RC?  with a few mods--

This is the other picture:


... now I have to call and find out - IF the seller even knows!

Update: The seller doesn't know - bought it from the guy who put it together about 1 1/2 years ago. Can be seen at the BP station in Vanderbilt.

...was a narrow front ...WD45 the young man thinks...power steering was added...battery sits low on left side of tractor...has horn - made a big deal about the horn...used in parades

... and Vanderbilt IS a nice little town - you NEED a horn on account of the cows, deer and old men wandering onto the roads.

That is an unstyled WC Allis lovingly restored by a John Deere man with all the talent he could muster!

Looks like a C with added steel wheels. 

That was a perfectly restored Allic C on steel that was modified by that same John Deere man who was intent on making it look as bad as his JD B.

Well, he's only asking $1000 for the pair (the ad says $100 - but pretty sure it's a typo).

That pic you posted - what weight class does that puller run in?

John

That WC wide front conversion looks like a swartz WF and it has the hood off an early unstyled WC(34 or 35) with styled WC back wheels and fenders. That poor C got all naked and left out in the cold. I think the C's back wheel has an inner weight bolted to the outside.

CTucker,

It's in Tom Yaz's back yard.

The nekkid C has a rear pto pulley that still has paint on it.

John, That JD would have to be  REALLY stout to pull MY weight around! LOL

I know, I know - its actually why I started the topic - I''m betting a sly allischalmers.com member has already made the call - and ain't saying nuttin' until their loaded on his trailer and headed down the road.


As for your weight - well it WOULD help if you were to get off the pulling sled and onto the tractor seat.

Hey, carefull with the old man references! LOL

If it were closer and about 1/3 the price I would be interested. I like the weird and unusual, especially if itis functional.

John I called the guy, he said the $100 was a typo, but he didn't offer to change it when I called his attention to it and noted that he could correct it. I think it was a deliberate attempt to get responses. Anyhow, it was a big mess, he was in the middle of a divorce and he was blocked by the courts to access to part of the tractors, but he wanted all the money up front, you take the stuff pictured and hoped you could get the rest of the stuff later!

Well, not being one to cast aspersions, nonetheless after looking at the tractors, I'm not surprised his personal life is a mess.
