Wow, 37, those are awesome!! thanks!!
I never really thought about just how big the plant was, but dang, no wonder they named the city after the company! WOW!
What type of tractor/engine is that, the second to the last picture? Can anyone read what the sign says hanging from the ceiling?

That's one heck of a drop hammer. Can you imagine how hot it would be working that chunk of steel in the summer time. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Sorry about that, I just saw them in the past and saved them in my AC folder along with about 600 other AC/Gleaner pics. They make one hell of a screen saver. LOL ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

I don't know what tractor they are building. If I had to guess I would say a B, C, or CA. Now I do know that the sign hanging there says "Let's make every motor a better motor." ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

Is it possible to get big images of these. I worked at WAMO in the early 70's and remember a lot of this. It was my 1st real industrial job and I'd love to put up some of these photos.
Thanks,
Bruce

Hey Bruce. Glad you got the link!
Jeremy or Austin, can either one of you guys tell Bruce how to get some images out of the pics here that he can put up on the wall? I would like to figure out how to do the same with some pictures I have. ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |
