Went and bought my B today. He made me a package deal. Two complete WD's. One snap couple and one pin hitch. Lots of good parts here. I think I can make them all run. The one WD is a real beauty. Has really nice 13x28 spin outs and a nice unbroken/ repaired snap coupler drawbar. I will get them next week one night and post pictures. Maybe if I put them far enough away from each other, so you can only see one at a time, the wife will think they are all the same tractor. New Allis's are fun!

Congratulations, now you have to find a way to sneak them home. Don't worry, if she's like my wife, she'll become calous to it and just roll her eyes for a couple minutes and that will be the end of it.

Congratulations. What really started my collection. I sold a 9N Ford and went to Texas to look at a WD. Ended up with the WD plus 4 others, B, C, CA, and parts CA. It's all downhill from there but what a great ride. Just hope the hill doesn't end too soon. LOL God Bless.

Oh I got the B too Bill! They all look pretty good. The B has rusty fenders and one rim has a little rust around the valve stem but it is a pretty straight little tractor. Needs a lot of work but she will be a runner soon I hope.
The one WD is great. Two dent free tanks, one really nice radiator shroud. Lots of good parts. I will probably try and make them run before I decide what to do with them.

Look out Jeese, That's how I got all the plows and stuff thats sitting around here now!!
It was just one more and then one more and one day you can't mow for all the good deals in the grass. LOL
O by the way do you need a plow or two for your tractor fleet? lol
Sounds like you have a nice pair of WD's to keep the WD45 happy. lol

I need to buy more property and have an all Allis plow days. I think I have enough plows to fit all the tractors. I still need a disc!

Yeah, I am pretty excited. Going to start looking for a B one row cultivator now. I know where a couple are but they are quite a trip. I do not want to hoe an acre of garden again this year!
