Most owners luck enough to find them selves steward of an Allis Chalmers A have been contacted or at least in the know of the gentleman in question. My father bought parts from him at some point in the 80s... I was wondering what the reaction would be to this... |

| I'm more in your court Fred than anything else. There was many a derogatory comment made about drilling, for lack of a better word, us MN guys on parts in the early 90s. I'll be going to buy cheap if anything... |

Never bought anything from the man, but he seemed like a nice enough fellow. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour of his collection when I was there. That would have been mid to late 90's. If that collection goes away that means there will no longer be a "Washington AC"!!! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Is this going to be a total liquidation selling absolute or just an "inventory reduction"?\ -John |

OK, What's hideing out there in Kansas? Did some Googling and says something about the World's largest Allis Chalmers tractor collection ? Museum? Found a picture that shows the aforementioned standing in front of a 6-12, a L?, and some others. Google maps shows a whole yard full of stuff?

I only met Ernie once, at the Orange Spectacular. He seemed like a sociable fellow, his parts were pretty much priced to market as far as I could tell. He wasn't gonna give anything away though. .....So in that respect he's not unlike a lot of others who post here.... Can't fault them for that.
It would be an interesting auction to attend to say the least.

I notice in the article that he claims to own the only propane D 17 wheatland. In the posts about that tractor a few days ago, didn't someone say there were a few dozen made? May have to go to that sale! ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |

| Sometime when we are being sociable let me tell you the story about the day I spent with Ernie, Paul Pelton, Jack Gustafson and Norm Meinert driving across Minnesota! A few minutes spent with Ernie are not enough! LOL you have to have him captive with someone like Paul Pelton to ........stir up the conversation as it were! LOL I have never laughed so hard, even Norm Meinert was smiling. At the time I think Ernie was show a list of 300 tractors or more that he had available for sale. |

Seems like there was a Gathering Of the Orange in Washington Ks back in the 90's. I always wanted to go check out his museum. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford |

| The model that is listed as a 18-30 serial # 7810 IS NOT A 18-30,IT IS a 1926 year 20-35 Longfender. I seen this tractor in person 2 years ago when I picked up my L model 15-25 tractor that I bought from Alan Jones. |

Wow, I didn't realize he had a Wauk WC. I wonder if this is a Waukesha XAH engine transplanted into a '34 WC, or if it has an authentic '33 serial number? The SN was not listed.

OK, Time to broaden my knowledge. Why are their two 30-60 tractors listed but I cant find a reference to this Model in Norm's bible or Terry Dean's Data book ? Oh, and I noticed several of the serial numbers/years are not correct as listed. ------------- Randy Freshour,Member Indiana AC Partners, http://www.rumelyallis.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.rumelyallis.com |

That green 6-12 w/LeRoi engine used to belong to a friend of mine, Allan Beall. He sold it at auction about 8 years or so ago. I helped him put those steel bands on the wheels so it could be paraded. He also had a plow for it, but I dont see that mentioned.I drove it at the Indiana State Fair on Farmer's Day about 1985 or so. I always wondered where it went. (Im 99% sure thats it) ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

| My wife and I were at the GOTO in Washington, Kansas. I have never bought from Ernie so will not comment on that. But I have found he and his wife Loretta to be delightful people to know and speak with. His AC museum was and hopefully will continue to be a great experience for any AC fan. Bob@allisdowneast |

If that W Waukesha - WC rearend does not have a 1933 serial Number, why try to sell it as that. Anybody that can read a book is going to know it is not real?

The 6-12 w/ Leroi engine is not the tractor which belonged to Allan Beal.
Allan Beal bought the tractor at the Gus Ward auction, about 1985, and then sold it about 8 years ago. The tractor was purchased by Gilbert Vust and is in the museum at Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. The bidding for the tractor was done by Dale Haymaker on Gilbert's behalf. |
