I bought a 1939 Allis B today that has an adjustable wide front and riveted rims. How common are these wide fronts? What years did they put these on the B's?? I posted a picture of the wide front.

Those were used from 1938 until the square style adjustable front came out in 1940. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

I had one on my 38 B the wife used to pull but took it off because the slab B weights wouldn't fit on it,think its still around here somewhere. |

There probably weren't any records of how many were adjustable and how many were not. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

There is a chance the B parts book would hint at the serial number range for each design of wide front. The G, B/C and CA shop manual I have on line shows only the later adjustable wide front, not the wishbone style. Gerald J. |

I bought a B with that axle several years ago. Started out for sale on CL in Denver but was sold when I called, a few weeks later it was for sale in near Colorado Springs for $200 bucks more. Finally talked to the wife, said "come get it for the original price, I'm tired of it sitting on the trailer in the street." Husband was a bit upset as he had spent a day getting it out of the back yard in Denver. I used a come along to tow it onto my trailer. Gave her the money and a jar of our Peach jam. Made her happy at least.
