Fiat Allis 11-B

Just wondering if anyone knows of a good 11-B dozer for sale.  Prefer high serial number, OK if it needs undercarriage or other work done, anywhere in the mid-west.  My email address is lazyts@hotmail.com.  Thanks

Powershift is the way to go, I think, and Allis got it right with the series B.

The newest one I've owned was 19590, 1976.  I'm pretty sure they went pretty close to 20000, but haven't seen any newer myself.  Starting around the 19400 mark they had an underhood muffler and the exhaust stack was further back, but not many of them still have the muffler these days.

I'm not the expert on A-C, and the EP was a good tractor, but the hydraulics were slow, and the early ones had a tendency to run hot.  Eventually the trans. cooler, radiator, fan and torque converter were changed to make that issue better.  The series B, though, had a larger radiator and fan again, and they won't run hot unless there is a problem.  The straddle mounted saddle on the track frames for the front bar was a good idea on the series B- not too many of them ended up with bent track frames.  The segmented sprockets were a good idea, and the operator's platform is laid out nice.  (same as the last EPs)  As far as the hydraulics go, the stacking valves were a nice feature, hydraulic function faster, and the quick drop valves on the cylinders are a neat thing, I think.   I guess the point is, I like 'em.  I like the old ones too, though, I've had just about all of them- HD11B, HD11E, HD11S, HD11ES, HD11EP, HD11 Series B and 11-B.

I almost bought a FA 11B in Salem MO some years back, big machine, lots of purpose but I backed away as I found parts here were scarce.  The old dozer was still for sale for $10,500 last time I drove into Salem last year.  Mike Smith had it for sale with a few other pieces of machinery(he runs a dozer service), I think it was listed on Contractor Supply or some web site like that.  I will look back.

Mactractor- the late EPs had a Roosa master pump as well, starting at serial number 12001, I believe.  The Series B then changed to the Bosch pump, then back to the Roosa Master after the Fiat merger- no doubt to save cost.  The Bosch is technically a better pump, but expensive.  DMiller- thanks for the help.  I was just in MO on the weekend looking at another 11B, and several other 11s as well- ended up seeing 14 on the trip.  You know, I've not been stumped on a part for an HD11 yet.... might have to retire from the game sometime though!

Trevor, I`m at Thames in the North Island. New Zealand is a very small country. Thames is only 350 miles north of Wellington where you step off the inter-island ferries from the south. Your friend is most welcome if he wants to visit.
Cheers
