Allis-Chalmers B
Re: Allis-Chalmers B
I'd heard that too. Also they've put that stupid easy change oil filter on some of their home riding mowers. Sounds like a real good idea to me, $45 for a filter and a quart of oil, leave a quart of dirty oil in the engine. I'm sure they will be replacing a lot of engines (or complete tractors) a lot sooner than necessary.

Gene,
That Allis is a nice looking tractor. If you don't plan on using it, ask the owner to take the large hydraulic hoses / unit off. You will have a nice example of a vintage tractor.

Re: Allis-Chalmers B
Yep, my thoughts too. These old tractors are tough and surprisingly parts are plentiful.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Fri Jun 17, 2022 10:27 amThat little Allis B was a very popular small farm tractor in its day and there are still people who run them. Check out some antique tractor shows if you ever get a chance. If that one is still running, you might find it to be more useful than lawn art.

Re: Allis-Chalmers B
I’ve talked to the seller about it. Another person will trailer it here along with a picnic table. Instead of paying to have it moved I’ve offered to give him the hydraulics. The seller also has the half-tracks and belly mower.daytime dave wrote: ↑Sat Jun 18, 2022 10:53 amGene,

It seems it needs a new carburetor and they are almost impossible to find. I’m told it was made in 1949 the year I was born.

Re: Allis-Chalmers B
It's a nice tractor. I don't think anyone will have trouble finding your driveway.

I know how you feel about the idea of not being able to work on your tractor and equipment.

Re: Allis-Chalmers B
I finished leveling the spot. It took me awhile as I’m not the best tractor operator in the world. I parked my Brandon there for a photo shoot.
A closeup view coming down the road.
This view is from coming down my driveway to the road.
And a view from further up the road. Someone else wants to buy the Allis however they don’t have the money. The seller has given them 30 days because they bought a lot of other equipment.
I live on a gravel road but only have to drive 500 yards on it coming from town. Most of the roads here are paved.

Re: Allis-Chalmers B
Finished product was okay but glad I wasn’t paying me hourly. Same thing in my driveway where I’m making a turnaround. Yes I’m getting it done but putting too many hours on the tractor.
