This is the other picture: ... now I have to call and find out - IF the seller even knows! Update: The seller doesn't know - bought it from the guy who put it together about 1 1/2 years ago. Can be seen at the BP station in Vanderbilt. ...was a narrow front ...WD45 the young man thinks...power steering was added...battery sits low on left side of tractor...has horn - made a big deal about the horn...used in parades ... and Vanderbilt IS a nice little town - you NEED a horn on account of the cows, deer and old men wandering onto the roads. |

| looks like a cobbled up wc, styled fenders, unstyled hood, UC tank, and god knows what for a steering set up. |

That is an unstyled WC Allis lovingly restored by a John Deere man with all the talent he could muster! ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |

That was a perfectly restored Allic C on steel that was modified by that same John Deere man who was intent on making it look as bad as his JD B.

Seriously, CJohnS, if the front steel wheels on the C are in good shape, they can sell for $800, +/- ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |

Well, he's only asking $1000 for the pair (the ad says $100 - but pretty sure it's a typo). That pic you posted - what weight class does that puller run in? John |

Ahhh, John, you can't fool me, that's a trick question. That JD puller has some weight, but it has no class! ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |

That WC wide front conversion looks like a swartz WF and it has the hood off an early unstyled WC(34 or 35) with styled WC back wheels and fenders. That poor C got all naked and left out in the cold. I think the C's back wheel has an inner weight bolted to the outside.

John, That JD would have to be REALLY stout to pull MY weight around! LOL
Those two tractors selling for a grand are a GREAT value. You can sell the steel
wheels and have the rest for free. I hope someone close snaps them up. ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |

I know, I know - its actually why I started the topic - I''m betting a sly allischalmers.com member has already made the call - and ain't saying nuttin' until their loaded on his trailer and headed down the road. As for your weight - well it WOULD help if you were to get off the pulling sled and onto the tractor seat. |

There's home grown... ... and then there's pos grown. Scratching the firing order onto the tank seems a good idea - but if you got it wrong - no eraser! (well maybe a kitchen match) |
