Recently inherited old tractors

My wife's parents have both passed away. My father-in-law collected anything and everything. In our possession, we now have three old tractors that he obtained.

One of the machines is an Allis-Chalmers. It's clearly identified on the engine hood. Where should I look for additional information? Is there a plate that would contain series information?

There are two others that look similar to an old Farmall Cub my grandpa had. They are ref and one has the steering column to the right side. Again, where should I look for information on the machine?

We live near Fayetteville, NC. Does anyone know any experts in the area that might be interested in taking a look at these?

Thanks!

Unless the estate is worth a million or two, from what I've read, there's no federal tax involved. And we aren't anywhere close to that. The ceiling has been rising every year for the past several years and the law will change in 2010. No matter what though, the whole sitch is a major pain in the arse.

Are there any websites that might offer me more info on these tractors? Will the serial numbers help determine the age? What's the best way to research them?

I'm sure we'll sell them eventually. I would love to get involved with restoring one or more of them them but it's just not possible. The situation is such that it'll take us years just to sort through all the things they've "collected." We're not looking to make a mint but we certainly want a fair price. What's the best way to determine their value?

Thanks again for all the information.

There's an Allis Chalmers D10. That number is clear.

I believe there's another Allis but we couldn't find a number and didn't know where to look on the one that I believe is a Farmall.

The unidentified Allis has a handcrank on the front. It will turn, which I would assume means the motor is not froze up.
