Unofficial Home of Old Simplicity & Allis-Chalmers Garden Tractors

Green with Envy

Recommended Posts

I stopped by a John Deere dealer in my state recently looking for any used Simplicity or Allis gear. A veteran salesman approached me and asked if he could assist me. I told him I was looking for any Allis Chalmers tractors and/or implements. His reply floored me: "You won't find anything of that high quality around here" he stated. As we talked it became clear he was not so much an Allis fan. But he was of strong opinion that the quality of products from Deere, Allis and other manufacturers were much higher ten years ago and the quality had declined significantly since Allis went out of business.

This dealer says he gets about one 9020 or AC 720 per year in trade. I asked him to alert me i f one shows up. He said he has quite a calling for those machines.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
