Allis Chalmers WD

02/10/2022 by ST Leave a Comment

I started pulling tractors when I was in junior high, starting out on my dad’s Farmall M. After a while I wanted my own tractor, and I knew I wanted an Allis Chalmers. We went to an auction and brought home this Allis Chalmers and she quickly was named ‘The Lil Allis’. She received a paint job from my dad, the old Allis Orange with the new Allis Orange flames coming off the grill going through the decal, and coming down the fenders.

We continued to pull throughout high school. When I went to college my dad continued to pull her while I was gone. One year he flipped it during a pull, after that she came home and sat in the shed until now. I decided I wanted to get back into the pulling game. We pulled her out, dusted off the cobwebs to reveal her custom paint job, and got to work. In this picture she is showing off her custom-made weight bracket in the front and in front of the rear axle, and the custom-made wheelie bars in the back. This Winter she will receive a whole new paint job that I’m excited to be part of. Won the weight class (3,750 lbs Farm Class) that I pull in with the WeakEnders Tractor Pulling Club this year.

“I purchased my Allis Chalmers WD that I found in Wisconsin because it had a factory loader. At the time I was living in Livingston, Montana and needed it for snow removal and landscaping after we built our home. This baby did the trick! Our 4 year old granddaughter loves to dig and scoop with the tractor too. The WD is back in Wisconsin as we sold the Montana home and moved back to be closer to family. I’m sure she will serve us many more years with parts from Steiner Tractor!” – Marc Dietsch


Get me to the church on time

Four years ago I refurbished my Allis Chalmers B 1949 tractor having sourced several parts from Steiner Tractor Parts. The Tractor was in complete disrepair; needing new valves, big end bearings, miners wick for the crank and replacement final drives. In total the restoration took three years to complete and now Allis is in show condition.

A year after completion, my daughter, Kirsty, was due to get married and asked if I would build a trailer to go on the back of the tractor to carriage her and the bridesmaids to the ceremony. Of course I said yes! 

The Wedding took place in Herefordshire, United Kingdom on the 10th of August and ended up being a wonderful day for all.

Tractor Time

10/09/2020 by ST Leave a Comment

I want to share with you a couple of pictures of completed projects done using Steiner parts.  The clock was made by my husband’s dad using old wood pallets, scrap black walnut wood, and tractor hood emblems my father-in-law ordered from Steiner representing all of my husband’s favorite tractors.  Keith did an excellent job on the clock, and we are so proud to display it in our home. 

My husband, Stacy, just finished the Massey Ferguson 165 restore using Steiner parts.  As you can see, it turned out great.


Glad to have Steiner to turn to for all of our tractor part needs.

Tractor Ride Sunday

09/21/2020 by ST 1 Comment

A few years ago, recognizing that a lot of local families had old tractors that they were restoring, my uncle decided to organize a “tractor ride” as a way to get local families together to socialize, have some fun, and enjoy driving them around the country roads.

Each year, he maps out a route and contacts some of the local families to arrange permissions for the route to go through a few farms to bypass some of the more traveled blacktop roads, and to have large enough places to stop for breaks and lunch.   When “tractor ride” Sunday (usually in October) rolls around, tractors start showing up at the Holy Martyrs of Japan Church’s gravel parking lot from all over. Some are hauled but most are driven….rain or shine. Many pull hay or grain wagons to haul families with their picnic lunches. It is truly a day for the whole family.

Around noon, my uncle Teddy climbs up on his Farmall, and leads the way, with everyone else falling in line behind him. To add to the fun and to raise a few dollars to support our country church, there is an optional poker run, where you can pay a few dollars a hand and draw a card at each of the scheduled stops, with the winner receiving half the money collected and the other half going to the church to be used where the current need is. 

There are all kinds of makes and models, new and old, and often several generations of family members driving them. The particular photo contains several members of my family. I took the photo from the back of the hay wagon being pulled by my husband and his Allis Chalmers WD45. The photo is of my daughter waving while driving her daddy’s Allis Chalmers D-14, with her uncle Chris behind her on his Case, her cousin on his Ford 901, and her grandpa Ron on his Case, with many other friends and relatives behind him. We never know what the weather will be like in Missouri, in October, but, that year we lucked out with cool temps, sunshine, and Fall colors! The perfect day in the country!

by Mark Kurth of La Porte County, Indiana.


Our home is on the National Register listed Forrester Farmstead in LaPorte County, Indiana. Allis Chalmers (previously Rumley) was an important manufacturer in La Porte before 1984, when the plan was shut down. When we needed a tractor to help with restoration work at the farm, an Allis D14 was a natural choice – being a hometown favorite. Our tractor has never been apart and still works as good as it did when it was build in 1957. The post-hole auger is an original AC implement.”

Kameron’s Tractor Education

06/04/2020 by ST 5 Comments

Allis Chalmers CA
Kameron and his Allis Chalmers CA

I wanted to share a neat story about my now 13 year old son, Kameron.  Last summer he wanted a project mower, he wanted to rebuild a lawnmower engine so we found one with a broken piston.  

With the assistance of a family friend and Kameron, they honed, rebuilt and replaced gaskets.  He sold that mower for a $500 profit.  Then purchased his second mower and did some minor adjustments and sold it for a $1100 profit.  

All of this was for his next purchase, his 1953 Allis Chalmers CA, his pride and joy.  He has done a lot to it with some help of new friends far and wide.  He re-wired the tractor and put in a new fuel line and fuel filter.  With much generosity of Titan wheel in Quincy Il they took the rims and hubs and rebuilt and painted.  All in line with his next project, he wants to repaint and restore.  

This summer he has been given 4 mowers to which he has fixed and flipped to a $1000 profit.  He has also started a small popcorn plot and bee/butterfly pollination plot. So with all the COVID-19 issues he has learned so much that text books would have not taught him yet.  He loves this new found passion and plans on growing this entrepreneurship.

Tractors from my Grampa

03/03/2020 by ST 2 Comments

I got this Massey Harris 444 tractor from my Grampa when I was 10 years old. He passed away from cancer. Now I am 15 and working hard on it. I am hoping to make it pull in the Baddest Antique Tractor in the World some day.

This is my Allis Chalmers D14 that I got from my Grampa when he passed.

Allis Chalmers B

02/28/2020 by ST 2 Comments

The story behind the B was my son and I pulled it in the shop one afternoon to install a new rear rim due to rust. Well I got to thinking how cool it would be to have our own lowered B so we started to see how hard it would be to lower and before we knew it I was chipping the front axle and it was no stopping at that point.

With a lot of weekends and week nights my son and I got it lowered. My son is now 6 years old and loves this tractor and going for rides on what he calls “his cool tractor”. We hope to add a set of fenders from a WD to finish the tractor off.

1963 Allis Chalmers D19

01/10/2020 by ST Leave a Comment

This is a 1963 Allis Chalmers D19 Diesel. I bought it in 2008, motor was bad and had a few oil leaks. Went all the way through it from front to back. 8 years to do it in my spare time, was a lot of fun.
