Andrew, thanks for sharing!! Glad you were able to take the time to play and take us along. I would guess you were around 8 or 10 years old when you helped taking that to the local show. Glad it left a memorable impression on you and were able to gain posession of it.
Good for you.I had two of them got one from neighbor and got one just so if I needed parts.they sat in barn for years so I sold them now I wish I still had them.thanks for sharing Andrew.❤
I'm thinking about resurrecting an Allis Chalmers All Crop 66. It won't have a corn head but I'll be able to thrash oats and rye. One of the down sides of going with 30 inch rows is I'll be pretty much limited to a 4400 or 4420 or a 325 New Idea with a shelling unit which is probably the route I'll end up taking just because of cost and easy maintenance. I worked for a guy who used a 324 picker sheller. Even after I quit working for him i was there running his picker or sheller every fall. The 4020 Power Shift is what we used on both pickers. Sometimes I borrowed it to shell my corn. I had a 730 diesel which handled it good but I wouldn't have wanted anything smaller on it. My 730 had more snot than the 3020s i was accustomed to using. I really enjoy seeing this old equipment running. I really enjoyed using some of it myself and I know i will enjoy picking ear corn tomorrow. Hopefully it will be a nicer day than the drizzle we have been getting for the last two weeks.
