Dick Chatterton has been busy getting the
inventory ready for winter. We have had several
beautiful fall days with bright sun light southerly breezes.
Here he is posing next to a Super MD Farmall and a Super M

Rain and
snow in the forecast again, this is the hardest time of the year to
get pictures taken as there is mud everywhere. The shop
heater is blazing most of the day and surprisingly warm.
Bob is in a trading mood so call if you see an interesting
tractor on the site. We have a Farmall 460 Diesel in the shop now, no pictures yet but they
will be coming, and soon we will begin work on another 54
Farmall Super H. Most of the sale pending
tractors will be moving to sold soon as deliveries are
caught up.

We
just added several plows on the accessories page and we are
busy with more custom restorations than we have been in a
while so we added a few tractors that we had purchased or
traded for that were in line for restoration. The
neighbor brought over his
un-restored 1929 International Harvester
1020, an interesting tractor that might be of interest.
We have
a few un-restored Farmall Super MTA's. We just listed a few nice restored Farmall
Tractors on the Farmall page. We also just listed a very nice Furgerson
Anniversary T035 that turned out very nice and a John Deere
Model 66 plow that is in very good condition. If you are
looking for a practical Christmas gift for your favorite
Tractor collector or restored Tractor, take a look at our
tractor covers.
Our tractor covers are hand made
for Chat's Tractors locally by a good
friend so you get good quality and the satisfaction that
your purchase is helping a local business. We have had several repeat orders
for covers, and we think that you will be pleased with the
quality. We now have covers in Orange and Green
material and are starting to take orders for Christmas.
These make fine gifts for that hard to please tractor
collector.
Here is

We restored
an Allis D-15 recently and have a video with before, during,
and after pictures. You will need a high speed
connection to view it but it might help give some insight
into our business. We just finished a second D15
Series II and you will find it on our Allis Chalmers page.

We do
not offer any financing but our webmaster is recommending
the Lending Club for personal and car loans. It is a
novel idea and certainly beats credit card rates. Here
is a link to their website Lending Club
or you can go here to fill out a loan application.

has been using this site to earn higher interest than are
currently available with CD's. He has been getting
rates over 9%Check out their rates

We are
still looking for another Super MTA
Diesel to restore, we like to always have a couple on hand and we
are down to just one. There is a backlog of work to be done before we can even
think about getting out in the fields again but we have one
eye on the almanac. Look for some new videos, my web
guy wants me to get some more taken and we will soon. We did
put out a page with several videos and we will try and add
more.
Also check
out the video of the wide front Super MTA Diesel on the
Farmall page. This video was taken earlier in the year
but it gives you a detailed listing of the updates we
performed on this restoration. It is cold here is
Illinois. Maybe the cold weather is causing the
Farmville Loading issues ..
We shipped our first
tractor to Belgium in December and continue to get inquiries
from overseas. We can get tractors to a facility where
they are put into containers and look forward to selling
additional tractors overseas.
Owning a finely restored tractor rekindles the
memories of the people that worked on those machines during
the 50's and 60's. Browse through our website and enjoy the
sites and sounds of these old tractors, and rekindle a memory or
two.
Dick is
considering a corn or pellet furnace and is wanting
recommendations. Of course he has access to corn but
we found this site that allows you to purchased wood pellets
by the ton. Now that looks like it might be a bargain if
you have the ability to split the volume with a friend or
two.
Watch
our Tractor Video "Farming
in the 50's" in which we highlight several
of our tractors displayed with period equipment.
We got the video camera out again, watch the video of our 3
unusual prototype tractors:
"
3 tractors that were never made
"
Just click the link to the left to see our current Ebay
tractor auctions. Bob is selling his favorite Ford
Truck and we added it to the Truck page. It is a one
owner F350 Supercab Dually with towing package.
We have added some parts that we normally
have overstocked on the Allis And the Farmall page. It
will take us a few weeks to get them all added so bear with
us as we work through the kinks.
We are too busy to do our own hauling but John has hauled
several tractors for us this year.
He also hauls cars, boats, tractor tires and weights so visit his website at
www.haulingtractors.com
and send him an email for a
quote.
The tractors that you see on this site may be 50+
years old but they are in working condition and we take them
out once in a while to work the ground. Some of
the tractors that we have are rotated around our farm to plow, disk and
mow. We currently have over 50 tractors in
inventory, we think we have one of the finest selections around.
If you see a tractor on the site and would
like to see a video,
we can post video of any tractor listed but you will
need a fast connection and it takes at least 7 days for us
to get the video on the web site.
If you buy from us we
want you to be satisfied and we gladly will provide you with
a list of customers that have purchased one or more of our
fine tractors. We also have several pages with pictures of
tractors that we have sold, click
Sold
Tractors. Check it out, we get emails every week
from folks that recognize a friend or old acquaintance that
has purchased a tractor from us. When you see a tractor that you like on
the next page be sure and click on the tractor picture to
see additional images.
Our Webmaster has been looking at banks that loan
money for tractors and discovered a company that let's you
bid for loans like you would for a CD. He has
purchased a few loans but it might be worth checking out. Check it out here
