I just pulled this 1953 ca out of the junkyard I really don’t need another project right now nor need to spend money but hate to see it get scraped. Paid $500 which is a lot it needs a complete motor rebuild. But it does have wide front with new tires has factory rear weights I might sell has snap coupler and rear rims not to bad. What do you guys think ok deal or should have left it. I do however have a bunch of parts for the b c ca tractors

You did well. If it has the snap coupler lift hands, you stole it! Tracy ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

I know I say this a lot. You Saved Another Allis Chalmers Tractor. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! They don't make them anymore and any Allis Chalmers Machine scrapped is a unit lost forever. I fully understand it does not come without expense. Getting this machine into operating condition may be very costly. I cannot thank you enough for your time and expense. Let us know how it goes. Good Luck! Bill Long

You got $500 worth either to fix up or parts if you need them. |

Saw a pair of those weights sell on E-BAY once for $447! That means you've only got $53 in the rest of the tractor. Well, they don't sell that high every day but are valuable. I would have bought it and not batted an eye. |
