    All I'm trying to say is sometimes #### isn't perfect, but we do the best we can.

    Yea that was one hell of a place. I didn't get to go inside and look at anything they had this one sitting outside when I got there.

    Years ago my company did tons of trucking for Allis Chalmers when they were still in West Allis. I guess the previous owner of that machine bought up tons of old AC tractors and parts when they closed up. They guy who bought this one was a friend of the guy who started my company and asked us to go pick it up. They had a guy up there that loaded it for me. I had to drive it off though. Was interesting to figure out how it worked. I grew up in the city so that thing was the first time I had ever been in a tractor. Took me a few minutes to find enough buttons and levers to figure out how to start it and get it off the deck.

    The guy that owned those tractors married a Rhibar from Milwaukee. So there was money there

    Never argue with stupid people. They will bring you down to their level and beat you with experience .
