This is for sale locally & he says $500 or best offer.
1940's Allis Chalmers WC tractor. Engine ran very well until we parked the tractor a year ago, now it won't start.

Give him your best offer.
I would say something under $500.00. ------------- I Love Meatballs and Dumplings on Toast with Gravy and Rosemary and ??? {Open For Suggestions} |

Fenders are missing, front rims and tires are wrong and I cant tell in the pic but something funky is going on with that...there isnt as much of the bolster showing as their should be. Its almost like the grill shell is pushed forward. If you look you can see the hood appears short.

Another "ran when parked" as far as I'm concerned if it don't run it's a non-running tractor!! A $500 price is ok if you are looking for a

| I wonder why radiator was moved forward. Then they extended shaft on water pump to get fan closer. I see no reason. |

I'm gonna guess, somebody cobbled in an SOB rad so the shroud wouldn't fit right. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

I wonder if the grill is not all the way on, just sitting there ? I can't see the radiator cap, but can see the gas cap. ------------- Randy Freshour,Member Indiana AC Partners, http://www.rumelyallis.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.rumelyallis.com |
