one thing I keep noticing on the talk of this 6070, yes it's the famous last tractor to roll off the West Allis line, but most keep forgetting that it is still a brand new tractor. That jewel is like a time capsule!

From what I read on another post on the forum, it appears that Marilyn Fanetti did purchase the 6070, and 19 other tractors in the collection - however, don't know how the person who posted the info found out about this, nor the accuracy of the information.
(Believe that post is related to "disappointed buyers from the auction")

The point missed was----I see people all the time paying $50,000 for a fancy new pickup and no one gives it a second thought. The last Allis built in the world gets only bid to $46,000. If that new Chebby is worth $50,000 then the Allis should sell for about $200,000. Turns out that it was a crooked sale, anyway. Perspective.

Auctioneers? An on-line auction? I bet there are countless web builders who could have done the same thing for far less than 5%.

Where did this tractor end up? Because the Southeast old thrashers reunion is featuring "Allis's of the East" and thought since Allis was going to be the featured brand that it would be real nice to have the last tractor they ever made there.

Joe is correct. I found out from a credible source as well. Would expect it is still in Wisconsin, but cannot confirm that.

It would be very interesting to know what she choose to kept from the collection, and how they ended up with the last Allis in the first place.

Don't kill the messenger but some food for thought. Last few hours of your job then you are unemployed, last few minutes of the last few hours before you walk out the door for the last time. Are you going to build in quality or just get it over with?
I'm thinking I'd rather own serial number 1.

They ended up with the 6070 because her Husband Hauled tractors out of West Allis. Allis put the tractor up forsale ,& he ended up with the highest bid is info I read on here or other website

Agco does not care about anything orange. That whole sale was a farce.
If Marilyn Fanetti wanted to buy them back she should have been in on
the bidding not just yes/no on the final sale price, you never know how
high the other bidder would have gone.
