Unique old AC 45 and another old JD A
I know some of you really enjoy old tractors so I thought I would share it with you. My aunt is getting the big d and it isn't in Dallas () and is selling off everything they had. My cousin told me he was cleaning the yard up and I knew they had a really good running John Deere A. When I called my aunt to talk to her about it, she said they also had a weird Allis Chalmers fork lift thing. That peaked my interest.
I went over there today and sure enough. They have what I think is an Allis Chalmers WD rear loader tractor. I personally never have seen one. At first I figured it was just a farmer converted deal. But the more I looked at it, the more manufactured pieces I saw. Supposedly the guy they got it from said there were only 4 or 5 in Iowa and they all came from 1 dealer. My Dad is buying it to use on his place while his skid loader is broken. I'll buy it later to repaint with one of the kids for a 4H project. It fires right up, doesn't smoke and will lift a large round bale but some additional weight needs added to the rear to keep it down.

Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
