| I was driving down the road over the weekend and saw an Allis for sale. I thought I would stop and look at it. I had no intention of buying it, but do appreciate looking at any Allis Chalmers tractors. This was a factory wide front, factory power steering tractor, good sheetmetal all around. Nearly new rear tires. The for sale sign had a price of $3900. It had a really really dull paint job on it ( like absolutely no shine at all ). I thought the price seemed high especially for the appearance of the paint. I pulled the crankcase dipstick...... milky as can be. But my point is what would the selling value be for a tractor like this be with or without milky crankcase oil? I was thinking $2500-$3000 tops without milky oil. |

I don't think I could get past the milky oil. It might be just a core plug rusted out in the head but if it has been run that way??? I wouldn't go over $1500. You might get that back parting it out if it has real engine problems and that won't pay for your time or hauling expenses. JMO

| Those rears are near 1000.00. Power steering is a big asset. Good tin a plus. Rub out the paint to shine. Everything else ok. She might bring 3000.00 Maybe. Just remembered the milkey oil. Deduct for that remedy. |

| Not sure about if it had been ran with the milky oil or not. The tractor was in an individuals yard, I didn't even attempt to see if anyone was home or not. As for polishing it to a shine, this paint job was the equivalent to olive drab (only orange). As I said, I had no intention of buying the tractor at the time and I still don't. If anyone on here is interested in it, I can snap a couple of pics of it and send them with the contact information. Its located in western Kentucky. |
