They definitely have the makings of "Fence row to tractor show". I'd probably go $500 for the lot.

Gentlemen, It looks like there is at least one B perhaps even more. I sincerely hope you consider restoring one B at least.
Let me wish you the very best. As to the price listen to what is said above. Five hundred for the lot seems to be about the thought.
In any event. Let us know what you do.
Good Luck!
Bill Long

BUY THEM. They ARE Allis Chalmers,aren't they? Some folks still like the old orange tractors and try to save them ALL from a slow boat ride to China. ....... B and C tractors are probably the simplest and cheapest to restore too , IMHO. Go for it!!

Yes a B and a C. Just for the adventure and fun I'd give 500$ for the bunch. They look fairly complete and original. With out getting to look them over more carefully, I don't know if I'd go any higher. But this is only if you are looking for a project/projects. If you are looking to make a buck, there is really not much there that is "rare" or "desirable". With the possible exception of the wide front ends. But that depends on location, around here, you don't see to many of the wide fronts, so that is desirable to me. Get the chainsaw sharpened up and get after them! Keep us updated!

Thanks for all the input guys... I think I'm gonna make an offer on them, but don't think he'll take it. He told me that 7-8 years ago when he bought them... He paid 1000$ for all three, the belly mower, sickle mower, and cultivators... That's what he wants for them is 1000$. If scrap is 15$/100 weight they'll bring 250-300 as scrap I figure... Doubt he will part with them for less, but I'll try.
If any of you are in east tx or willing to drive, I can pass along the info to you.
