Implements for an Allis B

My B with low compression kerosene pistons (Low power engine) handles a 2-12 Oliver Plowmaster like there's nothing there! That thing pulls good! I can bury that plow and the B won't stop! I can't imagine what it'll do after I overhaul it with high compression pistons.

In Maryland we only used the one bottom plow.   Worked very well.

Wheel width could be the problem. A standard arched axle B can't be adjusted to match row width like the wide front C. A B would work better for a 3 row cultivator. Power was not the reason only a one row was made for the B.

Dad had a 47 C for his first tractor. He had a one bottom trip plow that a blacksmith had widened to cut 18 inches. He said he could run in 2nd gear and plow way more ground in a day, than the neighbor did with his B and a 2-12 plow because the neighbor had to plow in first. Couldn't pull 2-12's in second.

Yep, I believe you guys have much more sandy soil than we do here in most parts of the upper midwest it is heavy loam/clay.

I don't know how that pic got on this post. I resized it and thought I put it back on the original post??/ Oh well, I'll just leave it hoping somebody will show a B that can handle these. 

Dad's old C pulls the one bottom mounted plow off my B just fine in second gear as long as the soil has enough moisture in it, not much but enough so it slices instead of busting through it, if its to dry it's like throwing out the anchor and you get a lot of wheel slip. If you have the plow set right it can cover the ground pretty quickly if not you are in for a rough ride, a little plow like this can teach you a lot about plowing that can make setting up bigger equipment easier, and the work load on your equipment easier. Its a dying art though everyone chisel plows around here or discs heavy. I have a worksaver 3 point that I use with a Dearborn 8N size disc it pulls it fine but you need the brakes on the headlands to turn it as the front end gets light.T.J.

I understand the narrow front, the different rear wheels, seat, and steering linkages, but what else?   Some C's had an adjustable wide front, the seats were pretty much the same. The final drive housing was wider on the C I believe and the drawbar was on a bigger arch to bolt to the finals. Other than what you already stated, that's about it.
