We love Allis Chalmers, Hit And Miss Engines, Farming, and old stuff in general. Our channel is home of our new project "The Allis Chalmers Archive" a collection of 16mm Allis Chalmers films and Demo Pak tapes we've collected over the years. But we'll also post video's about old engines and completely random things as well.
Fendt had their first variable transmission test ca. 1979 if I remember correctly but the electronics to control it was developed in the mid 90’s 1997 release of Fendt Vario. I believe it was about the same time CNH had their variable transmission working in the CVX. I remember my dad saying that the Case Hydro were loosing to much power trough the transmission. One thing Case CVX did was learning how to use the pedal. There are so many clowns out there who don’t understand how to drive with pedal when it makes sense and we all know expect for “them” how it makes it easier to drive. Personally I think it’s because they’re too scared to drive with pedal.. But the fact is they don’t want to LISTEN when they’re gibberish about it because we know better than anyone wich they have to learn accept, and follow instructions from the leaders of the package. -Real talk but it’s still CUUUUUT.
Father in Law was the first in the area to get a D17 and when he did some custom work for one of the nieghbours, they refused to pay because they thought he'd only done half the field because he did it in half the time of his old tractor.
I remember when these combines came out and were at the Farm science review in Ohio. I thought wow they can’t make equipment any bigger. Then now these combines are on the smaller scale of what’s available now
We had a gleaner m2 back when i was a kid up to 13 years old, it could put a 30ft swath through it but the engine was the downfall of that combine, it sat at an angle and oiling didn’t work that well, ours died at 2200hrs but other than that the old m2 had the cleanest sample of any combine we’ve owned since. We bought a 1660 case after the m2 died and it was a heck of a good combine just couldn’t clean as well as the gleaner. Now we run a 7120 and a 2188 case, both fantasticcombines, the 8.3 cummins in the 2188 will last forever with good service and that 7120 is probably 3-4x bigger than the old m2 and the automation unbelievable compared to both the m2 and the 2188. Main reason we went to case is the fact we don’t have a gleaner dealer anywhere close to us. Case ih dealer is only 20 min away, gleaner dealer is 3.5hrs away
They put the rotor up front where the cylinder was on a G or a C. How it ended up way up top, high and dry, is a mystery, as Gleaner always advertised "Down front threshing, No feeder chains." and "The cylinder is down front, unlike others who still build their machines with the cylinder high and dry, and feed it with a chain, like a threshing machine".
@@JandLVideosYep, I was right. That thing looks wild as heck. And you know there had to be more than one concept machine to test different layouts. Would love to see some film of that thing actually running.
Ah, those were the good old days, silver combines and dealers everywhere you went. We had a dozen down here in Mississippi in the 70's, now not one. The N's put most of them out of business and fast, from header to spreader they were the worst combines made. They were pretty good by '82 with the new headers that could actually feed it, but from there back they still had issues. They really got better with the '92's and today I'd say they are one of the best combines made.
@@randymagnum143 Spent are lot of hours running R62’s back in the day not much would better them Side by side with other brand machines. You could see where the R62 cut it wasn’t green Only complaint I had was from are maggot taxi owner there’s no grain on the ground That was triticale
some folks might not like when I say this but, Gleaner Rotary combines are the best in the field then the other Rotaries on the market even today. Awesome promotional film
I’m a case and I will say they make a good sample in the new ones I think the design is a bite capacity limited compared to a af or twin. Back in the day case NH and gleaner were all ahead.
I think this one even has more claimed music tracks than the two twenty Landhandler video! Of course, the videos where I'd love to know the name of music tracks never get identified.
I found out the The song name in the beginning. Its called Tocatta by Manheim steamroller. One of the other songs is a Network Music Ensemble track the song is called Eagles Landing.
The "Chief" was actually a group of Chippewa Indians, and they didn't sell the eagle to a soldier, they traded it to my great great grandfather Dan McCann for a few bushels of corn. It was an eaglet. Dan raised it until it was fully grown. Later Dan sold the eagle for $2.50 to the Eighth Wisconsin as a mascot. The eagle traveled with the company to the battlefields of the civil war. Just to clarify 🙂
We had IH 80 combine, Dad couldn't make it all the way around the field before the hopper was full, so, he put me behind the wheel of the IH BC 160 grain truck at age 12. I would drive around that 80 acre field feeling so grown up 😊
LOL the teaser, oh what could it be??? I’m no puller and it’s only an observation. Nohlen what if you widen your tires out like your dad’s? Also let a little air out. It seems it might even you two out a little. You’re getting closer. Only two feet less. Good job just the same. Jake did real good too. I like those pie weights. James you must do something with the D-14. Well you don’t have to but I’m afraid it felt a little embarrassed. Thank you for the video.
To my eye Mike, The chain attached to the sled, appeared to be longer than most, reducing the amount of downpull at the draw bar & lift at the front of the sled.
I wish I knew what there is that I could say that would be of value. I never knew the vastness of the Allis Chalmers Company. I grew up in up-state ny,, around some of the farming, but was drawn to heavy equipment, The White Truck line, after my service, but moved back to cat. I never knew all I been seeing in these old films of the A-C commercial line of earth moving equipment. I'm 75, the thousands of people who made up the corporation was huge. I certainly wish the Company was still around, it was part of what made America so great. From what I see of A-C on you-tube, it still holds it own among many in the USA and else where in the world. If I was a well man, I would hunt me out one of the old tractors, my grandpa had a model G, He and his wife worked something under 4 acors of ground with it.......... What ever would be for show, but currently that isn't possible, medically. The Lord Be With You.........
Allis Chalmers started going downhill in the late 70s and went totally bankrupt in the 80s never owned any AC machines mostly international 666 and 1066.
I don't remember none of them around here any where if I did there was a very few of them the pull behind clipper combines were made be 4 the others 😊😊 OMG 8 28 2O24
my dad bought one brand new back then, i grew up on that tractor mowed a lot of grass and my dad made a lot of garden equipment to go behind it a cultivator a disk a plow a roller and a planter. we had it and used it until 1981 when he sold it. it was used almost every week the whole time we had it. we did have to rebuild the differential several times throughout the years that was a weak point. the sun gear teeth would break off. i wish they made mower decks like they did on this one it was a very good design.
@JandLVideos my dad owned one back in the early 60s and I vagly remember it because I was only 3 or maybe 4 but I do remember it was orange and he told me later that it was and all crop 90 combine. I wished could find one just for old times sake and use it at shows.then a cousin of my dad's he had a all crop 100 self propelled combine.
