I have a chance to look at a 1944 Allis B (I don't know the serial #) that the owner is claiming is rare because of the war. Anyone have an idea of the production #'s and rough value if running?

Rare is not always a good indicator of the value of a "collectable". If the item was popular when new, it will almost always be popular when it becomes "of age". The early Mustangs are good examples as is the Allis "B".

a beat up B that runs is $750. nice tires and no rust is $1000. has to be rebuilt or fresh paint to get over $1200. Some tractors during the war had cast iron valve covers, cast iron motor oil pans, and steel rear wheels. that would make it somewhat rare. other than that you are looking at $1000 or less. they made about 130,000 tractors between 1938 and 1958

They made about 4700 in 1944. In 43, they made 1000 and in 45, they made 2000. Average production was about 6000 per year. Is it rare? About as rare as anything which makes it common. A lesson I learned quite a ways back. A lot of people think everything they own is rare. I'd guess that comes from conceit and at the same time reality. It is rare because it is the only one owned by them! As far as value, the blue book states that a high trade in value is $590. It says also that a high retail value is $2000. And their high retail is usually higher than anything will bring. If the guy wants more than $1000 for a B that has good tires, runs good and has good sheet metal, you can save money (maybe a lot of money) by buying elsewhere.

A 1944 B is not a rare tractor. I have a 1944 C which is almost the same tractor just with a wider rear end I paid $800.00 for in good shape and running. I have seen B"s sell for as little $400.00 barely running up to $4000.00 for a fully restored version. If the B you are looking at is in good shape, straight tin, not much rust, running and good tires $2000.00 would be top dollar in my opinion.
