Good one Ted!!! By that standard I am only 6' 1". I feel younger already.......

I never expected to make it to 65 but by golly I hit that mark a few months ago. Congrats to you and I hope you have many more years to go.
I live in the country and my AC 170 is my most valuable tool.

Bill,
A very Happy Birthday and hope you have a joyous Christmas. Someday we will meet again. It's been about 12 years since since the "Coming Home" GOTO in Union Grove WI. Bob@allisdowneast (Bob Davids)

I think we all can say with conviction that Bill Long is one of the big reasons we all enjoy this bulletin board. Your passion for AC's and especially the B's is apparent, and appreciated. Merry Christmas and many more!

When I see "Bill Long" It's an automatic open and read. Lots of changes since the forum was new. Remember dial up internet? How about the chat room? and the big new thing was posting pictures.

Hi Bill, You are a wealth of information and I have enjoyed our talks. Great to hear you are doing well. Cold Cold Cold here in SD! Looking forward to spring....longer days and wrenching outside. Likewise I also appreciate everyone I have met through this form. Fact of it is....I have yet to meet a rude Allis Chalmers enthusiast. Very good to be a part of the AC family. Have a blessed holiday and new year.

I keep seeing this title for a boring post, but I can't seem to find it either!! I look forward to your posts, Bill, and they are usually quite informative. My first Allis was a '39 'B', which I still have along with a couple of others. Looks like another 'B' will be coming to live here in the next couple of weeks to make it 4 of them!
Merry Christmas and all the best in the coming year.
And I expect to read another "boring post" about this time next year!

If you'd a known you'd a lived this long, HOW would you have changed things so we would be even MORE proud of you?!?!? I for one, want to be able to head East to one of these (secret) meetings that youse guys have out on the East coast just so I can shake your hand and get a picture taken along side you!!! YES, thanks to Darin for allowing SO MANY of us to make friends of total starngers and become the BEST of friends!! (I too need to make a Christmas gift to keep this wonderful family together. HOPEFULLY we will be able to find an answer to "POSTING PICS" on THIS site, so that they STAY here...!! Bill, I have only known you through emails and on here, but you are one of the truly "Allis-Chalmers" people I have met, but never seen. THANK YOU for some special favors and KNOWLEDGE through the years!!! PLEASE, accept this "THANK YOU" from ALL of us for every word you have ever written through the years to help us LOVE ALLIS!! I have to admit Bill, IF I would have known way back when.........If I would have known that THIS forum and ALL of the people who HAD make ALLIS so alive and good,,,,,,I want to make this the year that I can shake your hand and say " HI " to you. You sir have helped to make this forum what it is,,,,,,,,,a BIG AZZ FAMILY!! THANK YOU!!!!

Newcomer ‘round here, but happy Birthday Bill. You are correct in your assessment about the forum. Glad I found the this place. Probably saved me from cooking my B, and the reason it’s now a runner again.
