1961 Allis Chalmers D12

This is a 1961 Allis Chalmers D12,  S/N: 2320, she has 1,913 hours on the tach since new. In her history, a tin can on the muffler was blown off in the wind, and the rain filled up the number one cylinder with water, the farmer tried to start it by pulling it with another tractor which severely bent the connecting rod. 

When we got her, she was in terrible shape rusty missing parts and really needed a full restoration. After about five years of restoration and countless dollars, this is our end result.
