I bought my first Allis mower yesterday, a 1969 B-110 with a mower deck, tiller, cultivators, middle buster and potato plow. it turns over and has spark and compression, but wont fire. im guessing it needs some carb work. Im pretty good with the larger stuff (WD's, D- series and Hundred series)but im at a loss on what needs done with this.

oh and I think my grandfather may have sold it new from his dealership!

It probably needs carb cleaned and fuel tank if its been sitting long time. easy way to check is remove spark plug and put a little fuel in cylinder and try, or remove air filter and get a spray can of carb cleaner or starting fluid and try starting with either one. If it fires or runs on starting fluid or carb cleaner. Then you need to take carburetor off and thoroughly clean, check float and needle valve. Make sure you have full steam of fuel to the carb! Tank should also be cleaned if its been setting a long time. It also helps to have throttle at idle on them! 
I would also clean points and make sure you have good blue spark! And its turn over fast.

Another thing you might want to do is remove cover over cylinder head and blew air down and around the rear shrould as mice like to build nest inside the shroud & on top of the ignition coil and such! We even had to remove engine and shroud on one we brought a few years ago as it sit for years. it was packed in there! Here's a link to another great Garden tractor site.

Before you tear the carb apart, check to see WHEN it sparks. If the flywheel key is sheared, it will spark at the wrong time and will not matter what your carb does.

I'd love to see some pictures of it all.  Especially the potato plow.  I'll second checking the timing, though I'm not sure exactly how to check it without pulling the engine and flywheel to look at the key.  For your information, the main jet gets 1 1/2 turns out and the idle jet gets 1/2 turn out as base settings.  Main is the lower front and idle is the rear one facing the air filter.
