Allis Chalmers B Plow installation

I recently purchased an Allis Chalmers B with hydraulics on it. How do the implements attach to this type of hitch/hookup? Any help or pictures would be appreciated. Thanks
 
All of them are bolted to the tractor. Not as easy to change as 3 point stuff. If you have complete tools with no parts missing they are pretty straightforward. If you have specific questions email me. I have changed from plow to cultivator to mowing machine way to many times to count.
 
one method is to make a cross bar between the final drives and put two lower arms on it and make a 3 point type hitch. The original layout of the B was inplements had a cast BEAM several feet long that stuck under the tractor and pinned to a cross brace under the transmission. There is a rock shaft behind the seat from side to side that has two lift arms on it that raise and lower the beam... think of an upside down 3 point.

I posted a while back with pictures of my 2-way plow mounted on a "B". Note that I do not have hydraulics so my rockshaft is manual lift but the mounting under the tractor is the same. With a single plow only the right (looking at the back) is mounted.

Steve, that looks like a C but the same thing.
My Dad bought a brand new B in '41 (the year I was born) and he had the 2-way plows with hydraulics. I always said this was a great set- up as when the plow that wasn't "plowing" was there adding weight right where it needs to be!
Gawd, I wish I had that B again!
Thanks for the nice picture!
My Dad left that plow "drawbar" on a lot and my brother and I would ride on either side standing on it and hanging onto the steering column when going out to the fields.
Thanks again for the memories!
 
My B had the U shaped drawbar on it. With that in place I did not see how you could attach a plow. But from the pictures it looks like that would be removed. Thanks
