is when you have to move it all. I am whipped, 3 months of moving and sorting, one week to go before we leave this place. Moved 17 tractors this afternoon, 27 to go, 90 total...and that was the easy part! ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

Eldon, if you had invited your friends on this Forum to come get a free tractor you wouldn't have had so many to move.  ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Take my word for it Eldon. Even though the move to the new place may be done, you won't be done moving for at least a year. Beyond that, 5 years later you'll still be looking for things. (I know it's here somewhere, I specifically remember loading it up.) Good luck on your continued move. ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

When one gets to a age where the collection outweighs the ambition (like me now) I figure the boys will just be cussing me out someday for having acquired the STUFF. But then they might find some of the treasures that are tucked into places I have even forgot about. Don't plan on moving - guess will be carried out feet first - and all this can be theirs to fight over . In fact it seems I am storing much of their things from all the way what they brought in yesterday to back when they were born . Seems in 50 years in a place you built much is saved - and it seems there some pieces of trim that belong on the laminated beam that still need to be installed (one of these days) ------------- Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do?

Eldon: How many are willing to take something off your hands, as long at it is close to free and you’ll deliver it? I find lots want something until it comes time to reach into their wallets. ------------- If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere. Real pullers don't have speed limits.

| I don't have to worry about moving cause my wife won't part with the house I built for anything, it just finding the time and energy to wok on them all plus keeping the rest of the property up. |

Several years ago we stopped to see Eldon. We moved a D-10 onto a trailer and I moved it all the way to our place. Maybe I should add that I handed him a check. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

And that's the truth. I put my "Good" tape measure up, when my daughter was 2 and kept wanting to play with it. 10 years later, after moving twice, I found it again. I believe it's still around and my daughter will be 46 this fall  ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |
