The one pictured is an early model; an 1800A model, it would appear from the photo. They got better as they went from Series A to B to C.
I think the price is too high for an A model, even if it is Diesel.

thanks guys. I am tring to find a Allis but I seem to only be finding off brands. I do like them all.
I talked to the guy and he said thats all he has ever ran and it was a small farm with that tractor. I should call him back and see what series it is. From what I found out they dont have PS that I dont think would be to bad going forward but backing up may be. All my equipment runs off of the snap coupler. Just think this hobby stuff does get expensive. I think I may just end up fixing the d17 engine and I would be good to go.

Power steering would have been an option. It was a mechanical type on the series 'A' 1800 tractors. The steering cylinder housing was under the front grille. If the tractor had 3-pt hitch, the main hydraulic pump worked the power steering via a flow divider.Later tractors used a full hydrostatic system, no mechanical connection.
