So on a little trip, we visited the Homestead National Monument in
Beatrice Nebraska today. I had read the article about the Allis C that
was brought back from Alaska, used by the last homesteader. https://www.omaha.com/news/nebraska/tractor-used-by-the-nation-s-last-homesteader-begins-journey/article_ef6e1a33-b0dd-5c1d-944d-64829f1fa2c9.html Its
an interesting story. They didn't restore it, but just cleaned it up to
put on display. I enjoyed seeing it. Shameless, you can't be far away.
Ever seen it?    ------------- 1950 C, 1952 CA, 1961 D17 (Dads last tractor) 1944 Farmall B, 1947 Farmall B, Bobcat 610 |

So phase II of the trip, we toured the Case IH combine manufacturing plant in Grand Island, Nebraska. All I can say about that is.... AWESOME! ------------- 1950 C, 1952 CA, 1961 D17 (Dads last tractor) 1944 Farmall B, 1947 Farmall B, Bobcat 610 |

Phase III was going to Meinhardt Farm Equipment in Wamego, Kansas.. He has quite a collection of mostly AC stuff, but other brands as well. Equally AWESOME!  ------------- 1950 C, 1952 CA, 1961 D17 (Dads last tractor) 1944 Farmall B, 1947 Farmall B, Bobcat 610 |

I've seen the allis at the homestead building. staff i visited with was basicly clueless! The background story from the staff would make this a much more desirable display! |
