I buy old bicycles and fix them up, especially old steel road (race) bikes and touring nikes. My wife is constantly asking how many bikes do I need. I must have explained the mathematical equation behind collections a thousand times. It's stock on hand plus one. Beautiful tractor and collection, mate. I can understand you being proud of them.
Great looking D21, would like to have one, but I guess their are as rare as hens teeth. He sure has a wonderful array of collections of the AC products, I saw the beautiful Gleaner and it all looks awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I only live about 15 miles from him and just stopped in this summer, amazing collection. There’s an old Allis Chalmers track tractor K at the limestone quarry near me at Gilmore City that he might be interested in.
There was one of these bought new by a local paving contractor. It pulled an 8 yard Hancock elevating scraper. It sold at Auction in the early 2000s. It brought pretty decent money at the time. I hope it didn't go to the pulling circuit like so many 21s did at that time. I knew when I saw it that it was not an everyday sighting.
It's a fourth of the cost of buying a muscle car. Same year Shelby 350 no engine or floor boards probably 75k and years to find parts along with 75k in restoration so yeah a A/C D21 with a 426 is money well spent!
I would imagine that the tractor disease is just as bad as the antique engine disease. It's an addiction always on the prowl for another fix, I can't help myself.
Because it wants to be as powerful and economical as a Minneapolis Moline. Ultimately failed. And that's sad.I had a few AC tractors and they deserved survival. But consider Deere. Anything but.

I worked a D17 back in '61, but I can't begin to imagine the power in this one.
That's a beauty!
Nice!!!

That's quite a collection! Very impressive!! I would love to see it, but my health doesn't allow that.
Nice machine.

Where Is this located?
@@calebclanton8918 A mile and a half northwest of Gilmore City.
Wow what a powerhouse, very unique!
I never knew that existed. We had a series 2 d21.

Awesome 👌
Our local dealer had a 1206 industrial, a collector snapped that puppy up fast, had a factory cab, and a fixed wide front.
👍
That’s quite a good looking machine.
Same color as my 1965 Allis Chalmers Forklift.
I buy the same Make and model of antique tractors....that way my Wife doesn't know whether they are coming or going....what this hobby makes one do!
One thing you never, ever do is get them all out together! Then she can’t count them and either keep track or exclaim that two are new!
@@RustyZipper away o*7
These tractor collectors must have a lot of money
Some do, some call it a disease! The only cure is more tractors!

I have an I-400 industrial. What is the color yellow code. I love it

And white is the show room tractor
Yes it is a disease but it's a good one to have. I've been blessed with a steam disease.
Because it is industrial caterpillar has two yellows construction and industrial yellow

PTO horsepower is theoretical with no actual PTO on the tractor.
On that particular tractor. PTO was available on all D21's
@Thomas Cotton Some industrials had PTO they ran a self loading Hancock scraper.
You got the disease its hard to get rid of lol
The only cure is more tractors!
