Ah yes, what a beautiful story. The dude got a new tractor, the wife got a new dress and inexplicably, about 9 months later the boy got a new baby sister.
Which they will name: "Alice" .

@@haweater1555 I see what you did there!
Is it a coincidence the wife is relatively attractive? I think not, and you are probably right.
Mother even knows: the greater the boys, the bigger the toys! ;-)
I love those videos!
When America was truly great!!! The American company cared about its customer and repeat business. When the company actually cared about its employees.
I grew up in an Allis shop, they were great!
Beautiful video. Every minutes are show a golden age of a great country.
(Greatings from Europe, Hungary.)
Formerly great!
As a former former FFA member and 4her its cool to watch the tapes from the 1940s to 1990s. I was born in 2009 and our farm runs allis chalmers.
My father was a dealer for AC. This really brings back memories! Keep em coming!
Awesome video, i have my Papa's D-14, year model of me, Lost my Papa a year ago at 94,he was amazing man, im going to get started trying to restore it,he kept it running so smooth, love this film, thank you J and L,
I hope "Martha" picked a Persian Orange dress or 2 to go with that beautiful new tractor!
That was back when people had pride in their manufacturing jobs and built good tough products that lasted for decades our old '40s or '50s 8N Ford tractor still runs to this day never been rebuilt never needed anything other than plugs tires normal wear parts it's 70 years old and still being worked like when it was brand new I'd like to see a modern tractor last that long
Damn, learned to drive on a 9N in ‘65. Love to have one now just to putt putt! I can still remember the sound like yesterday. Good old 4 cyl. Flatheads!
@@tomrogers9467 thats cool yeah I learned to drive on that 8N Ford tractor when I was probably 8yo they do have a distinct sound good 🚜 tractors.
Martha. As you know, performance always equates to how big it is!!!.
57 was the year my D-17 was born... nice to see how it would have looked on the showroom floor.
I have 2 Allis challmers both 1954, one is a B the other a CA, there small but very nice little tractors,,
Great times! Everything has gotten so big and complicated.
Love all the older tractors you don't need a laptop to fix them I have a 1978 Ford 3600 with over 14000 hours and never had a bolt turned on the engine
for those old ones you only need the laptop to look up the assembly drawings ;)
Let’s not forget the old hit and miss engines that are over 100 years old and still working. There is a difference between something being built versus being assembled.
Wish they did sales like this more often
I have been to the dam in tennessee and i never knew that
Another great classic AC film....
what a good looking Tractor
No hablo inglés
Tengo un D17 por el momento no lo uso pero lo quiero poner en movimiento
Sus condiciones mecánicas son buenas
Los felicito
Thank you very enjoyable to watch.
It's a shame there gone ! Like Oliver farmall MM International,, now we have junk !
Chineseium junk. Our politicians sold us out to foreigners. All we have now is junky ass equipment. I’m holding on to my ford 5600. You’ll never get one of these cheap casting India or Chinese built tractors that will be around as the old well made American equipment. It’s actually an embarrassment to have to buy this foreign crap. It’s like these foreigners are our boss.
@Phil Hall have you heard of the Mahindra, those tractors are crap!!
yep
They still make John Deere
My Dads first Job in 55 was unloading of trains and putting together AC tractors at the Dealer ...
They should be up for a Grammy with their excellent acting ..
8mm film
puts it in the projector and he realizes that the last minute he got the old 1940s stag film (Debbie likes cream ) mixed up with tractor film
Lmao
“ Nothing wrong with his aim, is there Dad? I dunno, ask Martha!”
There have been (and are) a few Allis tractors in the Netherlands, but I could Not find one in Germany. Also Gleaner Combines.
It's a pity!
The Allis tractors were great! All thumbs Up!
Especially this "Family affair" ist lovely, touches ones heart and tells about a byegone era..
Thanks!
Thank You for publishing!
Ist there any man who doesn't Like to have a wife Like Martha? I have!
