Saturday_22-March-2025 1941 Allis-Chalmers Model "B" https://ibb.co/9k4wfj0G" rel="nofollow">  - --- - https://ibb.co/Jjghkwbp" rel="nofollow"> Owned by Will Milby of Greensburg, Kentucky http://https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/000/0/0/3-allis-chalmers-b.html" rel="nofollow -  QUESTION: I see two types of front axles on "B"s; the inverted "Texas Longhorn" style like the one pictured; and, a more normal adjustable style. Is this difference in axles an option; or, is there a point in production where the inverted style stops and the normal style begins ? Also, of all the many "B"s I have seen and photographed, I have yet to see a tricycle; was the "B" ever offered in tricycle ? Thanks.

The adjustable front axle became an option in 1940, IIRR... ------------- Source: Babylon Bee. Sponsored by BRAWNDO, its got what you need! |

the "wish bone" axle was the standard for years and probably on 90% of the Bs that were made. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Interesting Model B  It still has hand brakes but also electric start. Obviously the alternator and distributor are an upgrade, but was the electric start torque tube ever offered with a hand brake Model B? |

im not sure there was a " starter torque tube".... i have seen a few tractors that had the starter "DELETE" kit and they just have a plug in the starter hole... an possibly no ring on the flywheel.. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| I have a '39 B and the bell housing is smooth. No starter mounting and no ring gear on the flywheel. '41 Deluxe had electric start. |

Yup, this is what I was referring to. After ~84 years there is no telling what may have been swapped around though. It's still a cool tractor
