Just purchased a '37 WC, the tranny was cast 1-20-37, and the differental has serial number WC35280. On the rear of the block there is number 35870K, should the differential and block numbers match? Also, does the K on the block siginify a kerosine burner ? Just curious.

Guys,

My 37 WC SN. is 33336 and the tranny is dated 02/28/37. I still have the sales reciept that my Great-Grandfater was given when he bought it.

Hi Richard You are right on the money, serial numbers 31784 thru 60789 were manufactured in 1937. Thanks for your support. Harry

According to my lists, your tractor was built in late 1935.

Hey Denny Thanks for your responce. however if you have a serial number list for WC Allis tractors that lists 1 WC built in 1933, serial numbers to 10158 in 1934, 22816 in 1935, etc this is wrong!!! The list by C.H. Wendell is correct as listed in the big book "The Allis Chalmers Story" also Wendels Notebook. My Dad bought a new WC in August "36 serial number 22262, this agrees with Wendel, my "37 serial number 35280 also agrees with Wendell. Thanks, H. Case

I have 3 sources that show the numbers that you mention. This web site agrees with those numbers. That makes 4. I have two sources that agree with your numbers (one is Wendell). So how did you determine who is right?

How can I tell what year mine is. The number on the axle is unable to be read. What number and where should I look for it.

THanks for any help

Tim, the axel number is the number that determines the year. A lot of times, paint covers up the number. Removing the paint with a paint remover (not sand paper) will allow reading of the numbers. Sand paper may dull the edges of the stamping if they are very shallow. If you can just get the first two numbers after WC, it is often enough.

K is for kerosene or dual fuel

Serial numbers will not match, AC used that engine in serveal different applications
