This auction is for a mighty fine Allis Chalmers WC tractor or at least what is left of one.

I bought this a few years ago from a neighbor.  I sold it here on ebay to a guy two years ago along with some other parts tractors.  When he got here he did not have enough room on his trailer so he had to leave this one.  I have not heard from him for over a year so this is what happens - it gets resold and my darling bride gets the funds!

The serial number stamped into the rear axle housing is:  117177.  It is a cast housing, not a stamped one.  It also does not have the Waukesha engine like the first 25 WC's had!

What you see in the photos is what you get.  If you don't see it, it probably is gone.  I can verify for you that the wheels are not there.  They are not buried in the sod, they are gone.  So do not come to get it and blow your spark plug because you think someone stole the wheels or anything else that is gone.  They are gone in the photos!  A famous bank robber was asked one time why he made a career our of robbing banks.  His dry reply was that he robbed banks because that was where the money was.

The mag is gone, the starter is gone, the generator is gone, the forementioned wheels are gone, and once again, if you do not see it in the photos, it is gone.

The rubber is bad on the steering wheel.  The engine is stuck.  The fenders are bent and rusted through in places.

It does have the power cultivator lift and foot brakes!  Wow this one was fancy and expensive when new, the farmer that bought this one must have sold some fat cattle fed by the old timer color chart - Red clover hay, Reids Yellow dent corn, & Clear cool water.

I was taught to rake hay with a WC Allis just like this one except it had hand brakes.  The last thing I was told when I was cut loose with it the first time was to not touch the hand brakes and to be sure and avoid the single hickory tree in the middle of the field - I bet you can see where this story is headed.  As soon as dad got out of sight, I started to use the hand brakes on the ends because that made it so much easier to turn sharp and even better it made the tractor sound cool as it spun around.  Each round I got closer and closer to the hickory tree and I finally decided that I was such a good rake operator that I would show dad and get every last stalk of hay raked up from around the hickory tree.  So when I got up close to it, I grabbed the hand brake to spin around the tree and it stuck!  The tractor turned so sharp that the tire grabbed the corner of the New Idea steel wheeled rake and flipped it up into the air!  The only thing that saved me, was that as it was coming down onto my 10 year old head, it hit the hickory tree, got caught in the branches, and the whole works stopped.  The engine died and there I sat.  I sat there for the better part of an hour trying to figure out how to explain all this.  I walked across the creek to where dad was mowing with our BIG tractor, a Massey Ferguson 65 and a John Deere sickle mower.  He knew something was up so he stopped the tractor and met me halfway across the field.  Not a word was said as I followed him back across the creek and through the woods to the field I had been raking.  As soon as he came out of the woods, he stopped, chewed on a piece of foxtail, looked at the hickory tree with a hay rake stuck up in its branches, patted my head, and said "Just don't tell mom".  I would after that always ask dad when we could cut that stupid tree down, and he never would do it.  He died here a few years ago and I don't think I will cut it either.  When I see it, I think what a grace it is to have patience with our children.  Getting mad would not have taught me near as good of a lesson.

The tractor is 10.5 feet long - (it is illegal to use the metric system when measuring a WC), and 6 feet wide.

I do not know what it weighs, but a fully tricked out one weighed around 2800 pounds, so this one is less than that, remember - there are no wheels.

No reserve!  High bidder gets it!  I started out the bid at $150.00.  If it is not worth that, off to the scrap yard she goes.

Do not ask me to sell it early, or take less than the starting price. I will not end the auction for a local sale either. I can load it onto anything that you send to pick it up. Delivery for an additional fee is a possibility within 250 miles of Fulton, Mo, 65251. E-mail me for a quote. I have a neighbor kid that helps me on the farm that will deliver stuff sometimes. I require payment in full within one week of auctions end. Once it is paid for, there is no hurry for you to pick it up - take six months if need be! If you don't come get it after six months have passed since the end of the auction, it will be resold, and my wife gets the proceeds. If you have a legitimate reason why you need to wait longer than six months to pick up your purchase, contact me and we will work something out. If you have any questions, you can e-mail or call me at (573) 219-6611. Thanks for looking and please check out my other auctions!

I am a cattle farmer here in Mid-Missouri, so I am flexible about when you want to come and get items you have purchased from me, but I try and keep a schedule for my families benefit. I ask that you come between 9:00 in the morning and 4:00 at night. I am not available on Sundays whatsoever - that is God and family day, so don't ask! Just because I am a farmer does not mean that I am here everyday, I travel around to auctions and surplus sales and am gone several times a week. So don't do like some folks have in the past and drive 800 miles to get here and find out I am gone. You must contact me before you just show up! My granny always said that showing up unannounced was rude - you have to give people notice so they can get presentable.
