Allis Chalmers

I haven't had a chance to look at most of these videos yet. But since this blog is raw material and since I lost the previous content of this posting when I did a Cntrl-Z, I'm going to publish the links this time.


Video of Harvey Engine plant remnants and a big crane removing a V-12 genset from the hospital. Learned about the Rumely A-C Heritage Center.

Farm Manufacture History Videos

I came across so many history videos that I spent my time collecting them. I haven't had a chance yet to look at any of them. And some of these may be redundant with links I have in other postings in this blog. In fact, one of the purposes of this blog is to sort out and organize the farming information. Now that Blogspot supports embeded videos, I'm trying that as a why to more quickly spot redundant video references.

Compilation of 200 videos

Compilation of 50 IH videos

I forgot I had this posting. I need to sort these into the appropriate section.

A 2:13 CaseIH video of stills to celebrate their 175th anniversary and then some video clips. Once again, I'm hoping that Facebook won't loose the video. And McCormick's 1831 is older than Case's 1842.
Doug Warters Come on guys, the majority of the retro stuff in this video is IH. I'm not denying IH's contributions to the current company, but this year is about CASE. Yet another massive marketing failure...

A video of how a "modern" IH 403 works.

20150907 2016 Sandusky County Restorers of Antique Power Show

Pictures from the 2016 S.C.R.A.P. show. We got there Sunday afternoon and some of the people were leaving. That was actually kind of good because this was the first time I had of catching John Deere's putt-putts in action so that you can hear their unique sound. I never heard of Cockshutt tractors until I went to this show. There was around a handful of them. I'll use the abbreviation "CS:" for them.

I should have looked closer at this line of green and red, I never heard of Farmall C before. Also, any McCormic is old and rare.
In case you ever wondered what was inside a tractor.

You can see a couple of the lot numbers in this picture.
As I said, people were packing up and going home, including us.


I assume the RVs are for the people displaying, but I could have easily spent more time here because this show has had the best variety of tractors that I have seen. At least I was able to catch a an hour at this one. I just happened to be in Perrsyburg that weekend so we went over to this show before checking out Fostoria on our way home.
