One I remember best was a small pfart machine. I'd bet he had a ball with it.

Another that was a lot of fun was chaskaduo - Elliott Chaska. Another fun guy that was taken too early from us.

And of course Brian Rees, our favorite Aussie. The pics he posted!!!!!! I'll bet desertjoe is still gnawing his palms from Brian..

Yep, the bantering was a LOT of fun and I'm glad that I was a part of it!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

Fond memories of those who have passed on or dropped out is what makes us "family".

For years I had a magnetic calendar stuck on my fridge that Brian Reese had made for me as a prize in some little contest he put up on here. It had a picture of my '28 Allis 20-35 on it. It's still around somewhere!
