Need some B Allis experts.

Scott, it is finished and also has another home. I couldn't decide wheater to keep my old C Farmall or the B-AC so I set them both out at the road for sale and the first guy to come by bought the B. I wasn't going to start another one for a while, but I found this old B, and since it was different I bought it anyway.
Here is the one I just finished, and the 2nd pic is of the 3PH
Later, Nat

Matt, that is a sharp CA. Does it have the snap coupler 3PH adapter or did someone convert it to 3PH? How is 3rd gear, and does the hand clutch work?
A man down the road has a CA that farmed the land I own and has had it since new. I tried to buy it , I told him I would restore it and keep it since it has a history here. I have first dibbs on it. It is all origional with the factory 2 row cvultivators, 2 bottom snap plow and 20 disc snap harrow snap coupler bush-hog and a trip bucket front end loader. It has been in a shed all it's life and is still a good sound solid tractor. You don't see many that have the origional equipment still with it. I drool over it every time I go by there, and" wonders never cease" my wife wants it here. Later, Nat

Matt, . Does it have the snap coupler 3PH adapter or did someone convert it to 3PH? How is 3rd gear, and does the hand clutch work?

It has the snap coupler set up but I converted it to 3ph so I could pull a finish mower , I kept all the parts so I can always convert it back. The CA is a 4 speed , 3rd gear is nice and I can mow in third although its a little wild if you have to go around a lot of trees. 4th gear can get you up to about 12mph on the road . I had to replace the hand clutch once for 800 dollars but it is great for rakeing because you can clutch with it and keep the PTO runnig when you get to the end of the row , it basically disingages the right axle. Moist of the CA's can with one rear remote . I'd get that CA when you can . Does your B have the 10X24 rear weels ?

 

[Nat]

Matt, mine does have the 10-24 rears with the 5 bolt pattern cast wheels. They have weights bolted to the inside that I didn't even see when I bought it.
I'll certainly by that CA as soon as it's for sale, you dont see many like that anymore. Later, Nat

Here a picture of my CA . I restored it severl years back but it has always been a working tractor , this one was made in 1952 and I use it to mow hay , pullt hay wagons and brush hog feilds . I didn't notice in your pictires if the the belt pulley on the back was still there .

That's a nice tractor Matt. My grandfather used to own a couple of those (Dairy Farmer) and I remember riding next to him on the fender for hours at a time. Probably not the safest thing in the world, but it sure brings back memories. I would love to buy a tractor like that someday to restore. A few years ago there was a barn fire at my grandfathers farm (now owned by my uncle). After that they sold off everything and got out of the business - included several old AC's. I wish I had thought to buy one from my uncle back then. Oh well! Someday when the wife lets me go for Tractor #2!
