1940's My uncle's first tractor was an Allis Chalmers B. He got it after going to the big city of Houston and working. He decided he was gonna come back home and farm with my grandfather. Well, my grandfather was still using horses. So, my grandfather got the tractor and my uncle was still behind the horses. One evening after coming back from the field, my grandfather drove the tractor into the barn. He hollared "Whoa!!" but the little Allis didn't know that command and he ran through the end of the barn, denting up the nosecone pretty good. 50 years later..... My father has his own tractor repair business in the hometown where he grew up (and I did too). Lady comes by his shop, and says she has a tractor in her field that she wants to sell. Dad goes and looks at it. Little Allis B. Hood dented just like he remembers. So, we bought it. We didn't have the serilal number, but how many would have the grill banged up like it just went though the end of a barn? Haven't gotten to restore it yet. I think when I do, I am gonna leave the dents in the grill, and repaint it like it had run through the end of the barn the day before. Awesome stories like these on here just make you smile.
