I have recently received possession of my grandfathers “old
Allis”
It is original and running well in good working order
I plan to use it to rake hay this season
I had a couple of photos taken with him and the tractor on
his 100 th birthday ( he is active and still lives on the farm )
quite a guy!
Made for some great photos with four genarations
He traded in the WC and bought the WD brand new .It lived in
the long shed behind all the horse gear with a fiat 615 parked in front of it
and then later model johnnys hiding it from view
I remember cutting hay with pop on the mudguard and feeding
out until the fiat turned up and it was parked up I loved the Allis and used to
crank it over every time I visited with the handle. It was promised to me and I
liked the fact it was safe in the shed
I came home after working in the norther territory to
discover my dad had given it to a cousin of his
He has no interest in machinery at all
I have worked on getting it back ever since and now have it
back home
Thought you might like the story
Cheers
Nick
