Saw this in PA today. Unusual implement underneath. Belly plow?

Most of those minor imperfections should rub right out. Ran when parked.

I have no idea what the attached implement is. The tractor might be too far past being a parts donor.

That is the under frame for a sickle bar mower. The second picture shows one with the Sickle bar on it.
Mowed a lot of acres with one of them on a C Allis Chalmers when I was a boy.

I believe that is correct and I also believe that is a C Allis tractor.

I don't think I've ever seen a C that old- no electrical system, and riveted front wheels. There is another AC, a D series in
the background, looking just as sad.

Mowed a lot with one of those mowers on a B. Very convenient to use, but apiece of crap to keep working, sold it without a look back.

Ok, I should have been able to figure that out. I did see the sickle bar on the other side, didn't put 2 and 2 together. Thanks for the information.

I'm kinda liking the old straight frame
front end wheel loader in the background!
