allis B seat options

tooltimejim · Dec 16, 2009

did the allis B tractor have options for the tractor seat, or was it always the bench style , with a spring back, thanks,Jim

My aging AC mentor assures me that the bench seat was it. And a look at the parts book shows a couple of possibilities of spring mounted seats only for the IB.
The similarities of parts of those IB seats to the aftermarket Monroe seat are interesting.

There where after market seat made for them but the only factory one was that bench type which makes them hard to get on

Here is an option when you get to be an old fart like me.
Comes with fold down arm rest.

I grew up on a 1949 model B with a factory standard pan seat. I think it was related to the front axle the pan seat tractor had an adjustable front axle while our older B (1939) had the bench with the fixed arch front axle.
Much easier to hop on and off of. Should be easy to find one froma B or C in salavage yard

someone makes a step that gets mounted on the square tube in front of the clutch. Bob

You can make a step to make getting on real easy.
I made this one.
Pop is 81 and climbs on the tractor with the step like he was 25.
It looks really close to the ground in this picture bit it"s not.

I have seen a step mounted on the left side of them made from all tread rod so as to make it a tad easier to climb up on them. I have at times thought about making one but so far never have got around to doing so

The first B my dad had I mounted a seat out of an Austin America on it. It had fold down arm rests on it and even tilted back some. That little B sent me to the hospital more then once because it was hand start and got me a couple time. It was also the first tractor that I ever rebuilt and engine on.

I have wondered about that. I have to rely on someone elses memory(as stated below) as I wasn't there! And you can't always rely on printed info. either. There were so many changes and possibilities with those tractors that you almost can't rule anything out.
