This coming week is the Loretta Lynn’s motocross race. The first race was held there in 1982 which was the same time the ranch used allis chalmers on the ranch.I find it interesting to see these old pictures of the race with the tractors in the background. I’d like to find more info linking the two. Motocross and allis chalmers are my interests so I wanted to share these pictures I just came across. Some are hard to see. In background vary tiny, just see 8000 cab roofs in some.          |

| A friend of mine and former coworker goes there every year and races. He enjoys talking to Loretta's kids. He told me Loretta doesn't come around as much as she used to. Age is getting to all of us. |

| yea when I posted the pictures on here there smaller then the originals. The pictures that you can’t really see anything obvious. If you blow them up. Mostly 8000 cabs. One has 6000 with rops, and next to 4w305 is a 7000. If you google 1982 Loretta Lynn’s motocross there’s a video and shows some allis tractors next to track, and a big allis chalmers sign |

Pic #7 looks like two 8000 series and possibly a 6000 series with rops and another 6000 series with a cab. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

7000 series behind that 4-305 and a 8000 series followed by a 5000 series in pic #5. Definitely someone in a Honda hat taking a leak by a tree in pic #10.   ------------- "Thank you for your service Joe & the Ho"-----Joseph Stalin |

| yes Dave I only put the pictures with allis tractors in them. The site that I seen and saved them from were bigger and could see them better. Sorry I don’t know what happened to size when I put them on here |

Im guessing that its a 6140 hooked up to the gravity box. Jim ------------- An open eye is much more observant than an open mouth |
