I'm on the verge of buying an Allis B model tractor. It looks OK to me - no major oil leaks, little smoke from engine, etc. Is there anything else I should look for before I write the check? Any general tips/warnings about Model B's? Thanks.

If the boot on the shift lever isn't good, that is no caraks or breaks, check the transmission for water. Pull a drain plug and see what comes out. There are two such plugs on a B I think, and one fill on the left side of the transmession. If you buy it change the transmission and final drives.

I have a 49 B, and its a good dependable tractor. There are several things I can think of that might not be readily apparent, however. Check the play in the rear and rear bearings/shims by pushing sideways on the top of either rear wheel. Movement means it will need attention, especially if you see any leakage around the hub. I would also look on the wheels to see if the valve stem hole is enlarged or rusted out, you'll want to know if you'll need to fix or replace. Of course, these things aren't particular to B's, they're sort of generic, but the B is a little prone to the rear loose if mice or bees stop up the drain holes in the rear housing. No brakes can also be an indication.
