Finished ours last evening, F2, pretty good with the rains. First wheat of my own. Remember the first wheat, riding with grandpa in a K, good times!

You need to get some footage of the big planter going! That’s sure a nice looking 8050!

Thanks for sharing

At what point do you have to fracture the hard pan? I would think you would need to for moisture retention but here in the Deep South we have way different soil.

I’m looking for a seed tube for a 385 can you get in touch with me e please

how many acres do you farm

A shed full of Gleaners and Allis chalmers tractors; that's my paradise ‼️

For me I loved my L3 but the R52 is definitely a technology up grade for me with extra creature comforts and a feed reverser

How did the steep pitch helicals turn out? Any suggestions to improve on rotor?

I like my n6 but my ideal rotary would be a late r52. I think my favorite gleaner will probably always be my g.

Good video nice to see the older Gleaners still running on our channel this year we have a N7 and R70 running side by i am like you not a John Deere guy pretty much every thing you talked about is true easy to work on and with some updates your gleaner will run for a long time like update to accelerator rollers are stainless steal check our our channel for updates with the Update on a R75 it runs great kessler grain farm channel

S67

The n series is my favorite always wanted one behind that would be the r2 series my dad used to rent gleaners from the local dealer to harvest the one I remember was a r72 with duals and an 8 row head but I guess when it comes to buying a combine for the dairy I think an l2/3 would suffice for a few years

N7 for the big AC Diesel, capacity, visor, simplicity, minus the engine elbow room. Never owned though. F2 is dreadfully simple throughout. Parts plentiful, cheap, and we even make a few. Wide rice tires and it floats over problems. Great vid, didnt know they dropped the cabs.

Allis Chalmers 👍

You don't find quality decals every day. Getting the correct font is a chore. Someone spent some time if they match AC just right. Another, good vinyl that takes UV itself is rare. The 2pc design likely because their printer / cutter or roll of vinyl was 12 inches wide. I've matched some custom fonts on machinery with calipers and dimensioning the letters, tedious but looks great complete. I'd go original looking myself. Only thing that's bothered me down the road is eventual cracking etc. Not concours OEM but borrowed from street rod improvement idea, starting with my F2, I'll just use decals as stencils and paint base clear orange, black and white. Decals or painted model numbers, I'd lean towards burying them under a hardened clear. Smooth edges, durable, slick. Either way, that's an awesome piece of flagship AC history. Thanks for the inspiration on a proper cold midwest winter day.

Centre it. It will make the decal look shorter and not supper long

We farm about thirty miles south of Everett and Brian. Great great guys. Glad you ended up with the 8095’s

Since you have multiple 8095s you could do it each way! (I like the middle)

Looking at a buch of 8000 series pictures on the 'net, they all seem to have full length decals with the number close to the cab, so that's what I would go with. Otherwise I'd consider reproducing the original, even with the 8070 number. But I prefer actually putting 8095 on it.

Didnt say a word about the cow that was out and went back in by herself? Youre pretty laid back. Lots of yelling and cussing here.

Do most of your AC tractors come locally or from all over the nation? I know Lafayette County had a strong Allis showing for years. My grandparents farmed just outside of Odessa and had a 6060 2wd with cab. They also had a Gleaner E when I was a wee little tot.

Why does your vehicle barn not have any walls or doors? You live in an area with very low temperatures, and where the wind chill factor is high, yet you don't protect the vehicles you DEPEND on to do your work with. And as you drive to the bales, (is it true you have just the four bales?), there is another tractor just left out in the open, so another challenge to get that started.

Keep up the good work and dogged determination. I had to start from scratch also. Ain’t easy but we farmers are and have to be stubborn and bull headed but we’re also humble proud people. Someone has to feed this world and make it a leave it a better place for the next generation that follows. I still run the old orange classics and gleaner combines myself. Keep on keeping on and God bless you for 2024 crop year.

Bet Those 42" casting weren't cheap and very hard to find too.

Allis did contribute to American agricultural! I farm with 2 8070s and love them! Love restoring them and making them like new! Thanks for sharing.

