Steve, Ron's picture is that of a prototype IB which apparently used the inverted standard B model front axle. The production IB's used a heavy channel frame/bumper which could be used for attachment of various implements. The above information is courtesy of Norm Swinford from his book: "Allis-Chalmers Farm Equipment 1914-1985" which includes the picture furnished by Ron as well as a couple of pictures of production IBs.

thanks for info. I now wonder if the c-channel added for production was necessary for support, or just to make it easier to connect implements and have a front bumper for factor use?

I knew I had seen a picture of a "B" with the rotated final drives somewhere! There's a two page picture of just such a tractor in a book entitled: "Allis-Chalmers Tractors - History of Advance-Rumely, Monarch Crawlers, Allis-Chalmers Tractors & Implements" Text by C.H.Wendel, Photography by Andrew Morland. It does not have the channel iron frame and was built by the Totton Works near Southhampton in Great Britain. They produced quite a few for working orchards in Great Britain. In addition to turning the final drives 90 deg., they modified the kingpins, brake rods, pedals, steering, seat and fenders, resulting in a tractor with a shorter wheelbase and a 10" lower stance. So....it can be done. I recommend you buy the book; it's worth it for this one picture and there are many more beautiful two page pictures of popular A-C tractors in it as well.
