these old movies Are great love the old Allis Chalmers stuff
As a kid my parents and I went to the county fair. Often the rides on the midway were powered by Allis Chalmers stationary engines.
My Uncle Frank, who was a farmer near W. Dundee, IL, once had me take the wheel of one of his Allis Chalmers WD tractors while distributing hay bales for his dairy cows in an open field. I was seven years old at the time and this was the first motor vehicle of any kind I got to operate. For a kid my age I was "on top of the world" steering the WD's big, black wheel, adjusting the hand throttle and pulling in and out the hand clutch. Thanks for sharing this vintage AC promotional film!
The test jigs alone are impressive engineering.
I wonder if Kubota has our best interest at heart,, 🤔🤔 like the made in USA equipment manufacturer obviously did in this video,
Does j&l videos sell this old videos on line?. Full lenght video would be great. My dad loves this. He farmed on ac all his life. I show him these videos when home.
We're currently working on a way to offer these for sale but it's in the beginning stages, stay tuned!
Now i wish they tested tractors like this today if they did maybe wed have some real machines not these overgrown lawnmowers they make now.
How many operators did they ware out with these tests.
or kill
🤙🤙😄
Nowadays things are way to complicated.
Although it looks like fun at first, test driving these machines must have been a very weary job. Nowadays, auto manufacturers now use robots to drive cars on the test tracks non stop beyond what a human driver is capable of.
Hmm...Guess I'm still doing "field tests" today.
