I stumbled across this and thought maybe someone would be interested in checking this out as the AC's in the movie "At Close Range" are mentioned pretty frequently on this site.  Not sure how much AC stuff is left but a few decent looking D-Series and some parts boxes. 

Farm Sales & Service, In Eagleville, TN.


A little background on the dealer. 



10 various B-series garden tractors, AC Homesteader8, 416 hydro,710 gt, 914, 916H, 917H, 920D, and many misc attachments

10% buyers premium. NO THANKS! I don't go to sales like that!
sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?"

Sad, the passing of an old AC guy - Ronnie Hill and family are great people. His Dad had a dealership in Franklin that  Ronnie grew up in.  He had a previous sale many years ago when the Saturn GM plant took over Spring Hill where he moved to, and his property - not a bad thing in the 80's.  We bought a lot of his old 'stuff' at that auction. We wish his family well..   His prior dealership in Spring Hill was unique - He had an Allis dealership and his partner had a IH dealership with a joint shop and rolling stock.. Ronnie was a entrepreneur and has been missed since his passing.

I would Love to have a Poster from that Movie of the actors (whom I never watch any more)  jumping up in front of the Allis 8070 with the stadium lights on. How would a person get one or make one?
