Hey all, was there a factory storage placement for the hand crank on a B, C, CA that has a battery box? I know that the non-electric tractors had a clip on the back of the tool box and it went down in the toolbox right below the steering tube. Not sure if that’s the same place if you can fit the crank over the battery box. Thanks in advance. ------------- Keeping Allis alive with: 2 B’s, 1 C, 6 CA’s, 2 WD’s, 1 WD45, 3 D15D’s, 1 D17 |

I never ran across a mention of storage place for the crank on newer B. Someone told me you could manage to work them into the tool box but I don't think it will fit very easy and it would have to be absolutely empty. ------------- 1951 B, 1937 WC, 1957 D14, -- Thanks and God Bless |

I just leave mine in the crank hole in the front. But I did change the placement of the smaller round pin so it won't fall out.

Thanks for the link. I tried searching the forum and was not able to find anything. I’ll see if I can get it in the tool box, or maybe make some clips and mount it to the side of the tool box. ------------- Keeping Allis alive with: 2 B’s, 1 C, 6 CA’s, 2 WD’s, 1 WD45, 3 D15D’s, 1 D17 |

Dad just stuck it in the tool box going forward and left the rest hang out. I also remember him sticking it in between the tool box and the steering shaft on one. At a show I saw one clipped onto the seat back, looked good. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

| I have my seat shimmed up about an inch and a half and store the crank under that. |
