cool...Thanks for posting...Dale

Those are really cool pictures
The real question, anyone look familiar in there?

Thanks Tim NH for posting these. They were from an old email from Alan Jones, his mom - Nan Jones started OAN

Alan Jones , we owe him a DEBT of gratitude. When everything went into the dumpster he recognized the destruction of a world of agricultural heritage and went dumpster diving. He saved literally tons of info - most has been posted on line.

Most were PO'd about losing the company and could care less - he recognized the value of the history. Thanks Alan.

Jan Jocham on FB has great stories of working at Allis,, very interesting stuff- thanks for the pics! Seems they really were very serious about doing it right at the time in manufacturing of the 70,s great tractors!

Thanks for sharing.

Very interesting pictures

I bet there were "0" imported parts. Can't be done today no matter what color.

Thanks for sharing those pictures. The fellow doing the painting doesn't seem to have much of a respirator. Looks like the masks we had to wear for the covid.

The painter at CEI Equipment wore the same thing in the 90’s and he smoked to boot. The “paint booth” was awful. Turn on a fan and the room would freeze in winter.How he lived to retire is beyond me.

... and he was probably spraying paint with lead in it.

Stan, yes that green machine was for testing the various pressures of the hydraulic and transmission circuits. You can see that they are checking pto pressure and remote outlets pressure. They could likely check any or all of the various pressures and flow if needed. It appears the there are a couple of rods attached to the power director clutch valve for engaging the inching spool and high-low valve by hand. The picture of the 200 rear end clearly shows a table with several power director clutch assemblies waiting to get installed.

These are really amazing photos, good save!
