 AGCO posted it to facebook and this is what they said........ The Cody they are talking about is Cody Hager.... "Cody, we were able to get a picture for you before everyone headed out for the New Year's holiday break. The management team's tribute to the last AGCO tractor to come off the line. The end of another era in the 50 year history of the Beauvais, France plant." |

Is Dr. Kevorkian there? I truly believe they will eventually regret this decision, of course it will be too late to remedy it then. It is probably too late now. When you alienate great customers like ILGleaner and others like him, you can't expect much forgiveness from your former customers. |

remembered the pic of the last tractor that rolled of the assembly line at the plant in Milwaukee.
Its ironic to look at the above picture and see, "Your agriculture company" . If it truely was, they would abide by the customers requests not idiots in control with no care to the buyers but to the stockholders. (I may be a bit presumptuous there)

| They look like a bunch of morons. If you notice though, there are some that aren't smilling. For the ones that are, they need a electric cattle prod where the sun don't shine. My toast for the new year is to keep the orange legacy alive. Only had 4 more years till the hundreth anerversery. |

This is just like December 6 1985. At least when Allis-Chalmers went under we had a company that embraced the orange heritage and wanted to satisfy the dealers and farmers to use. I know this hurts everyone but people like REDLINE and ILGLEANER are hurt more because they put their lives into farming and are constantly involved with their dealers. After several years and generations they developed a bond with the dealers and the orange tractor and silver combine line and it's history. Now a vast majority of the dealers are going under with the end of orange forcing many to make life changing decisions. As much as I hate to say it I doubt it will end with the death of orange, I think that the stupidity will continue and the Gleaner combines will be next on the chopping block. I hope I'm wrong but only time will tell. LONG LIVE ORANGE, LONG LIVE ALLIS-CHALMERS/AGCO ------------- 1937 WC, 1950 CA, 1959 D14, 1967 190XT, 2006 Ram 3500 |

 Does anyone remember this logo? I have seen it at a good friend of mine's allis dealer on a financing book. I have to believe that this is from 1991. I know a guy who talkes with some agco reps regularly and he mentioned on time about agco being the allis gleaner company and the guy told him that it has NEVER stood for that. I say that is BS. I have some 1991 gleaner hawk brochres and they say "an allis gleaner company" right on them below the deutz allis logo. |

Yes, that is BS. I was the one who posted the Deutz-Allis logo circa 1991 with "An Allis-Gleaner Company" printed below the logo. I scanned that directly from a D-A calendar. I also have several pieces of period literature with that logo as you mentioned. By the way, I have not seen the logo you posted above. I would be interested in hearing more about this. It was my understanding that the AGCO logo was as close as they could get to the A-C triangle logo without any type of infringement. ------------- A-C Weight ID reference and other goodies at http://www.brianahart.net" rel="nofollow - brianahart.net |

ACD19farmboy: I did save that picture from your facebook. But I only saved it because I have honestly seen it before. I figured you just posted it up, i didn't realize you had made it up. I saw it at a local former allis dealer that I have made good friends with. I was baffled when I first saw it. It was on a little brown brown book I saw laying out back on a pile of stuff he had. Im gonna have to go pay him a visit and see if I can find this again. I will keep you guys posted when I find it again. Dick |
