Allis-Chalmers B

[daytime dave]

For a rookie (me too) you did an outstanding job leveling the pad.

Yes I’m getting it done but putting too many hours on the tractor.

You can never have too many hours on the tractor when you like it. Great job.

[Sir Henry]

My Allis B was delivered today. The belly mower is behind it and will be moved. I also have the half tracks for it.

Looks nice. Both where it"s at, and the tractor it self. I probably wouldn't have to worry to much about it being stole, but I would have folks asking is it for sale.

People have lots of lawn art around here. Only about a half dozen houses are on the road and pass it daily. I hear in the fall all that changes and the road is on a popular tourist route.

It will be decked out for holidays like Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas ifI get around to it and can come up with decorations.

That looks great as well as the pad you prepped for it.

What are the half tracks you mentioned?

They are for mud and snow. This is an online picture I found.

Those half tracks are really neat. I bet they are collector's items. Your display looks great.

The half tracks are half the value of the tractor. I’m debating of whether I should get it running. It ran and was a working tractor two years ago.

That is so cool, never seen tracks on a wheel tractor before. As you know, down on the Palouse the farmers mostly use tracked equipment to traverse those hills. We’re even seeing tracked combines. I assume the rear tires drive the tracks and the center axle keeps the tension on them? Thanks for posting the picture.

Tracks for ATV's up to full size trucks and SUV's.

Expensive
"Pricing varies depending on the kind of truck you're planning on equipping with tank tracks. TFLtruck reported that the custom Mattracks 150s fitted to the Sierra cost about $10,000 per track, for a total cost of $40,000. However, for lighter trucks, that price will likely go down

I was at a neighbors shed today running the motor home. I parked it there because it’s on a busy highway and it’s got a for sale sign on it.

A guy stops to ask about it and we started talking engines and he mentions a guy named Dennis. I said Dennis hauled my old Allis to my place and he knew where I lived from the description. Then he asked if I bought Larry’s old tractor because the shed was where the tractor was stored. I said yes and he told me he rebuilt it about three years ago. Small world.

He said it will run forever and the reason it wouldn’t start is because the gas is bad and the points are corroded.

Anyway the reason I’m posting is to show my new hat.

Gene, it's so nice that you are fitting right in. I love the hat. Get some good gas and touch up the points or get new ones.

I ordered the decals which means I can paint it and make it look new.

[Sir Henry]

The decals arrived today. I also ordered the manual for it.

Do you have antique tractor shows around? Maybe if you paint it and get it running, you could keep it displayed, then when tractor shows or old farm day events happen, you could attend and drive it in parades. But if you like me, you may not have a way to haul it.

[Ernie]

Really like the tracks. I think you should get it running if it was already rebuilt, should be a good asset to have. I might have tractor envy.

Lots of shows and every hamlet of 50 has a parade. I don’t have time to work on it this year.

Almost everyone here has an old tractor or farm equipment on display. It was rebuilt 20 years ago according to the last owner. At first I didn’t think I could get parts but have found I can get everything for it. They are known to be bullet proof and last forever.
