I just brought home a B that has lived a pretty hard life.  Some joker slapped a WD decal on there at some point - I'm not sure if it was for comedic effect.  I have no idea who manufactured the mower - it looks a lot more burly than the ones I've seen fitted to these small tractors in the past.

I bought it with the Marvel-Schebler TSX154 carburetor in bits - luckily I was able to rebuild it and get the tractor started so I could load it.

The big problems are
  • The governor doesn't do much if anything
  • The magneto has been hacked into some kind of points distributor
  • The cooling system leaks out of every hose and maybe even the water pump - hard to tell since there's so much coming out of it.

This isn't my first Allis - I had a CA I regretfully sold 15 years ago. The difference between the CA and B is pretty amazing.

Where in Maryland are you? Anywhere close to Rocky Ridge? I have some things you may want to get things straightened out.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
Real pullers don't have speed limits.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY
