After 25 years of restoring 3 Bs, 2 Cs, 1 CA and 1 G, I have accumulated a large assortment of heavy metal parts (heads, block , torque tube, final drives etc.) , one nearly intact B on tires with a stuck engine, some sheet metal from terrible to good shape, plus many small parts (governor, fan blades, belt pullies, oil pans etc). Very little electrical parts. Time has come to close down any restoration efforts. I have enough challenge just keeping the fleet operating. All but the G are working tractors on my or children's properties. G gets some exercise pulling wagon ( parade, kids).
I am not into shipping anything but maybe there are some Allis people in the Shenandoah Valley of VA who would be interested. I would like to get the value of scrap metal for the heavy stuff, rather than hauling to the recycle center. If interested in specific part(s) I can email or text pictures if I have it. All parts have been stored out of the weather. Prefer contact by private email Many thanks to this forum for help over the years. Bob/ Waynesboro   |

How a G single bottom plow, but used it as partial trade on new set of rear tires. Sorry but no implements for G. I do have a 3 point carry all that I would like to sell since I now use pallet forks on a FEL for lifting and moving heavy items. Bob

Hi Bob, good to see your post. I was at your place probably 10 years ago and bought some plow brackets I believe it was for a C. I'm in Elkton. Sorry to hear you're getting out of the restoring. I remember you said your kids used these tractors to mow with at their places and you would maintain them. Are they still in use? |

| All still in use except the G. It is for show only. Two running in NC, two in Winchester and I still use two Bs. Sinned a few years back and bought a 1025R JD. A lot easier to get on and off, plus FEL. |
