Help identify this tractor

[wickedardvark]

Picked up this old tractor recently. Previous owner says its a '73 or '74 Farmall Cub. I can't find any identifying markings on it and wanted to see if any of you Farmall experts can confirm. Thanks!

I would guess it might be older Allis-Chalmbers?

I can't tell you exactly what year, but a 73 or 4 cub would have much different sheet metal. Much more square in appearence. Ck on YTMAG.com, the farmall boys there will set you right.

What you have there is a Allis Chalmers B. Look to the right of the shifter, the serial number is cast into the trans casting around there.

 

[lostcreekranch]

The A-C B models were built from 1938 to 1957.

Here's what it can look like with a little TLC and $$$.

Good luck with your new "project"

Thanks everyone for the replies. I guess the fellow I got it from didn't know what he had! Doesn't bother me at all. Maybe one day it'll look like the one in that picture Rick! By the way, will the serial number allow me to tell what year model it is?

Google A-C Model B and you will find several antique tractors site with a lot of Information.

They are beauties.

 

[wickedardvark]

Thanks guys for all of the info. I really appreciate it!

 

[wickedardvark]

Found these numbers on the outside of the transmission casing. They don't seem to match any of the ones listed above. Any ideas about year model?

 

[MIKE R]

Thats not the serial. Its on top of the transmission casting about 2 inched back from the shifter. It will be a slightly raised rectangle. The numbers are inside of it. Might need to be wire brushed to see the numbers.

 

[wickedardvark]

Ok, found it. See what you guys think.

 

[MIKE R]

Its serial #B120353. So that makes it a 1952 model.

 

[wickedardvark]

Got it Mike, I see how that works now. Thanks for all your help!

This is a great site!

I've been visiting regularly for several years now and it never ceases to amaze me how much knowledge there is out there and how quickly it is exchanged. I'm sure that the OP could have gotten to the same place by a lot of on-line 'digging' but we are truly blessed to have this 'community' to learn from. Well done.
