Allis Chalmers Hay Equipment 2015

This video show the complete process of "making hay" using Allis-Chalmers equipment from the 1950's & 1960's. You will see the 80R mower, hay conditioner, 78G hay rake & 303 baler. You will also see three different models of tractors. The "CA", "D-14" & "D-15 Series II"

I have 13 Allis-Chalmers tractors that we still farm with today I really like your video

[@The1952caallis]

Thank you!

I grew up on WD45 and D17 tractors. Used to cut a lot of hay with an AC mower like yours. I remember raking and baling, the baler was an IH of the same type. A lot of memory's of 60 or so years ago.

[@stevelangland3924]

I learned to drive an Allis CA and thought I was in heaven getting to drive out new 1964 D-17 at the time. We still have that series III on the farm and use it routinely yet. The two speed hand clutch was one of the best things created The only thing it never had on it was a manure loader. We even mounted a model 190 picker on it for a few years. I plan to have it fully restored in the next year or so . The sheet metal is still in great shape and it has the original lights with the half moon light directors. At the time it was purchased my late uncle and some neighbors wondered how we would ever pay for it. We did and the farm continued to grow until we owned a 7040 and a gleaner combine. That same D-17 also ran a single row Gehl chopper as we filled roughly 30 silos with corn silage each fall until we got bigger equipment. It's got a lot of family history from it's life on this farm.

I'm not even a farmer,but always enjoy watching the old equipment being used

[@ianBeer123]

Great video, I always love to see the vintage stuff at work no matter what color it is. Brings back some real good memories of the "good old days".

[@chrisnobbe9600]

Nice looking equipment. It was great to watch all that old A-C equipment in action.

[@jamesmarvin8099]

Thanks for the video. The old A C s were hard to beat. I'm retired now but AC s were mostly what I used.

[@jamisgood21]

Seriously...who is the one dingleberry that disliked this video? What is there not to like about antique American farming equipment?!?!?!

[@christinamoneyhan5688]

Retired now. I was a MF man, but had a friend who was AC. I always liked the D series tractors and the 100 series. Anyway that is the way I always made hay with the exception that I used a haybine for the mowing and conditioning. Great video. Oh, ya! Your daughter did great by the looks of things.

[@blusharx]

Great video. The "old" devices are still working very well!

[@bunnandkajguy]

Nice video,nice old equipment.I'm a IH guy but always liked the vintage AC stuff. Well done...........

[@The1952caallis]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed. IH made a lot of good stuff.

[@keithmartin1627]

You must have all the AC toys. I have several tractors and a few other implements but first AC crimper I Ever saw. Never knew they made one.

[@buzzsawncgo2751]

Loved the video of the old AC equip. at work. All my experience was on my Grandfathers farm, and he had no particular brand loyalty. Worked with Ford, MF, IH, and JD, actually learned to drive on an old (not at the time) 8n Ford. I was too light to depress the clutch and made up for it by putting both feet on the petal and pulling up on the steering wheel. Made for a dicey minute or two if I didn't watch out for inclines. My brothers somehow wound up as AC dealers. I still love the old stuff, thanks for shareing.

That "CA" sounds great!

[@The1952caallis]

Thank you

[@timh9407]

Excellent video !

[@thatfarmallguy2269]

I love the old ac stuff and the ih and the jd

[@robertlong7033]

WE had a D17, 175, 5050 and a 6080. They all had their drawbacks but I still believe that they were the most powerful in their class

[@richarderickson5965]

This is one of two times I saw a AC square baler. All I saw in my area was the AC round baler, got 2 of those man killers. lol. love the D series tractor's the best.

[@christinegibler5052]

Very nicely cut! :)

[@bduff007]

Nice equipment

Very Nice!

nice job on you video.

[@The1952caallis]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it

[@EZ570]

I like the suspension seat on the CA. It looks like it is from tractor supply. Haying is for the young, and I have done more than my share in the past.

[@The1952caallis]

I'm 6' 4" tall and all legs so when driving the CA I could used a little more leg room. I tried to find the after market add on transmission that would give me 6" more room but could not find anyone that wanted to sell me one. So when the standard pan seat needed to be replaced I purchased a seat that gave me more leg room. As for the baling you are correct, I sure do feel my age when baling and have been getting the next generation more involved. Thanks for watching!

[@EZ570]

I had switched my CA to 12 volts. I replaced the generator and its mounting bracket with a 12 volt self exciting alternator, a 12 volt battery and a 12 volt coil. I switched it to a negative ground, requiring the wires to be switched on the coil and battery. I replaced the on/off key switch with a single pole double throw toggle switch which isolates current from the alternator from continually energizing the coil and points after shutting off the on/off switch with the engine and thus the alternator still turning. I have since replaced the CA with a Ford 1710 high crop offset cultivating tractor. It has power steering, high clearance, great brakes that work in both directions and an efficient diesel.

That's awesome!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching

[@ljgregory1]

Looks like you need to drill a few more seed in that field...mighty bare in places.

[@donhopf5877]

Nice Video! Things were alot simpler back then!!

[@katesbest1939]

Don Hopf nice video, man that is some tall corn. is it op? What variety?

[@The1952caallis]

Thank You for watching. Glad you enjoyed it. I'm not sure of the corn as it was the neighbors. It's hard to see but the corn field is about 12" lower than the hay field. About 7 years ago we had corn that was 2 feet over the cab of the Gleaner M combine, which would of made the corn about 14 feet tall. Thought I was lost when I was combining that corn. Talk about not able to see the field through the corn. LOL

[@skeets6060]

I wish we could have bailed that slow when I was a kid :)

Thanks you James.

[@jamesmichel7261]

Love those old tractors

[@keithmartin1627]

Not trying to spam this video. But what are the uprights/racks around the wagon for. Do you have a baler with a kicker on it?

[@The1952caallis]

It is a cage for a kicker Baler but I don’t have a kicker

[@Travis_Rivers]

Man if you have those adjusted properly they will really cut !!

[@keithmartin1627]

Is that an IH 1300 mower? It resembles one I have a Lot.

[@The1952caallis]

It’s an Allis 80R mower

[@dodge-ut6ti]

IS IT HARD TO FIND PARTS FOR THE BALER?

[@The1952caallis]

Parts have not been an issue for me.

[@michaelkroger899]

whats with the small tyre of the baler...axle needs fat or new beering..blocked whole time...

[@The1952caallis]

Could you explain a little more about what the issue is you see?

@@The1952caallis 8:35 and later it looks in video, the small tyre stops and run-stop and run- i cant see its free rolling or sledering over ground..in my eyes..5000 miles away..maybe its ok-greets

Got it, the wheel hub and axle are in great condition. I did have the pickup chained. So the tire must of passed over a dip in the ground.
