Dale Cook is a fourth-generation Ontario farmer with a friendly personality, easy laugh, and humble demeanor, although he owns a tractor that could make other collectors envious. Cook’s 1969 Allis-Chalmers Mfg. Co. Model Two-Twenty is a fine example of this rather rare model, but its low serial no. of 1026 makes it even more special. Between 1969 and 1972, beginning with serial no. 1004, the A-C factory in West Allis, Wisconsin, produced 1,765 two-wheel-drive units like Cook’s, plus 100 with front-wheel assist beginning in June 1970.

In the early 1970s, the International Harvester Co. had a line of heavy rear-wheel-drive tractors in the 66-series. The largest, the Model 1566, produced over 140 drawbar horsepower. This series was updated in 1976 to the 86-series tractors.

The year 1919 will be one of achievement,” declared the May 1, 1919, Chilton Tractor Journal. “It marks a milestone on the road of progress of the tractor industry. The production figures show that close to 300,000 tractors will be built. This means that the tractor industry will, in all probability, pass the truck industry, for there is every reason to believe that this year, for the first time, more tractors than trucks will be manufactured.”
