Blue Allis B

It was a dark blue/green color . I have even seen pictures from the 1950's of my Dad driving it and it was the same color .

What gives ? Could this have been the original color or for something special ?

My Dad can't remember and they sold the tractor when my Grandfather died 15 years ago .

Just wondering .

Thanks,

I will ask my Dad and see if he remembers .

I did not tell you the whole story of what happened to the tractor .

It had a belly mounted sickle mower with a hydraulic cylinder to raise up and down . It was geared a bit high to cut the creek banks so we kept it out of gear and pulled it with the 8N . We also kept waterjugs handy as the radiator leaked . Grandpa had taken off the starter to use on a Buda powerunit he had so we pulled the Allis off with the 8N .

The tractor sold for $450 at the auction . I am still kicking myself after 15 years !

Someday I will find one to restore with my son.