What kind of yield monitor do you have in your combine. I’m going to try to get to Louisville Kentucky to the machinery expo and see about getting one for myself. Just wondering. Thanks

I think we’re cut from the same cloth. I run old Allis chalmers tractors and gleaner combines also. Nothing like the classics. You can’t keep a classic down. Like your videos i just ran across your channel and stopped for a look and liked what you’ve doing.

Those look like an awful lot of tractor for farming, how many acres are you running? There's an old 1950s AC video on KZfaq (J&L channel?) that goes through a table of different models and the number of acres the tractors could plow in a day, disk in a day, plant in a day, etc. which I thought was a marvelous idea. Right size your equipment by comparing acres vs time of the season. Maybe you have May 10th to June 20th to get corn planted. That is a lot of days and hours even if half of them are rained out. But I see some farmers running big new paint so they can get all their corn planting done in a week. Then they sit around and fret about the equipment payments. You've got the right idea, buy cash and fix up, just make sure you're right sized. I have an old farm-log/diary from my family recorded in the early 1940s and running nearly a square mile of dairy, potato, and grain farm they supported two families and several full time hired laborers with two 25hp tractors (Fordson and Case). There are a lot of entries about so-and-so was plowing a field all day. I'm on small acres at the moment, but I'm transitioning from conventional tillage+chemicals to no-till, winter rye cover, planting corn/beans into the standing rye, then flatten the rye with a roller after the corn/beans emerge, and using/saving heirloom seed. So my inputs are barely anything and simple 1950s tractors can cover a lot of ground. I got the path from a farmer selling 5,000 acres of premium priced full-organic grain to the food companies. His heirloom game is buying 20yr off-patent hybrid seed he can legally keep and grow (he will need to do some crossing to keep the performance up). Get some Bloody Butcher or Reid's Yellow Dent seed to try out a small patch if you are growing any corn (know that they need wider in-row placement, I'm using 9in, vs the hybrids that can grow tighter).

Nice tractors buddy

Good day from Ontario. Yes there was alot of older allis gas tractors. Dealer did not want to start selling diesel. Sold dealership & started selling diesel. Faded out to small Our neighbour had WD, boy o boy it done alot of work 3 furrow plow, Allis 60 combine, & allis rd baler & done some custom work. Thanks

Reworking it, like you said, should be a fun project. Those were some good machines!

I hear what you're saying. My dad and I it's the damn situation . It is a struggle for sure. I said fuck it and walked away. Too hard on my nerves and relationship between wife and I. I have regrets but man it was aweful .

Hey bro I like the loyalty I hope u all the best with me being a beginning farmer starting in January we need all the farming we can get I always like the orange but I'm a New Holland guy gd luck brother love ur videos

nice to see the gleaner combines

gleaner combines are very unrated

you keep going it will come right in the end

I want you to know I've been in your shoes. It's heartbreaking to hear this. My father would not let me rent the farm I grew up on, but I was allowed to rent another farm 1 mi. away. It was only after he died my mom said If I wanted to farm it I could. Years later I now own the rented farm that I was able to purchase. I was 47 when I finally realized my dream to own a farm . It sucks when you have to go through this stuff. I am retired now and would never put anyone through what I had to . I truly wish you well.

If you have any extra shop time available, spend it on that 305. Would mind having one of those myself. I have an 8070 here.

Love seeing all the orange paint

Sorry about your family issues. That sucks . Be pretty neat to get the 305 running.

When am I allowed to come play with the 8095??

I enjoyed the video. I thought my 7080 was a big tractor.

That looks like a nice ass 6080! I’d love to have one like that! How’s the turn radius on the mfd?

Well, there there may not be much of it, but it's some good feed! Is that a preservative tank I see there by the pickup? Made a lot of small squares in my life. Gosh, that was back in the 50s and 60s.

Where do you get your rebuild kits?

That centre roller that takes the weight and the spring loaded block. Can you explain how that all works ? Like a ratchet affair.

How did you like your upgrades to cylinder?

looks good the other thing we did was put 1/2" plate behind the cylinder bars to tighten the clearance between bars and helical or a spacer behind the helicals on the N7 we double stacked the helicals

Good Job on video We have a you tube channel that maybe helpful to you if you need to replace your acc. rollers we went to stainless steel last a long time we also installed the steep pitch helical bars which helped alot on any green weeds or beans kessler Grain Farms
