Your first Allis purchase

AC  CA long about 1988 or 1990 

My brother and I inherited the D14 and and 175 which our grandfather bought when they were 2 and 1 year old respectively.  Not long after that, we bought the D17 Series IV gas and promptly started restoring it hours after it rolled off the float!  That's when we got bit by the collecting bug!

Bought my 27 year old 79' 7060 PD in 2006. The farmer I bought it from, sweetened the deal by throwing in an AC1300 24'FC & AC 2000 5-16 plow. He had used it to pull a 12 planter, so it also came with space duals & full front weights. He upgraded to a newer caseih magnum & I was elated to get his well cared for 7060. Later I acquired an AC 2000 6-18 plow for it which made a beautiful combination.
Here's pictures of it.http://www.allischalmers.com/forum/plowing-in-february_topic135379.html

My 1957 D14 about 1994, still have it and it's my main go to tractor.

First Allis thing I got was my great-granddad's All-Crop 60A (inherited). First tractor was in 2009, when my parents bought 11-year old me a B. 

Graduated 1974 & bought UC out of neighbors pasture. Watched it out the school bus window for many years.

Oct 2, 1995; Bought our first G (with loader) from Charlie Felgar, Keokuk, Iowa at a 3I (Iowa, Illinois, Indiana) Farming Show in Blackhawk community, southeast of Terre Haute, Indiana. Week later bought a second G from Charlie. Intent was a walnut grove, which did not materialize. Still have both G's plus D14, AC720 and AC620 with loader. Sure miss Charlie, a good man and an Allis Chalmers enthusiast. Herb(GA)

My first was a 1947 WC. Bought from Sam in Texas. Has ben a god tractor and still use it off and on to this day. Also, it's very near the same age as me.

Dad had a a Couple B's,WD45 and CA on the farm, first AC I bought  was a G with several pieces of
equipment around 1970 to cultivate sweet corn.

Sraight 190 diesel at an auction in Fulton Mo 1990,,,it was rough, but ran good and had a new Powerdirector,, it has the small axles and everyone said awe youll never do nothing with that,   went tractor pulling with it around home and she mopped up every class from 8000 to 11000,

Pops bought me my '55 B in 2012 in trade for work. Tractors were easy write-offs!  

Sold a 1929 Ford Model A and was looking for a new project.  Bought this B a few years back from the original owner's family and fixed it up.

Grew up on A-C's.  The first tractor that I bought when I started to farm in 1975 was a D-21 Series II. It left the farm in 1980 and was replaced with another colour. In our construction business my first TLB was an A-C I-60. Still have an A-C 715B. First A-C tractor when I caught the collecting bug in 1991 was a D-19 that I needed on the farm. Now more then 20 A-C's around the farm. Had a good year in 2017. Added a one owner 220 fwd, 190 Diesel Beachmaster, and I-600 from the Nesbitt auction.

my first was a brand new 1980 AC 7010, I still have it, still a good tractor, it's never been opened up, have replaced tires, and the a/c system, and added more lights. I did replace the seal and o-ring on the PTO. then came the 180D a few years later, them came the 7080, and about all the support equipment in between.