I was a kid on the farm driving a WD 45 and it got help with a new D 17, I drove them both a lot. Both were gas burners and they were a great on fuel and did a lot of work. I left the farm when I was 16 and became an electrician, when I got on the second big job all the switchgear was A/C and lots of the electric motors. I spent a lot of time working on switchgear and replaced several bearings on their motors, they were well built.
I hated to drive the WD-45, you had to sit to one side, it was very awkward. The D-17 was much better. The first tractor i drove was a Farmall B, at least with that, you sat all on one side, and, they were very nice to cultivate with, you sat right over the row. I did like the hand clutch, hi-lo on the D-17, that, was nice when baling, it was their way to give you live power to the pto, and, it worked well that way.
That buddy seat looks real safe :-))
I hope you guy's find more of these videos, I've got all the Deere videos that the 2-cylinder club has out. I really enjoy watching any video about farming before the 70's.
Where and how can one geht those great Videos??
Greetings from Europe
The best part?
Where he breaks out the projector!! Man times have changed!!!
I was waiting for Clark Griswold to appear from the attic to watch them! My childhood on 8mm! 70 now, gonna die one day soon.
Yes the wife is attractive and very patient too boot women are the back bone of the family bar none
That’s when farming was real.
It's not real now?
Real cold fall weather (no heated cab).
Real tired arms (no power steering)
Real jerk when hitting a rock (no auto reset bottoms)
Real stuck in wet conditions (no four wheel drive).
My father used to plow with an AC WD 45 with none of those things. Now I plow with them all, including GPS guidance, MP3 playing radio and a loader to dig out and move stones.
Didn't have to be a slave to the bank back then if you didn't want to be. Try that now.
@@haweater1555 Now it’s Real expensive when John FuckingDeere won’t let you repair your OWN equipment!
53 Buick Century and tractors still running 2021
This was awesome thanks for sharing this gem.
Very beautyful tractor
My grandfather had a D19 I road on it as a kid and I know the farmer that owns it know I should go visit it/ drive it I know he would let me
Gradually watched that plant slide from a place that employed 5000 to s strip mall and business incubator. Tractor plant was the first to go and December. 2020 saw the last of the office buildings tumble..
Really
15,000
Nice flat land! If they lived in the hills a 3 bottom would have been big enough.
All a D17 would pull around here in the hills. Never saw one with a 5 bottom, even in the light soils in the river bottoms. Never saw a WD45 with a 4 bottom either, always 3-14s.
Fantastic video
This was back when companies actually cared about the quality of its products that it made.
Not any more,nothing but compukerized garbage.
I’ll start a company that cares if you’ll buy my product, it’ll be 5 times as much as the one next to it, but it’ll be made better and I’ll care what you think, deal? It’s our fault for buying cheap crap when we can buy quality not the companies...
Thats the reason so many of the products made back then are still running these young folks that hate America should watch these films maybe they would appreciate how great we all really have it
And its customers.
@@robertw1871 The corporations have sold out Americans with their short-sightedness and greed in search of short-term profits by exporting their manufacturing to China. To some extent companies leave us without options for buying good value versus the cheapest when they are all exporting manufacturing to China. i always try to buy American, as it was the way I was brought up, and I try to buy value, not the cheapest. Sometimes I can't find what I need that is made anywhere but China.
@@slundgr Amen brother, that’s me as well, problem is our neighbors… have a gander at the local Walmart, I’d bet everything I hold dear that it’s the only store in town that’s packed with customers, and it’s been that way for decades… -back when we had a choice that’s what the majority of us choose, and here we are… it’ll be a hell of a chore undoing it, best we can hope for now, if you’re honest with yourself, is better value and quality from China…. sadly…
These old gas tractors sound like my sa200 welder. God love the continental engine
Gotta love the old flatheads!
Looks Like AC was in a lot more than just farm equipment like IH was....
