Explanatory Note:  This
Form 8-K/A amends the Form 8-K dated January 23, 2009, of Alamo Group Inc. to
reflect that, as anticipated, Ernst & Young LLP issued its report on the
financial statements of Alamo Group Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2008
in conjunction with the March 11, 2009 filing by Alamo Group Inc. of their
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.  Accordingly,
the change in auditors became effective March 11, 2009.
Item 4.01 Change in
Registrant's Certifying Accountant
As a result of a competitive
request for proposal, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Alamo
Group Inc. (Company) decided on January 16, 2009 to change the Company's
independent registered public accounting firm from Ernst & Young LLP (Ernst
& Young) to KPMG LLP (KPMG).  The change in auditors became effective on
March 11, 2009 following the completion by Ernst & Young of its report on
the financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2008.  On
March 4, 2009, the Audit Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors
approved, KPMG as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm
and to audit the Company's financial statements for the year ending December
31, 2009, subject to shareholder approval at the Company's 2009 annual
shareholders' meeting.
The reports of Ernst & Young on
the financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2008
and 2007 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not
qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the Company's two most
recent fiscal years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through the date of the
filing of this Form 8-K/A, there have been no disagreements with Ernst &
Young on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement
disclosures, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements if not
resolved to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young would have caused it to make
reference to the subject matter of such disagreements in connection with their
reports on the financial statements for such years and any interim periods. 
Further, there have been no reportable events as defined under Item
304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K during the Company's two most recent fiscal
years preceding the date of this filing.
During the fiscal years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007 and through the date of this Form 8-K/A, neither the
Company, nor anyone acting on their behalf, consulted with KPMG with respect to
the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that would have been
rendered on the Company's consolidated financial statements, or any matters
that were either the subject of a disagreement (as that term is used in Item
304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K and the related instructions to Item 304 of
Regulation S-K) or a reportable event  (as described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of
Regulation S-K).
2
The Company provided Ernst &
Young with a copy of the foregoing disclosures on this Form 8-K/A and requested
that Ernst & Young furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the
Securities Exchange Commission stating whether it agrees with the above
statements, and if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.  The
Company has received the requested letter from Ernst &Young stating that it
does agree, and a copy is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this Form 8-K/A.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the
requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly
