Took Allis For A Ride

[Paystar]

Now that I finally got the new rims and tires on, took her out for a ride around the property on my bush roads. Then drove a mile down the road to my neighbors for a visit. The old girl is still a blast to drive. Brakes are strong too, will lock the rears at any speed.

Nice!
Enjoy!

Nice, what's in the road?

My property owner, LOL A one year old brindle boxer/mastiff.

Those CA's are gutsy for their size. They also have a very high pressure hydraulic system, note the size of the hydraulic lift cylinder. Take care of those rear spin out rims, most have been eaten up by calcium chloride.

Yes, that's what happened to mine. I knew they were rotten and I had new ones I got from an Allis collector in Michigan, so I just kept using it until one day one rim just crumbled to the ground, LOL

I didn't load the new tires. If I go pulling I'll just use steel weights.

She'll get fixed right back up in time. I enjoy that tractor.

Man, you've got me wanting an antique tractor.

Thanks everyone, and yes tacticalturnip...they are fun and ADDICTING.
But at least way cheaper than muscle car or classic truck collecting nowadays.

It's fun going to the fairs and parades. Lots of very nice, friendly, laid back people. Not like some of the car show crowd where they stand around looking like they are angry and posing like they are God's gift because they have an old car. LOL

Had her out again today and spent the day o my trails on my property with my dog Millie.

 

[EddieWalker]

Does Millie chase you, or do you chase Millie?

 

[Paystar]

Does Millie chase you, or do you chase Millie?

She's like all other dogs.....has to lead, LOL Then occasionally takes off into the bush chasing squirrels then flies out like lightning in front of me again. That's why her tongue is out panting in every picture. She's full of energy. LOL

Reminds me of the Allis grandpa had. My first tractor memory was riding on his lap on his Allis. He had 2 other tractors, but drove Allis most often. His youngest daughter (of 7) is named Alice. Not sure if he named her after his tractor, but it probably had some influence.

You never know eh, LOL

AC's were pretty good tractors. Even these little CA's pull above their weight class. And it's so simple and basic.

 

[tacticalturnip]

Millie's tongue may be longer than the combined length of the Allis' steering shafts.

My daughter took some more pics today with her better camera. And I made some yard art with one of the old Allis rims. What you can't see is the other side where there is no rim left around the valve stem from the calcium, LOL

Fall Color already? We finally dropped into the 60's at night, but it's still in the 80's during the day and I'm still mowing the grass.

Nice pup and I bet she don't leak any fluids either, like old tractors do...

Thinking back to my younger days, decades ago, I fondly remember taking Alice for a ride in the backseat of my dad's Merc. She had excellent brakes as well and smelled good too....

We hit the 40s last night up here. It's only 74 now. I like it.
