Did anybody here buy the C/woods belly mower of craigslist

atlarge54 · Mar 21, 2011

This morning on the Ft Wayne, IN craigslist there was an Allis C W/59" woods belly mower for $750. When I got home from errands it had been removed/sold? The tractor didn't look terrible but needed "carb work" and battery. I was actually more interested in the mower mount than the tractor since I've got a deck with farmall mount and I'm not looking forward to making a mount.

Am I the only guy who sees "carb work" and thinks plugs, points, cond., valves, guides, bearings, seals, crank, rings, pistons and sleeves?

It wasn't me, but I sure wish that I could find a C that cheap around here!!

The last one I bought was $200 and the one before that was $300 but they didn't have mower decks. Gas, sandpaper, file and a battery and both ran pretty good. I call 'em the Rodney Dangerfield of tractors.

Well Sir, I'm glad you had errands to run because I now have said tractor.
Not sure what you need to know about mounts but the mower is a (Kub Klipper, model B 360 EC 2874) It was manufactured by "The Sun Master Corp" in Olathe, Kansas. I found them online and they have several models for various tractors. Let me know if I can be of further help.
Have a great day, Don

"Carb work", I laugh everytime I read it or hear it, and I agree with everything else you mentioned.

I see SO many ebay listings that state the tractor runs great, but needs carb work.

Congratulations on your new tractor. Do you have it sorted out yet? So it wasn't a woods deck, maybe I was just dreaming that part up? Really didn't look too bad for the money. Where you from? I'm outside Ashley, IN. There's a guy here who goes by DickL from Edon, OH who's pretty sharp on allis tractors. I've never met him but he sure seems to know his stuff.

Evening Atlarge54, I'm just east of you, north of Hamilton. I have an L59 under a B if you want to look. 665-5563 We have dial-up if the lines busy.