I doubt that a D-17 could pull a five bottom plow, unless it was very light soil i doubt that it could even pull 5-14's. I grew up driving one identical to the one in this clip. We pulled 3-16s in light soil with no hills. They were a tough little tractor, but, i can not imagine one pulling a 15 foot disc either, more like a ten footer.
I still have the 3-16 plow that came with our D-17, and it pulled it with no problem thru our mostly clay soil with some muck in the north field. And our fields were far from flat land! And it had no problem pulling our 10’ wheeled disc thru that same ground.
@@notajp I agree, that sounds about right. I think that tractor had about 50 hsp, maybe 55hsp. and, i can not see it pulling a five bottom plow or a 15 food disc, i think their claims were a little exagerrated. Funny how much land got farmed with that size of equiptment, but, the farms were smaller, and, there were a lot more of them. I have to think that if a company built one today, or a John Deere 4020 they would have no problem selling them. There just was an article in the Minneapolis Mn. paper about the very strong demand for tractors that were forty years old, they are being overhauled and used, because they are better than the ones being built today. And, a person can fix them, instead of having all of the computer stuff built in.
Agreed. Very loose soil. My D19 struggles with the 4-16 in ground that has been worked the year before.
We pulled a 5-14 with a 70 johnDeere was tough. Could run with it with a 4020 John Deere mostly silt clay loam. Was tough with when we hit what we call in east Arkansas a sassafras ridge
@@robertpayne2717 When i farmed, i had a 4020 diesel, the last year they made them. I pulled a semi-mount IH 3-18 auto trip plow. I had heavy soil, and, i liked that combination about the best, that plow had a lot of clearance and i could plow corn ground without chopping or discing the stalks. i used a chisel plow on my soybean and small grain land. It all depends on the soil type, and, when you plow. In Minnesota we like to do our heavy tillage in the fall, that, gives the soil the freeze/thaw cycle to loosen up, and, because of our late springs, the fall plow ground dried and warmed up faster. The fall plowed ground was tougher, usually a bit dryer, but, it gave you a headstart in the spring.
They would all be rolling in their grave to see what we have become!!!
Open borders to the south!
Great advertising video. One thing that looks out of place is a farmer wearing a tie to visit an implement dealer. Maybe in '57 that was the thing.
I was trying to identify the year and make of the car they are driving in this video..
‘53 Buick Special.
It's interesting to think in a bit over 20 years after this video was produced they would be making tractors that had over 10 times to horsepower of the d17
Oh the good old days when america was great! How things have changes for the worse!
That salesman is amazing lol 😆
Wuhh. Old school real countrys backbone . Now its a empty shell like a child just buying
I like Allis Chalmers but those transmissions were not the best as far as shifting, and I found them uncomfortable to sit on and run. Maybe it's just me, but I'd love to own one though!
Shit!That wide front is cool!
Martha?
to them it was cutting edge technology. the equal to looking at a nine rx nowadays
She's kinda sassy. Keeps ol' Ralph in line
The tractor plowed ,so the Dad did too , hence a good day ,and evening . Mom was happy too.
Junior looked after that while Dad was out plowing
This film is fantastic!
How many horsepower have this d14 and d17 ?
D-14 31hp drawbar 34 belt has, d-17 48 hp drawbar 52 belt hp
@@JandLVideos ok, thank you very much
Alis carmlers made good bulldozers back when this bidio was made from what i heard they made the best dozzer and wee hade a old alis charmler fork lift it was basicaly a d14 ran in reverse with a pallet fork lift they were realy good old lifts for construction i use to see them the the erly 200s and never see them any more
I just noticed that the farmer's wife is also a quick change artist. Between 6:30 & 7:40 she manages to change dresses and necklaces. So, she doesn't need to go dress shopping.
Soiled her dress with the salesman in the back room while dad and son were perving over their new tractor!
