 Topic: Mystery B bracket
Posted: 19 Oct 2010 at 10:07pm |
Anybody have a clue what this bracket may have been for? It is really well made, it almost looks like factory. I have never come across something like this on a B before though.....

That there is an ultra rare pin hitch conversion for a B that Allis was experimenting with to make a line of pin hitch equipment for the B. I have heard that they are even more rare than IB pintle hitches. I have a friend who has a friend who told him and he in turn told me about them. Seems this friends friend had once seen a drawing of them at the Allis factory back in the day. :-)

Glenn, I am 99% sure that is a thingamajig for a whatchamacallit. LOL! Sorry, couldn't resist.
It is well made, but I would think it was farmer fabbed to handle a brace for a drawbar or trailer hitch, since the standard drawbar is in the forward position. Just a thought. Maybe they did that to keep from having to swap the drawbar around when they wanted to pull a trailer or something.

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

Did it hold the plow up in the transport position so you could lower the lift handle to get into the low clearance barn?

Looks like a pivot point for something up front to be lowered and raised with the rear hydraulics?

Very interesting, I brought home a parts B several years ago and it had the same bracket. I didn't know what is was (and still don't) and threw it on my scrap parts pile. I may have to see if I can find it.

Jim,
This B came out of eastern New Hampshire....... Maybe some local piece of equipment?

Did the IB have a bracket something like that maybe even on top of the axle?

I have a bracket like that that I took off of a B but it was bolted on the top of the housing. I thought is may have been used for a third arm. Joe (TN)

The 39 B I'm working on now had a bracket like that. I bought the tractor in Pa. Tim

It wouldn't be a part of the Wiard 2-way plow setup would it? From pictures on Rod Thompson's site, they were very different from the AC 2-way setup. Take a gander at this pic that I borrowed from his site:
