I've torn down many "K" serial number engines that had dished and mostly cast iron pistons. You can't say anything for certain, unless you've seen it all. I've done probably 100s of BE/CE engines and I'll bet there are still some things I haven't seen yet. |
I didn't even know Allis made a B with a Zenith carb specifically set up for burning alcohol until a few months ago, as one example - not that I have torn apart anywhere near the number of tractors you and some other guys have, but there are lots of neat little things I will probably never see in person on these tractors. |
Just reading back through the thread & thinking on some things, how was the alcohol carb set up? Any photographs?
Also would be interested if anyone has photos of the manifold/carb setup on an original K suffix machine. The way mine is set up I don't believe it could be original because there's no vaporiser assembly & even if it could run Kero' through the carb it's surely need a WIDELY adjustable main jet.
And that's the other thing, the carburetor on the tractor has a fixed main jet with just a bung where the adjusting screw would be found. Will try and pull the number off the carb shortly but I seem to recall it does come back as one originally fitted according to the manual I have.
Cheers, Dan