Dad Gaylord worked at Allis Chalmers then Semens Allis and retired in early March of 1979 so was wondering if you heard of Gaylord Brooks ? You may have heard of Jim Zaycheck and John Jacobbison as they were there in the 80s before you retired ! Dad worked there for 38 years . Maybe you saw my Dad walking to lunch from the Allis Chalmers plant ? YOu proubably did just cant recall right now as he was working from like the 50s till 1979 !
Quick question ? On the gleaner I got from a old timer do any one of y’all have any problems with the duetz air cooled engine cause several old timers told me that engine catches fire ?
One thing I've heard is make sure you keep it clean
J and L Videos what would make it catch fire?
@@michaelwittmann5103 fodder,,, debree,,,
Im guessing the D 17 replaced the WD 45?
Yes
The WD45 was way more similar to the D15 for horsepower.
I NEVER UNDERSTND HOW THEY WENT BROKE
Time traveling Capt. Picard buys a tractor.
"Make It So"
@@JandLVideos Damnit, Jim, I’m a doctor, not a farmer!
when america was proud and tractors were made i the good ole u.s.a .an when farmers actually worked .unlike nowadays we have lazy farmers who just sit in the tractor and press a button to let the computer work the field
I take it from your comment that you walk everywhere , wash your clothes in the creek and don,t have any internet access....
Your ignorant.
Once America was great , now 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Greetings from Bosnia 🇧🇦
Why did AC go broke? They were huge!!!!!!! Bigger then Caterpillar
They had their hand in too many different interests. Had they concentrated on the Ag and Excavation side of things, they likely would still be around in as much as they were then. Mis-management, Government changing it's mind, bad farm economy, and most profits coming from 1 or 2 sources put them down.
We had bad luck with an Allis Chalmers WD. We got rid of it and bought a John Deere 630.
Pretty good she gets a dress he gets a $5700 tractor. FYI that's about a $60,000 dollar tractor in today's money.
A 1957 Chevy Bel Air was about $1700
Does anyone on here know where I can get a main hydraulic pump for an allis chalmers 8070 1984 4wd model please it would be much appreciated and also do you guys know where I can get a diagram of an 8070 or owners Manuel
Check with the Allis Chalmers forum. Great website with loads of information from dedicated Allis members. Good luck.
Where are you located as far as state?
Tractor supply for repair Manuel’s, junk yardsfor pumps
Strip it down and repair it
Todays salesmen don't even know where the unit came from let alone where it was manufactured..
I remember the LA county tractor
We have a old d17 all fixed up we hade to upgrade 3pt hitch their hitch is great" but" you cant find the atacments and when u do they want more for the atacments in good shape then the tractor coast new .so we upgraded or down graded what ever you call it to a standard type
Does anyone know the actress' name who played the mother?
I wish we knew! We did figure out it was filmed in Dekalb Illinois

What about the tractors ?
I wonder if the son in this video is still alive and if their are any present day interviews. Be interesting what he had to say about this little movie. If anyone has any of their names, I would love to look up the participants in this movie.
looked like 10th rate actors to me , about as close to the reality of the day as ice road truckers is today

They should also go to the car dealership and get a new car. 😊
Poor lady...lol
It's hard to believe Allis Chalmers lived into the 60s with that weird upside down proprietary hitch.
I have a WD 40 ..with a 40 hp Motor
Back when people knew what gender they were.
But there were way fewer choices! 🤡
😮o
Russian Tractors are best nowadays. The 57 hp Belarus has three plows but it is awesome. The only challenger was 55 hp Mc Cormick International directly coming from UK with four plows.
I suppose the Russians also make the best “Commiebine.”

Ha Ha In ‘57 Martha would have been home working. No say in farm equipment purchases.
It was all part of the military industrial complex. And I’d sure get busy with Martha.
Shouldn't she be quiet when men are talking?

@@thevillageeclectic sorry sugarpuss, are my brownies done?
I never tell anything downing to the one that may give me sex someday/some night. Talking down to your sex partner can cause one to be a very “handy” person! Some cold nights can be expected, my first wife never learned that, so my 3rd wife has never crossed that bridge, nor have I!
