Yaz AllCrop's Weblog http://yazallcrop.wordpress.com All Things Allis, All Crop, and whatever from a exiled hobby farmer Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:20:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU en hourly 1 Model 40/66 Parts Manuals Free Download http://yazallcrop.wordpress.com/2008/07/14/model-4066-parts-manuals-free-download/ http://yazallcrop.wordpress.com/2008/07/14/model-4066-parts-manuals-free-download/#comments Mon, 14 Jul 2008 00:16:14 +0000 yazallcrop http://yazallcrop.wordpress.com/?p=28

I was able to get the parts manuals for the 40 and 66 completed and loaded up to the website. These are no longer in print and usually only available as tattered used on ebay.  To get to the free downloads click here. These are large files so it will take some time to load.  I will have the  parts catalogs for all the models up eventually…

I finally got the new products page live. The big news is I will now start listing parts for other beloved AC implements as I have the chance to add them.  Right now I just have belts listed for the sickle mowers and rotobalers.  The new page allows you to drill down to the particualr implement and will have the capability to provide additional information about the part such as an illustration of where the part goes on the implement.  I hope to have a cache of NOS parts I will have access to listed by fall…You can access the new parts page directly here

Fuel Prices! http://yazallcrop.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/whats-up-fuel-prices/ http://yazallcrop.wordpress.com/2008/05/05/whats-up-fuel-prices/#comments Mon, 05 May 2008 01:14:01 +0000 yazallcrop http://yazallcrop.wordpress.com/?p=26

Yes, I have been quietly lately, guess I’d better let you all know I am still alive!  Well, Spring has finally arrived, so great to see everything coming back to life, and yes I still have the urge to plow.

I have been thinking about attending one of the big AC gatherings this year. I would of love to go to the Little K harvest, The Orange Spectacular, or Dale Haymakers show in Paris Ill. Unfortunatly they all are in the Midwest, and I am now 8-12 hours away.  So I did a rough calculation on fuel costs for my diesel pickup: H$ly C$w!! ….. Looks like the fuel cost are going to do me in.  Its a shame, I would love to meet some you AC Guys in person, and being a vendor I should show up.  Another issue is the distance.  I like driving, but my body doesnt. I tend to get very sleepy behind the wheel.  A 12 hour drive both ways is a killer.  Maybe I can find a partner to split the cost and drive time…well enough thinking out loud…

Getting down to business, was able to get a batch of wheel busings for the 60/66’s manufactured  as there are no more available in AGCO land…Also, finishing up the new inventory page.  Should have it up by months end… Better organized, easier to read and more information..stay tuned..

Here is a clip of the Little-K Harvest at Marion Klutzke’s place in Indiana.  Shows the complete line up of All-Crops in action.

Gerry King, antique iron collector from Ireland,  shipped a SP-100 in a shipping container from Nebraska to Ireland to add to his collection of farm equipment.  Seems there was only one SP-100 that ever made it to Ireland prior and it had since been scrapped.   I was able to round up the belt set for Gerry, and he has been kind enough to send some photos of the restoration.  Looks like a job well done.. Note that he shortened the header so he could get the combine down the narrow Irish roads. Just in time for Saint Patricks Day, here are some pictures of the “Green”All-Crop

Many of you are no doubt familiar with the old two-fuel tractors…start up on the more expensive gasoline, then switch over the cheaper “distallate”..Well Deutz had developed a two-fuel engine that you start up on diesel, then switch over the raw vegetable oil… Not a new concept really; the first diesel engine ran on vegetable oil. Furthermore there are folks who run diesel engine powered cars on waste vegetable oil.  I have another little business selling supplies to these folks called www.greenroadenergy.com  But this is the first time an OEM engine manufacture has come out with a full warranty diesel engine that will run on veggie oil…

Here is a link I found on www.allischalmers.com that shows an All-Crop 60 w/ a corn head in action. Equipment is owned by Andrew Gubbels. Note the combine is taking only 1 row as the rows were 30″ while the cornhead was built for 40″ rows..

Well, another year gone by. Where does the time go?  Thanks to all our customers, suppliers  and supporters for making this another great year.

Our goals for 2008:

1. Get drapers available for the model 40 combine.

2. Make available more manuals, parts manuals in particular.

3. Overhaul the website (a 2007 goal not achieved) to make it more informative and effective in finding parts and combines. 

 4. Get that new drill press assembled to allow us to pre-drill holes for the cylinder bars.

5. Get to at least one of the Allis equipment shows with a truckload of parts.

Lets revisit this list at the end of 2008 and see what we accomplish..

May your 2008 Be Great!
