Hi all. Im not exactly new here as I poke in from time to time. But my name is Dick Keesey and I live in Pulteney NY in the fingerlakes area. Iv been an allis nut since I was a kid because the naboring farm had all allis. I eventually worked for the farm for 8 years and had the pleasure of runnin an 8070, 8050, 6080, 185, and a d14 as well as an allis pto rake, 1200 and 1300 field cultivarors. The farm eventually sold out my last year of college in 04 but I have many fond memories of it. Im a big collector of allis toys, literature and memborilia. My buddy and I also have 2 allis, deutz allis, agco allis, and agco dealer sign as well as some others. I recently purcased my great grandfathers B from my great uncle as well as another parts B that he had. So ill be poking in here more im sure with questions on it as i start restoring it this winter. Dick     |

Get to know Ed Torbert in Owego, NY. He can be a great local help in sourcing used parts if you need them....

| Welcome Dick. I'm in Newark about an hour north of you. I have a plow day every spring here and hope you are able to make it. Was wondering if you know Jim (who has passed away) and Stasia Fox on Boyd Hill Rd? My parents are good friends with her. Good luck on the restore project! |

Dick, That's an eyeopener. My last name is Dalrymple, but I live in Louisiana. Was originally from Indiana. If they have or like AC, maybe were distant cousins. Welcome to the board and good luck on your B's. From what I see, you'll probably end up with both of them running shortly. God Bless ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

| they both have side wts ,neat. Is that a plow mounted on the 2nd one? Does the first picture have a c rear end or is that a later B with 5 bolt rear wheels? I love the signs. Which do you plan to fix up first? Both make good projects. |

Lol, My wifes dad know them real well as he has a dairy farm and a few acres of grapes. My wife was all excited about the pic she took of your tractor. Looks like a nice piece especially with the cultivators and nf. I will give you a call sometime when i get some time. Where about in Penn Yan do you live? |

| Thanks for all the comments. The one with the plow was my great grandfathers. It has been in the family for years. It also has the right and left plows for the rear. The other one is in rough shape and was abused. Where the torque tube meets the transmission is it cracked bad. I dunno what they did but it must have been violent. I plan on fixing up my granfathers. Its gonna need some work tho. Both rear rims are shot and the engine is stuck. I have been told i could get some rims from kabota that would bolt right to the hubs. Where is the best place for an engine kit? The older one was bought as a parts machine but I suppose it could be fixed up. I think the only thing they really robbed off it was the magneto. But it too needs rims and the engine is stuck. But i'm a mechanic for a living and I like a good challenge so it wont be that bad. |

| I use Tony Carbaugh out of Oregon. You can't ask for better man or service! I ordered a part on Thursday and it was in my mail box on Saturday! Doesn't get any better than that! |
