At the Time I didn't have a Manual in my hands & U guys helped with my Questions. This little tractor has turned out to be a real deal for his needs of hauling in fire wood. The B he has, has the adjust Straight Wide frt. The Previous ower robbed the Hydraullic Cylinders & controls, along with the pieces & parts for the lift. I said there are many of these around & said to keep a Look Out these parts will turn up. I said in my other Post that I was a J/D Guy & He was concerned about buying another Brand Thinking I wouldn't help him on it?? I said it's a Tractor?? I Love Tractor & have always had a soft spot for a Model B Allis. Yesterday He calls me, Hey I have Found a Guy That has two model B's in his back yard, he wants them REMOVED from his Yard? He made the Guy a Offer & Said Get them the HE77 of of here!! 800.00 for the Pair, one Has a Woods Mower with Good Tires, & a Hole in the Block, the Other Has a Frt Mounted Snow Plow, NEW TIRES & Chains but Won't Start?? Both have Hydraulics & One again has the Rare Straight adjustable Wide Frt. I Went last night & Looked at them, both have good Seats, Tires, Mufflers, Lights & Decent Paint.. He asked me, Can you Help Me with them? I said You KNOW I WILL! Be Prepair, I might be needing More assistance Dumb Questions, from a J/D Guy.... [Reply]   [No Email]

It's still a great little tractor for those wood hauling jobs, etc. Lots of parts around, easy to fix anything, very durable. And after you fix it all up, paint it, put on new decals, etc. it's light enough that you can haul it around to shows & parades with a a 1/2 ton truck. Perfect tractor to get into the hobby with.

These old tractors are worth much, much more than they are selling for and I am not looking at them for antique value, I look at them as very practical tractors to use. I saved a B and C from scrap recently. My first tractor was a C. If money allows this winter I will give the B and engine rebuild and then the C. Very good durable practical tractors.

Any good tractor guy will or should have if he has more then one a tractor of not just one color but many colors since no one tractor of brand will do it all LOL [Reply]  [No Email]
