it sat in a barn for 50+ years, i took it out and with some minor parts from the AC Guru Larry got it running again.  Never done a thing to it cosmeticly, was real careful when i was working on it to not take off any more of the original paint than i needed to. can still see all the decals when you get close to it runs like a dream.  I am not a big A-C collector thought i would see how much interest there was in it.

Call me after 8 pm to 9 pm eastern time 717-632-9022

Rear tires are 15-32" Gillette brand and the front tires are 7.5-24".  I have never seen a tire like the rear ones before an old man that i know said they might possibly be the original tires?  after they cut the steel wheels down?  I forgot to mention i do have the air cleaner tube that goes to the carburator i didnt have it back on the tractor yet when i took the pictures.  I have another one identical to this tractor that i took apart 2 years ago to restore but havent got it back together yet.  thank you guys

David, that looks like a straight old E.  The starter is a nice bonus.  It is definitely "knee-deep" in rubber, as they say.  Speaking of 15-32 tires, my late '36 WK-40 has 15-32 Goodyears on the rear.  I can't say for sure if they are original since the fronts are cut-offs, but they are definitely 30's - 40's vintage.  Fortunately they are still in good condition as the tractor has always been shedded.  I remember inquiring about the 15-32 (18.4 in today's size) tires on an IH forum once.  An older gentleman told me I was very fortunate that they were still in good shape as that tire had not been produced since 1961.  But I digress...

Best of luck with your "E",

Leon ,PTO 'S for E 's are VERY, VERY hard to find ,They are in the VERY VERY RARE GROUP.

Sorry about the too big pic,was going to resize it but,,,,,

Thanks for the information Butch, I know very little about tractors prior to the U.

I will do some research on my 25-40. It is 1930 and never sat out 1 night. I am second owner and it came with 2 manifolds and was told the manifold not on it was the kero manifold. Lots of good info on this post.

Well, I'll be hanged, every other piece of literature I had seen and my ragged out parts book show round spokes. See what happens when I play expert? LOL

They used all kinds of differant pictures and this one is of one that had cut off from a dealer or owner as you can see that is has been a working tractor in the picture.. They did not send them from the factory that way

You could get the round Spoke with rubber from factory .This is what a older dealer told me that sold a couple of these.But we do all know that AC would pump about anything  out that you would order.LOL

Hello Guys. My 25-40 Thresherman's Special is a 51/4 kero model, serial number 25575. It is on round-spoke rubbers and has the flange-mounted mag (see my previous post on this topic) When I bought it, a previous owner had cut off the hotbox on the kero manifold and removed the starter tank, although he left were obvious traces of both. Will Woodward has gone to great trouble to have some repro kerosine manifolds cast for his collection of A,s and he has been good enough to sell one of these manifolds to me. Fred in PA has sent me pics of the correct starting tank, along with dimensions and I am having one made, so my tractor will be back to kero operation as it was originally made. I also have a 1929 20-35 on steel, which we have fully restored mechanically, but left in completely original cosmetic condition. I love these old Allis E's and I believe that they have been a very undervalued collectors tractor in the past. However, things are changing and they are coming into their own at present. If you really want to sell such a nice machine, don't let it go too cheaply (unless you sell it to one of us!!)
