Dad’s Allis Chalmers

09/21/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

Out of my tractor collection, this is my favorite, my Allis Chalmers WD 45. My dad bought it new at a local dealer in Columbiana Ohio in 1957. Also the same year I was born! My dad farmed with it till he passed away just a few years later, I was 8 years old when he passed. When he died, my mother said “son, you are going to have to work hard to keep the farm”.

That tractor did tillage work, planted corn, cultivated and everything else needed to be done, as this was the main work tractor. I put countless hours sitting on this tractor as that young boy. Since then, mom has passed and my wife and I still live on the family farm, where I have never left -all my life. So, after retiring, I decided it was time to preserve that history.

My Allis needed a face-lift. I restored it with all the parts I needed from Steiner. Steiner has been a fabulous company to work with. I have also restored an Allis 45-narrow front end, an Allis C, and a Ford Golden Jubilee, Oliver 66 row crop, Allis Chalmer G and Allis D12. All with Steiner parts. And I have more to come. Have to keep the preserving history going.

Thank you Steiner for all your help.

1951 John Deere A Restoration

09/20/2023 by ST Leave a Comment

My Grandfather traded in a B on steel for a new John Deere A 1951, it was his pride and joy, a neighbor who is long passed would tell how Grandpa was so proud to be able to drive down blacktop to get farm necessities, it was a main workhorse on the farm

Plowing, planting, harvest work, silo filling with the belt on filler. At 4 years old it was the first machine I learned to drive 60 years ago. Through the years it was neglected as bigger equipment became the norm.

A couple of years ago my brother in law and I decided it was time for a restoration.

With the help of Steiner parts and fun work we have progressed to almost completely done, a little tinkering and rear tires and wheel paint, it will be done for my grandchildren to enjoy
