| Great work Tom!! I thought about you today. I was walking around the farm here in southern Illinois and saw many a allcrop used cylinder bar used as a fence post and had to chuckle!!! A little rubber was still on some of them!! You should charge more since they have many uses!!! Ryan |

At $62.50 each, (expensive fence post ya think?!) My customers would probably say they are paying enough....but if you want to pay more, feel free!
On a side issue,,,,my California machine order been finalized. I am going to create a stationary thresher out of one. No header, will fab a chute for feeding the crop, and a foldup deck to stand above the concave. Also some shielding from the belts. Due in August. I think I will prototype my new road speed axles and rim/tire on this one.

This is really neat - I like seeing the All-Crop built up step by step. It really lets you see what it's made out of and how it works. Thanks for posting pictures. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

| My father was telling me about a AC dealership in Staunton, Illinois he hung out at as a youth. He said before harvest season they had a pile of cylinder bars and canvases about 6 foot high in the parts department!! The fence posts were the old worn out bars!! Ryan |

Tom, Your work is very impressive. Of course at the factory it took what, 20 -30 minutes to build an all crop? They did have all the parts and lots of labor though.
