 Topic: A lurker has joined
Posted: 11 Feb 2012 at 10:30pm |
Have been lurking for about three years here but now have joined. Have seen a lot of valuable information on this site and has helped me through the restoration of a 1950 'B'. The advertising vendors have helped out also. So thanks to all for the help. If this works, here are before and after pics of the 'B' This was completed in 2010. I plan to contribute as I can so beware. Dennis

Looks like a labor of love , a lot of hours spent to bring something back from just a old tractor to a beauty of a machine .

Wow! I think that before picture is the meanest looking B I've ever seen. Sure looks a lot prettier afterwards though. Welcome.

Thanks for the welcome and comments. The before pic is what it was when I got it, Chev hub caps and all. It was like a cow pie, the more I stirred it the more it stunk but we worked through it. Thanks Darryl for the Lynden Show info. I was there once a couple years ago. It's a great show and nice setting. Eldon - Yup, looks like the situation doesn't it. Engine was pretty sick. Charlie - The lights on the before pic were after market 12V. I converted it back to 6V and haven't found original lights for the price I am willing to pay. I have some red tractors also but this is the only AC at this point. It's a great hobby. Dennis

Hey Dick, I am an old guy.  Your posts on this site did have an influence on the outcome. I am not a stranger to tractors but somewhat new to Allis Chalmers. Thanks to all for the help. Dennis
