Our Allis Chalmers History |
|
|
| The First Allis Chalmers and tractor our family ever owned was a 20-35 which was used to run a Advance Rumly Thresh Machine. In 1938 a brand new WC was bought for plowing and cultivating. In the 1950's the 20-35 and thresh machine were sold and a used WD was bought for the farm. The WD didn't stay too long when it was traded for a new D-14. The WC was soon traded off for a cultivator for the D-14. In 1962 a D-17 Diesel was purchased with a B-1 lawn mower. Sadly around this time the Allis Chalmers dealer closed and our family switched to John Deere. The D-14 was traded for a 3020 the D-17 was traded for a 4030 and the B-1 was also traded for a John Deere 110 lawn mower. But this wasn't the end of the orange in our family after a 20 year break a 1955 WD-45 was purchased from the original owner's wife. We still have it today for raking and running the auger. |
