I am wondering what owners of the Allis B do with there tractors other than just parade. I wonder if some are used still as they were intended to be used. Plowing? Planting? Mowing? If you have pictures of anything outside of a parade I would like to see them. Thanks guys.

Thanks guys for your input. I have two Allis B"s and use them for every thing I can think of. I use the dirt plow and pull the drag and planter in the spring. I use the mower and the hay rake later in the spring. I also cultvate the beans and corn I plant. It also pulls the bush hog in the summer. It goes on wagon rides and the fair once a year. Even had a chance to pull the sled. It also helps teach some driving skills to the kids. Then I put the plow on and get ready for the fall plowing and get er done. I have a glaric and onion planter that I use in the fall for just that purpose. It then gets a good bath and returned to the barn for the winter and to rest up for nest year. I hope I"m not pushing her to hard.

I have two 'B's,a '39 and a '46. Both work. The '39 has a belly mount blade that is used for landscaping, driveway grading and snow plowing. The other is used with a semi-mount sickle mower and sometimes a tandem disc. The '39 got gussied up for a parade last summer, and the '46 went on a tractor drive to the next town with several other old machines.

I use my 1945 B with a Wood L-59 for mowing. I love it. This rig has cut my mowing time in half.

We use our 38 quite a bit for chores but we also hitch the plow every spring and give it a real workout. Heres my daughter at the controls.

I thought ALL B's were wide front ends. Is this true or not? I have a 1948 B that has a narrow front and looks like the one in your photo.

Hi Ed...I've used our 1941 B a few times this year to plow snow with a back blade. It has a 3 pt. addition on it. I purchased a one bottom trailing plow from this site to use this spring, and I plan on getting a trailer-mounted sickle cutter and a small hay rake to use with it as well. Probably pull some hay rides with it, too!

I have a '39 B that I fully restored. It should have been a parade queen but I like things that are good looking and usable... This is a test on the photo thing but if it doesn't work, I am running a Woods L59 on it. I mow the several acres below the house that I have started an orchard on. Thus the little green sprigs are first year grafted apple trees.

Rod-
It looks like you use ImageShack... I can up load the photo but then do I cut and paste one of the links into the 'Optional Image URL' box on the YTmag reply page? Which link do I cut and paste? 'Thumbnail for forums (1)'?

Thanks
Chris

Chris,

Yes, I use ImageShack. There are different embeddable codes provided on your "My Images" page. You do not use the one for "forums" for the software used by this site. You use the one for "sites", if you do not want to use a thumbnail image. The proper coding is already done by ImageShack when you copy the "sites" line to your clipboard. When you paste it into your message, do not paste it into the "Optional Image URL" box below your message area. That space is for a pure URL address w/o any html coding. Since the line you copied from ImageShack already has the coding in it, just paste in right into your regular message text wherever you want it to appear; before, after or even in the middle of your text.

You can do the same thing with the thumbnail code (from the "sites" block at your "My Images" page) as I did in my response to Chuck below. That will automatically provide a thumbnail image in your post that viewers can click on to view the full sized image if they want. That is the better way to do it for the larger images that take a while to download. Make sure you make good use of "Preview Your Reply" before you finally post your message. If your picture doesn't show up in preview, it will not show up in your final post. If the picture doesn't show in preview, just back up, make changes and try again until you get it correct. That way you can avoid the red x in your post.

I like ImageShack. It's a little bit difficult to use until you get the hang of it - but it's free and there is no quantity limit nor is there any bandwidth limit. It lacks the features of paid-for image hosting but does the basic job and seems quite reliable.

I have a 1938 B and use mine to rake hay and pull the hay wagon with. I also have a mounted lever type one row cultivator for the B which I use in the garden. It is a very good little tractor.

Hi Ed,

My '42 has never been in a parade and probably never will be. Mine gets used for productive work:

Rod...i've never used a rake like that before...we went from hand raking to a spiral wheel that was ground powered...i've seen a few like yours at auctions and on the road...does it dump itself when it get full or do you dump it manually? also do you have trouble with baler choking down on them piles?
i havent done any baling in 30+ years...thinkin about puttin together some tools and see if i can bale enuff to keep my cows fed and mebbe sell a few bales to cover fuel...custom balers around here are gettin so independent they wont hardly come out for less than 50 round bales...i got a good bahia patch but it aint that good ;)
thanx

Hi Chuck,

You dump it manually when you want to by pulling a trip rope. The motive force to dump is provided by the tires on the rake when the wooden blocks (you can see them over the top portion of the tires) are applied to the tire during the trip. The rake serves the same purpose as the pinwheel rake but is slower. I first rake it into windrows, as a pinwheel rake does, except the travel path is perpendicular to the windrow instead of parallel with it. I then go down lengthwise of each windrow with the rake and use the dump action to create the piles shown. The piles are not used for a baler. They are to make it easier to load loose hay with pitchforks - the old fashioned way. The result is shown here (click on the thumbnail):
