Allis-Chalmers Tractors: The Ultimate Tribute to Allis-Chalmers Tractors
(Town Square Books) by Chester Peterson, Lynn K. Grooms, Roger Welsch
Book Description: Allis-Chalmers' history is as rich as the
Persian orange paint that graced its farm tractors for nearly six decades.
From its beginnings in the farm equipment business in 1914 to its rise
as the third largest tractor producer in sales in 1936, Allis-Chalmers
has been known for innovations in design and sales and distribution.
"Vintage Allis-Chalmers Tractors" is a one-of-a-kind book (it's the
first large-format giftbook history of Allis-Chalmers) for collectors,
historians, and tractor enthusiasts, providing a detailed history of the
company's legacy along with over 100 spectacular photographs. Illustrations
include black-and-white historical photos, colorful period advertising
artwork, and contemporary color photos of collectible tractors.
"Vintage Allis-Chalmers Tractors" covers all models from 1914 on, including
the Monarch and Advance-Rumely models. Peterson and Grooms also discuss
Allis-Chalmers' various acquisitions and the mergers, plus the current
ownership by FiatAgri of Italy.
