AC was a top builder of heavy construction equipment, maybe the best of the 1950's. Euclid took the title from A/C, because they built the TC12, and other twin power machines like the TS24 scraper, all used the 2 cycle 6/71 engine.

Rather get hay to the cattle......duhh

I love these AC promotional films, there was a lot of innovation back in the day, and still is. Unfortunately, there is a lot of foreign corporations that have got their hands on a lot of what goes on in the USA. God help us!

Very interesting piece of history. Thank you. In my first job as an analyst in 1987, we did a case study on why Allis Chalmers failed as a company and was acquired. - Poor management, failure to innovate anymore, expensive labor. This shows it for what it once was!
