Wow!!!!!! The more I see and hear about that tractor, the more awesome it gets. That is something you can be right proud of, and don't worry for a minute about being over budget, because I am sure you don't plan on selling it anyhow. And take this as a warning if I ever get into your neck of the woods, I am stopping in for a first hand look at it. Thanks for sharing all of them beautiful pictures of your work with us. Darrel

No I dont plan on ever selling it, I plan on putting to to work for many years. If you are ever in the middle of boondocks Kansas you are more than welcome to stop by

That is so nice!! I would love to do this to mine!

looks good badjeep!!!!!!

35 combines and 15 forage harvesters. mostly allis combines and equipment.WTB 2 row cornhead for a 90

Amazing beautiful job. That's surely something to be proud of.

I must say that you have done an exceptional job. The way you made the old and the new come together is great. If I didn't know any better I would believe it rolled off the line like that. What great work you have done.

Thanks & God Bless

I don't know how many times now, I've went back into this thread and just marveled at the workmanship that went into this project. It is the absolute perfect balance of old meets new. What a fine job you've done of keeping old iron in service in a modern way. I may pirate the gleaner hydro handle idea from you for a project or two of my own. Did you order it out of agco parts, or find it in a salvage yard. ...? If you ordered it new, could you clue me in on the cost and part number. ...? Thanks, Darrel

Been watching this post from the get go. Beautiful work on this. Looks absolutely immaculate. Did you do anything as far a isolating the cab?

Looked at this post a few times thought i was the only guy that made things there own .And who cares what anyone else thinks very nice job i think we would get along good, love to see people that love the Allis tractors as much as i do great job.

Wow! The original engineers/designers of this AC 440 are looking down at what you have done, and saying "Why didn't we think of that?" - 'course the well thought out upgrades you have done probably weren't even thought of when this unit was originally designed!

You have created a beautiful, usable, modern articulated 4x4 that is the envy of any AC enthusiast, plus it undoubtedly will outlast any modern plastic 4x4.

Fantastic job!

I don't know how I've missed this thread up to now but all I can say is WOW!...I mean just WOW, WOW, WOW!!!

Super restoration! It is sharp. And, I also love the modern additions. I can't remember, but I'm thinking these were non-turbo?? Did you add any turbos to the triple nickle cummins?
I got to see a great shape, tall rubber 38" or 42" dualled AC 440 sell at a farm auction a few years back. It brought around $10,000. Yours is awesome!

well done

awesome job, very cool, and I love all the custom touches. :)

After harvest, or this winter if you have more time, could we talk you into starting a new thread on what all you did for the hydraulics?

I have a 7580 with a few shot remote cables, and dad has quite a few salvage Gleaners, so I was pondering electro-hydraulics on one. :) we wouldnt need pulse width modulation for variable flow, as we are just tillage use, so we dont need to be able to feather it.

As far as open and closed center, the old N and early R were closed center, and to my understanding all others were open center, so this may come into play on what to use for a donor...

When I get a chance I will pull the cover and take some pics and show what I did, when I originally decided to go electro hydraulic I was also going to use salvage combine valves also but decided against it because i didnt think they would flow enough volume when they were on standby, this tractor is open center and I didnt want any restriction on the pump. I ended up going with aftermarket high flow big port valves, I researched them for a month before i ordered some. There is a LOT of different valves out there.
