Hi I feel like I’m not getting any where with my Allis B I have been working on it for about two years on and off everything I touch is a complete rebuild had a AMP meter repair to find it was not the right one.some muppets has cut the steering column down by 8 inches and they have cut a big bit out of the toolbox panel to lift the steering column up , back end has had all new bearings . Engine was seized air cleaner was rotted out and so were the mud guards.sometimes you look a these project tractors and don’t see the work you have to put in to them especially when you want them back to as close to factory as possible and I am a bit fussy . I guess I will get there thanks for reading my rant

Now that does sound like a project. But completing a long project is very rewarding. I never seem to learn from them because I typically jump into another one.

Certainly are some challenges involved in your project. Most of us get into more than we imagined with these old pieces of equipment but we learn a lot along the way and gain a feeling of accomplishment at the end that we can be proud of. Hang in there.

Many of those parts you mentioned I have saved for years. Now they are going outside on the pile. Might consider a container and get a few parts tractors shipped.
