Allis Chalmers D-19 runs


This afternoon I stopped by the barn where Allis is being worked on.  We've done many things to get her running.  I walked in and knew that Roger had some success.  The old tractor started and ran.  I drove the old girl down the road.  I think it's been about 13 years since the tractor has run and been driven.  A great afternoon. 
Now we'll work the kinks out of her, make sure she's reasonably fit and free of major oil leaks and mechanical problems, and then a new coat of paint.
