Allis-Chalmers B

Post by Sir Henry » Thu Jun 16, 2022 3:22 pm

I’m thinking of buying this AC tractor for lawn art. I think it would look great parked down by the road. Originally I was thinking an old short school bus from the 40’s or 50’s because I live on Ring School Rd.

This is where it would go. I need to finish leveling the spot.

Gene, that would look first class in that location.

Bet in your area you don’t need to be concerned with vandalism.

That 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.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Hey All,

I agree with the idea of restoring and using that AC tractor for chores around your place. Lawn ornament tractors are usually lesser tractors like John Deere 😁.

I'd want to build a roof over it to protect it from the elements, especially up there.

That's a beautiful piece of tractor history. It' looks like it's in good condition. To me, it looks to good to be lawn art and have the elements turn it into a rusted mess.

The tractor has been parked for five years and won’t start. Chances are the gas turned to varnish. It could be fixed. I don’t really need another working tractor and still think it would display nice. Concerns of it turning to rust be be taken into consideration meaning I will clear coat it and otherwise protect it. Keep in mind this isn’t a 1963 split window Corvette or a 1966 350 Shelby Mustang. Fully restored these tractors are only worth $2K to $5K.

I’m boycotting John Deere because they won’t let the farmers fix their own tractors.
