Allis B Parts

Question: Also looking for a couple headlights.
Know they mount in the top side holes on the grill / radiator. Mine did not come with lights mounted there. My question is - how did they put a nut on the back side up in that corner on the radiator?? There are no holes in that fan shroud on the back of my radiator at all. There must be an easy solution but I sure do not see it!

Thanks!

You *can* get the pulley for the generator through NAPA - about $40 or so. Not cheap! But, if you have to have one and you can't find a junker that's another option ....

I may have one on a dead generator. It is in the barn at my collection, and I won't be there until next weekend. If you can wait that long, I'll dig it out. Let me know here, or over on the unofficial AC board, I responded to you there as well.

The radiator shroud should have holes with nuts welded to the backside. Those holes in the shroud line up with the holes in the radiator outer shell and tractor hood. If you don't have those holes, you may have a radiator and shell from a tractor prior to serial number B101, before electic lighting was an option. The lights have studs for mounting that are threaded 1/2-13 UNC that screw into the radiator shroud and are held in place by an outer locknut.

Thanks! That explains it. Mine has nothing welded back there and it was sure looking like it was going to be tough installing lights and getting the nuts on. This is a 39 AC "B" that has been updated quite a bit - but probably did not originally have lights. Someone in the past had mounted lights on the rear fenders. The engine serial is R 14250 G - so appears to be off
of a B-60 power unit. Radiator is probably an old one.
