Family Allis WC

 

The story goes that this WC was purchased used by my grandfather.  He died in 1958 and the tractor was sold at his farm sale.  A neighbor and class mate of my father bought it and used it for many years then eventually parked it on the barn.  about 10 years ago my father and the class mate were talking at a class reunion and my father learned where the tractor went to and they agreed to sell it.  It was a few years later my father went to get it and learned his classmate had passed away, but the widow still had the tractor. 

 

My father picked up the tractor which was in poor shape and spent 3+ years restoring it back to the origonal condition it was first in.  It is now part of the family and will be passed to me and then to my son.

 

Here are a few of pictures:

 

 

  Distributer from probably somebody like Central Tractor or tractor supply, that adapted to mag mount,  And foot brakes from same type of sources.

 You must have a thermostat on the tractor since I can see a thermostat housing and no shutters behind the grill or adjuster crank on side.

 

 Tractor sure is beautifully restored.
