Up until a year ago or so, we had the country's largest privately owned/operated Allis museum nearby. It covered about 6 acres or so, with more buildings than you could count. He had one entire building dedicated to the G model. He had G tractors that no one had ever even heard of or seen. Several prototype G's. He had one that the front was converted to a carry-all for delivering parts around the Allis factory, and he had pictures of it being used in the factory to deliver those parts. A truly amazing collection. Hundreds of tractors, implements, parts, and even an entire Allis dealership that he'd purchased and replicated in a pole building, and it contained thousands of NOS parts still in the original bags. He had a really neat late WC high crop for working in cane fields that came from Louisiana. A couple Speed Patrols. Very early Allis tractors on steel. A pick-up truck (Chevrolet I think) that had Allis badges and was used by the factory maintenance workers. A couple TL series front end loaders. Several Terra Tigers and a couple dozen AC garden tractors. Even an Allis welder that weighed more than two men could move. I wanted to buy it but I don't have a shop with a concrete floor to move it around on. More rare stuff than I'd ever seen in my life.
He finally sold it all after 40+ years of being open to the public by appointment only. I dropped by one day and he spent 6 hours showing me the entire facility. I ended up buying a NOS Allis generator that mounts to the rear of a 700/900 series Allis garden tractor. About 40% of the collection was purchased by one guy that was building his own Allis museum. He was coming by about once every 2 months and filling up a 32ft gooseneck trailer.
The old farmer has since gotten in to restoring old automobiles with his son, since his son wasn't interested in tractors. He already owned several hotrods and other classics. A 1920-30's Cadillac, Model T's and A's, etc.. I need to stop by again and see what he's up to. I'm sure he'd still show me around.
Sorry for the threadjack guys.
