What years is this Allis CE engine? 1940?

ALLIS FOREVER · Aug 13, 2020

Hey everyone. I have a 49 C that’s seems a little oddball with it showing a 49 serial number in the transmission location but the engine serial number doesn’t correlate with the Ed Mills documentation which has been pretty spot on with my other B and c tractors. It also has hand brakes which I’m pretty sure were obsolete by 1949. From my best guess the motor looks to be an early 1940 but maybe someone can chime in. I cant find any reference for this engine, serial number # CE2688G. The casting number under the plugs reads AM2916-12 which I believe is a 1940 but I’m not sure. Does anyone have pictures of an engine serial number from a 1940 Allis c?

I’m starting to think it’s a 1940 Allis C and maybe the transmission or trans case was changed with a 1949 trans hence it having what I think is a 1940 motor and hand brakes.
Any help appreciated

Thanks
Salvo

Could be a power unit transplant engine which is not uncommon in the 50-70 years it has been around

Thanks Richard.

Yea I was figuring it was either a motor transplant or a transmission transplant. I’m leaning towards trans as it is a hand brake machine so I think it was a 1940 model c and then they swapped a 1949 trans at some point. Stinks because I’ve been saying it’s a 49 but if it has more 1940 dated parts such as the bull gear Housings and Motor should it be a 40? Most likely shes a 1940 with a 49 serial number so people have thought it’s a 49 for the last few decades or years.

Most likely a MUTT. As in a tractor built from 2 or more other parts and pieces of tractors sort of like my Farmall BA which is the front half of a Farmall B and the back half of a Farmall A but the B block has the A pistons etc. in it

A mutt she is. The blue Henderson loader off a ford makes her even more Frankenstein like. This is the one you helped me unseize with you atf tricks. Shes been a good running tractor and the loader is excellent and the motor runs good. I did regrind the valves and seats with my old kwik way machines, it had been years since I did a head and took a little practice again but it came out good as the head was totally caked and the valves were seized. I was able clean and home the guide with me guide arbor hone. It wont see more than 20-40 hours a year of use so Im sure the guides will last the rest of my life.
