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. A side view.

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.

I think its to cool for lawn art. Id want to get it running and use it

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.

Gene, look for a nice little John Deere model L.

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