Hi all- I am the proud new owner of a new (to me) Allis B. It has a F-M mag, and a generator with electric start. Serial number tells me it's a 1945 model. It's no beauty queen, but it'll do the job until I can clean it up and paint it. It's got a belly mower. The previous owner said it's a Woods, but didn't know the model number. It's too crusty for me to find any make or model. I need a set of casters wheels for it. Can anyone ID the mower (confirm make and provide model #)? Once I know what it is, can anyone suggest a good place to get a pair of casters for it? First photo is the mower, and second is the entire tractor as it arrived in my driveway today.   |

L59 model.. You can get generic wheels at Farm store, but your missing the mounting brackets and shaft. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Definately a Woods L59. Manual is on line. Do a search on Woods mowers. Parts are available from Sandy Lake Implement 888-252-0656 and others. I've used that set up to mow for 30 years. If you have a lot to mow it can't be bear. The L59 is still sold today |

Hey, you got hydraulic lift too. I got my L59 about 13 years ago. I wished I would have had it 30 years ago. It does a great job of mowing mounted on the B. I used mine on the CA for years, which makes a better mowing unit but mounted on the B it comes in a close second.

| Thanks to all for the ID'ing, and thanks to Steve for the documentation. Truth be told, this B is wretched excess for my lawn. I just bought a house with an acre or so back yard, and have wanted a vintage tractor since I was a kid. This house gave me the excuse, for less money than a new riding mower would cost. I haven't seen many loaders for the B, but found one on Craigslist a short distance away. It's a tubular loader with a trip bucket and no down pressure. Don't imagine the B would want to carry much weight, anyway. |
