Don't know about the rest of it but the engine looks like an Industrial Engine, used to drive machinery. They were even used on carnival rides. Dusty ------------- 917 H, '48 G, '65 D-10 series III "Allis Express" |

Looks like one of those Alias Chambers snow removers. About the only thing I recognize is the "pop" can on the muffler. Bob@allisdowneast ------------- I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not sure. |

It looks like a BE or CE engine, bolted to a WC transmission. Could call it a doodle bug, since it seems to be home built from the farm. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Is that a U rear end and xmsn bolted to a B/C engine? Or maybe it's a WBC (what's been changed)? ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

| Interesting, do you have a story with it. Guys what's that big weight on back, was that an allis weight. We have one like it on the back of our industrial D-14 loader |

| I found this tractor for sale for $600 in my local Facebook marketplace. I have a few more pics. Kinda looked like a Franken-Allis. The front cowl says CA. uploads/19302/IMG-1344.JPG" rel="nofollow - IMG-1344.JPG |

I second Franken-Allis. Whatever you call it, it was quite the project for someone. Very interesting front blade setup... Haven't seen that concept applied to a tractor before. The shorter length should be helpful for plowing snow residentially. Are you going to buy it Stook'? If so, what do you have planned for it? ------------- Leave things better than you found them. 1941 Model C (restored 2020) |

| I honestly had never seen any allis like it. I wondered if it was something made or a rare tractor. I got bit by the orange bug a few years ago and now I have 8 allis tractors now. My next one will be an IB for sure. If anyone knows of one...lol |

look in front of the shifter lever, to see if it has a serial # stamped, there. Might be parts of many things... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

Definitely a one of a kind! I'd give $500 for it if I was close, just because it's different. ------------- "If at first you don't succeed, get a bigger hammer" Allis Express participant |
