Topic: Allis-Chalmers 1937 WC w/ Oxbow Front EndPosted: 6 hours 1 minutes ago at 1:47am |
![]() Hello Everyone, I am from Northern Utah. My Dad (passed away a few years ago) restored this 1937 WC to use and to put in tractor shows (my dad grew up in Southeast Idaho on a dairy farm that used WC's). I am wanting to honor my father's memory and show off his hard work. I helped him as a teenager to install the oxbow front end and prep for paint. I have used the tractor to plow, disc, and harrow a couple of small gardens and have driven it in a few parades with other antique tractors. My dad usually took care of the mechanical issues that ever came up and always knew the solution to fix or address them. Currently the ol' girl runs like a top and I would like to keep it that way. We have made sure to maintain the fluids and grease all the zerks. I guess I'm reaching out for any information that you guys could share about the WC as far as maintenance, gotcha's, what to look out for's, tips & tricks, and any of the like. Also, my dad told us that the Oxbow front end was more of a collector's item rather than a functional piece. I seem to remember him mentioning that there weren't that many made due to the fact that it would knock over the corn stalks or something. If you guys have any info on this, please share and it would be awesome! Thanks!

Check fluid in final drives. Fill and level plug is just below the rear axle on both sides.

I definitely see why that front end would be a hindrance to any type of cultivation of any crop that has height to it
Was the front end just to get away from a tricycle front end? Reminds me of a few years ago when we purchased a JD 6500 sprayer with tricycle front end just to fungicide corn with all my neighbors said it wouldn’t work but works great We didn’t want to spend money to have it flown on or sprayed with a hagie type sprayer |
