19:21 That four wheel drive AC would be a pretty sweet tractor if they sold it.

[@thegreenerthemeaner]

The WC was about the most dangerous tractor to operate of it's time.

thegreenerthemeaner what makes you say that ? Snap coupler ? Or something else ?

[@dodge-ut6ti]

If AC had the dealer network of IH , they would have given them good run for their money.

@@bustersmith5569 hand brakes. To stop straight with a loaded wagon, stick your knees under the steering wheel, pull both hand brakes with your hands. Then decide how you can push the clutch, kick it in neutral and figure out where you want to land as it all lays over on it's side. If you ever drove one, you would already know.

[@leewatkins1610]

so was the C! the clutch on a muddy day would let your foot slip and hitm your shin!Over 2 million people have used real nasty words .

What is that tracked thing at 1:15 in the video?

[@JandLVideos]

18:55. That vertical rear manure spreader loader is not something I would want to operate is such close proximity to.

[@frankwurth5375]

They did. It was sold as the Harris Power horse. Used Allis power train, with an enclosed chain drive to the wheels same as used on motor graders.

Kudzu is a disaster

Love non color fading Kodachrome film!

Thanks again for another great video. Best one so far. Now I know where our invasive Kudzu came from.

17:50. What is that machine? Prototype AC combine?

[@JandLVideos]

I think that's a prototype rotary combine

[@MilkMan608]

Front discharge manure spreader! Typical Allis bass-ackward engineering.

[@davidshaw5118]

MilkMan608 I wouldn’t say that, they wanted to keep tongue weight up front. And also, front discharge slinger spreaders became widely accepted built by the likes of Knight, Gehl and H&S

[@marshakrebs4348]

Allis was the only only company who would stand behind their spreaders

[@bustersmith5569]

MilkMan608 you must be a Deere guy ?

The hay rake turns on a dime and gives 9 cents change? 😬
