Good save! Looks like she's got the wide fenders and spoke wheels from a war B. Looks like everything's mostly there. Got the SN?

I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

What do you mean by war tractor, it was made in the war years, or is it a military B?

War tractor means built during WWII. Many had steel wheels and many normally sheet metal parts were cast iron. Also no starter, generator etc

Thank You Thank You Thank You!!
You saved another of my favorite Allis Chalmers Tractor. A tractor with a history of being build in 1943 in the midst of WWII.
You may want to check the valve cover, the oil pan, and the final drive oil pans. Some during WWII were made of cast iron due to the shortage of pressed steel. Looks like this one came through on steel - many did in fact, my job then was to install the cleats - and was converted to rubber when it became available after WWII.
Looks like it is not in bad shape for an almost 80 year old.
Let us know how it goes. I look forward to hearing successful reports of the restoration.
Again, let me thank you for saving another of my favorite AC tractor.
Good Luck!
Bill Long

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

Love the fenders, love the weights, love the spoked wheels, love the 6volt, but mostly that it was saved. A great day.

Those were originally steel front wheels. Look where the spoke meets the rim, you'll see weld. The front steel was cut off and rims welded on.

Don't see it in the pic but if the air cleaner was with it it should be taller than a regular one , taller would be correct for steel wheels. Great find!!
