That's pretty cool. I'll have to pay more attention at fairs now. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

They are easy to spot if you know what to listen for.... That B engine has a certain sound like no other when the governor kicks it up a notch. ------------- Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment. From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance. Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise. |

They are dang near bullet-proof and easy to fix. I don't know what the gas consumption is on a ferris wheel, but my '48C will brush hog about 14 acres on about 8 gallons of fuel. Until I got this tractor, I never thought I could sit on an Allis too long! ------------- Miles Gray (CO/KS) 5 1938 B's, 1940 B, 1944 WF C, 1948 NF C, Gleaner A, White Top Rotobaler, 1957 IH Golden Jubilee...
