Folks, Have driven past "Willow a dozen times and no more action from the owner.
But at the local fair I did see, and lean on, and drool on, a wide front end CA that could be the one a friend said might be for sale?? This CA has duels on it! I call it "Big Foot"! Hood is wrinkled.
I'm allowed to hijack my own thread!
Also a shot of my 45 and Nic's WD.
And my wide front WD gets some love! I used rubbing compound on the tank, hood, grill and fenders. Looks much better!
Sure looks like the guy had a serious problem with sticking to the paint scheme from the factory!
Regards, Chris

Folks, Some additional shots of the CA at our fair. Sorry about the size. My resizer did not work and I was too lazy to go back and fix them.
Also the back sides of the WD45 (center) Gary's WD left, and Nic's WD right.
My Ford and the D17:
Regards, Chris

Interesting way to get a little extra weight on the 45 Chris. As much as those CC wheel weights bring around here I'd keep'em under lock and key.

Mike, Folks, I just grabbed what ever looked like weights. Not very pretty. The 45 should be at around 4900 lb. for the 5000 lb class. Will attempt pull on cement and the farm stock pull on Friday. Considering a little weight on the front, but not sure what I can find? Regards, Chris

Maybe a CA you say?!? My good sir ,you definitely need and should have a CA in said collection be it either the one overtaken by the brush or the dueled up unit or any decent CA for that matter.....yes I’m biased on the A-C CA😁. This was the very first Allis I ever laid eyes upon,learned to drive on,broke land and planted with since I was old enough to remember....my grandfathers narrow front ‘53 he bought new the day my dad was born....the one I’m still trying to buy back actually.Yeah,like most here I’m an enabler too😂

MD, Folks, Good and bad news on my CA adventures! On the dual wheeled nice CA. It is now owned by the grandson of the. I was very happy as this is a family tractor and is definitely in the right place and in good hands! Now "willow" I found out from a passerby at the fair that he had put a crank in it years ago, and its stuck! Doesn't surprise me Thats the stuff I drag home!  .
Regards, Chris

Allis folks, Driving by "Willow" I was surprised to see that the owner had extracted her from under the fallen tree. Its was a good sight. On the way back by I stopped and talked to the owner and he said he was going to throw a battery in it and fire it up! He also said he had my number. So we will see. I think the motor is probably froze up tight. And I don't think he has the time or dollars to get this started? We will see. Anyway I asked if I could take some pictures:
This is the one I said I would give him $300 for it. not sure that includes the brush hog? Doubt it. Just sold my rough 5 foot brush hog a pull behind to friend Matt.
Regards, Chris

That seems like it's right up your alley! You may be right - it may end up for sale in a couple of months if he can't get anywhere with it.

John, I really dont need another tractor project but if the it happens then we will see. I was pleased just to see it out from under the tree! It actually looks better than I thought it was going to. Yes there are many moves to make to get these operational again! Regards, Chris

exSW, Good to hear from you! I was thinking a 2500 or 3000 lb puller!:) Would be a great excuse for me to get a bigger trailer and haul two tractors to local antique pulls. The owner hasn't called me so maybe he is brush hogging with it!:) For some reason it has me eyeing it as a new project/ challenge. I am going to assume it needs a complete engine rebuild. As I think the rain cap was not in place. It had a bucket over the exhaust for many years but even that finally failed.
Regards, Chris

Chris,you should’ve give him the $300,loaded and left with that CA...he did most of the work getting it out of the tree.You should go back and see him before he spends any money on it.

Mike, I stopped and talked with Willows owner today. He thinks he can pull it and get it started?? I think its froze up. The dip stick end has been reduced in size. good sign that water is in the oil/ engine. Will let him play with it. Good news its not mine right now. My friend Ted has a wide front CA he wants me to come and look at! We seen a CA that I viewed months ago at the auction yesterday. It brought $100. Had many many issues. Mainly a parts machine. It was the one I think I posted pictures of somewhere that had the RC wheels on it. Regards, Chris

CA wide front? Interesting... be sure to update my friend. I’m just now catching up on everything...I had to have somewhat of a surprise back surgery last week and just now feeling alive and human again.

Mike, What is going on? Your too young for that back stuff! Sure hope your doing well! I had a blown disc in fall of 2017. Had to go under the knife too. I can relate a little. Get some rest young man! Tell your folks I said hi! Regards, Chris

Yessir I sure will. Well I think it had been coming for about a year but I just took it as getting older. Right after I got finished with the D19 we realized it wasn’t showing a charge so first thing I pulled the side panel off and sure enough I had put the wires on the new amp gauge backwards. I literally just squatted down only holding a flashlight and it was like I got hit with a cattle prod and bush axe at the same time. Two herniated, a bulged disc and a 7.5hr surgery later I’m doing better...slowly but surely.

Chris, you cannot go wrong with 'Willow' for that kind of money and I'd
(kinda) insist that the bush hog goes with it for that price.  It might
give you some wiggle room. If he tries to pull start it, he'll blow that engine all to pieces.  But then you can get the whole thing for scrap price..  I wasn't so sure I wanted a CA either, but now I've got 3 of them. You WILL fall in love after you get to running it. And after all you've been through with the other A-C's, this one will be really easy and fun to work on. GOOD Luck! Ted

Chris, I'm with Ted on this one. I'd even up the ante a little to try to tempt him out of blowing that engine to bits. That's sort of like tractor murder. But maybe he'll be smart enough to stop trying that when the wheels are dragging and the engine isn't turning over. I've pull-started a few but only after making sure that the engine was loose, fluids were good, etc.
Good luck!
Dave

That CA doesn't look all that bad, I hope the owner doesn't mess it up and you get it at a reasonable price.
Any action on your new building?

Thanks guys, Old Willow has not moved, when I drove by tonight. Give it another week and I may stop and see him again. Mike, You be good to that back now! I just had one blown disc and that was enough for me! I try to be more cautious about lifting things now too. John, The building project is still in the design phase. Some materials are on order, some not yet. Its a big project for me! Regards, Chris
