It our hope you will feel like you have your own personal space on our home on the web Toy Tractor Times.com. In our continuing series of highlighting tractor brand history we are putting the spot light on Allis-Chalmers this month. The Persian Orange brand broke a lot of new ground in farm equipment history. The company's tractors, combines and implements have become collector favorites.
In this issue we look at some collectible AC toys celebrating landmark anniversaries. A key item to learn about in this issue is the famous Allis-Chalmers D-17 which is celebrating its 50th Anniversary. We have a great movie on Toy Tractor Times this month from 1958 about a farm family buying the all new D-17. Please enjoy several other great AC articles in this issue.
Look for a continued salute to Allis-Chalmers heritage in the July issue with our annual wheat harvest issue featuring 85 Years of Gleaner Combines.
Enjoy our features on collecting Allis-Chalmers on our "new look" Toy Tractor Times.
Until Next Times.....
