Interesting pictures. The first pic looks like 39's with the 6 rivet wheels. The second pic looks like cast centers on 38's. The guy crankin the WC musta had a flat cause he's the left wheel up on a block like he wanted to change it. Then he's pumpin it back up. Maybe it was easier to pump up with the wheel off the ground.

Use on a weed-choked field (quack-grass, sage, etc) Cross between no-till and cultivators. Lot's of skinny shanks & shovel like points. Tall & skinny, you run it pushed down into the ground, and it drags up the roots so they can be raked up and pulled off the field afterwards. We had a home-made one, I don't know if you could buy ready-made, never saw one. LOL! We didn't have hogs... |

I found the ones I posted while dredging through the Library of Congress. Only two pages of hits on "Allis Chalmers", but use "tractors", and 50 or more pages of hits. When I first landed in New Mexico in the mid-70s, I thought it was a dry, lifeless place. It wasn't til I got out to the little creek towns and valleys that I found the wealth of life that just abounded. That shot you upped is a classic. |

They prolly are kept some place safe until delivery. It is MHO that the front wheels are darker than the rest of the machine. I know, I know, "it's the lighting" but every view they appear that way. |

That's NOT a bicycle tire pump. The cylinder diameter is too large to get to 60 psi. The pump I remember my dad used was about 2-1/2" diameter, area about 5 square inches. It took 150 pounds push down on the handle to get 30 psi. But it pumped fast. Other pumps were more like half that diameter with an area only 1.25 inches and those would pump bicycle tires if you could push down with 75 pounds push. But pumping a balloon car tire were very slow. In 1976 my parents drove the Alcan highway with a Scotty camping trailer. The gravel road in places was made of granite chips, that had razor edges. The car tires had 40,000 miles on them when he passed through Iowa on the way north. He had 5 flats on the trailer never got out the lug wrench. Jacked the axle up, dug the rock out with needle nose pliers, then plugged the hole and pumped them up by hand with a pump that looked like that. He was born in 1912 and already retired. A couple months after that trip the car tires starting showing steel from the radial belts. Uniroyals. Gerald J. |

Love the look of all those B tractors. You know when I see that many at one time I'm almost in heaven.
By the way if I remember correctly the cranks were stored in the tool box of the B's. When we unloaded hand crank B's the "host dealer" - the dealer to whom the flatcars were shipped - would provide the crank to start the tractors.
Thanks for posting. Where in the world did you get these pictures. Single ribbed front tires and closed center Firestone tires. Really old.
Good Luck!

Bill, the ones I posted came from the Library of Congress. There are even higher quality versions of these photos there; I posted these because they would fit the forums limitations. This is the basic link: http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html - http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html I just entered allis chalmers in the search bar and came up with the links. I also used tractors and came up with many, many links. The site is vast - there is much already available in digital format: audio, video, documents and of course, photos. If you are unable to find these images, let me know, and I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you can access them. John |

One of my favorite old B&W photos. Dad and I on our first Allis B. I have posted it here before but here it is again for the newer members. I'm 70 years young now and Dad is in Heaven. The B is a 39 and has those single rib 15" tires. I do remember the track it made in the dirt.
I have a few other pictures of this same B the day it came to the farm on west 111th street in Chicago, Illinois. This B was traded in for a later B with a starter and lights after the war. I have pictures of it too. Opps. I forgot to Resize
