| This is the only one I have seen with the motor down behind the blade . I could never find a picture of it in any Allis Chalmers book. |

AC went though several variants of that design. Here is a picture of its big brother that I found online.  And here is a picture of the older single drive axle model. (This one is dad's)

Thanks for the correction. I recently moved and haven't found the box with my Allis books yet!

The 42T picture was taken at the GOTO in Marshalltown IA in 1998. I talked to the owner and he said that he drove it 60 miles to the show. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

What drives all the actuators? How does power get to that box near the steering column? ------------- D19D, D17D, WD, WC, Snobee, #83 Plow, SC Blade, 14' disk, 400 series planter, B , Terra Tiger, M Dozer w/Baker Blade, TL-12, 42S Grader, G |

Looks like front drive from engine, by what means - unsure - belt - chain or ? ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark. It is a walk in the light. Faith is not guessing; it is knowing something. "Challenges are what make life interesting; overcoming them is what makes life meaningful." |

| it drives off the front crankshaft via gear boxes and shafts to power the control box. |

I have pictures of a restored 1937 model with single axle and dual wheels and a cab. All the controls appear to be hand cranked. ------------- Jack of all trades, master of none |

| Both models sure have a low center of gravity. The owner driving his grader sixty miles to the show was mentioned over the PA (or by someone during discussions in main big tent). |

 Hi guys-I just picked up this grader (1939 41S) this weekend. I need several right angle gear boxes for the drive mechanism. Does anyone know where one might of these graders might be in a boneyard? Also, a parts book would be helpful Also, 5 inch wide by 20 split rims Thanks. ------------- D19D, D17D, WD, WC, Snobee, #83 Plow, SC Blade, 14' disk, 400 series planter, B , Terra Tiger, M Dozer w/Baker Blade, TL-12, 42S Grader, G |
