Thanks AC WD45 for starting this and thanks to all those who posted, and a special thanks to Ken in Texas for so many posts and great info.
Just another example of the reasons this has been my favorite site since I got my first computer back in '99!!

Glad you liked what I posted. Bill Long is not the only one on this forum who likes Bs the best. I wish I knew more about the latest Bs built after 1952. These are the low annual production Bs with the CA torque tube.

Olddoug, those pics brought back memories of grandpa's neighbor Phil Kramer's farming when I was younger in the 90's. especially the one of the Two-Ten with the dog. Rode along in a John Deere 4020 with a year-round cab hauling grain from the field for countless hours. I can hear the dog barking and panting and waggin around just lookin at it lol

If I read that invoice right, you bought a $55,000 tractor for $25,000. Deutz must have really been wanting to dump those orange tractors.

 I've posted this one before, but the middle one is my Dad on his new WD45, and my uncles on my Grandpa's tractors. I now have the 45, the whereabouts of the other tractors is unknown.

In the early 90's I remember trying to tell a fellow student at the ag diesel mechanics course about how low priced the 8000 series Allis' were being advertised for in magazines when they were new from Deutz Allis. He just wouldn't believe me (john Deere head). I looked and looked for an old farm magazine with the advertisements but never could find one again. This is the proof that I wasn't dreaming.

Dad's new Dual loader and One-Ninety, photo from 1975.
Dad's 1972 200, it was new to us, photo from 1980.
Dad's 7020 the day it was delivered, photo from 1983.
My Uncle David's D-17 Series IV, photo from the late 60's.
Dad and I with the Two-Ten, I was pretty new, photo from 1977.

Looks like your Dad had a side dresser on it.
If you look at the hub mount you can see the four lug bolts with nut heads on them.

hey OLDDOUG,
on that 6030 receipt, what's a heck of a special Duetz Allis discount.
It was like half of the original value.
What was that discount??

I figure it was just KHD (Deutz) trying to dump all the remaining orange tractors. All they wanted was the AC dealer network and the Gleaner combine.

Thanks to everyone for time and effort to upload these interesting pictures. You can make an old tractor look like new but you can never go back in time and take a picture of an original one, so keep the old pictures coming they are the only ones we'll ever have!

very neat pics. Thinking out loud, I'm not familiar with the 6080, but I noticed the spin out rears. Did the front have the adjustable axle? Could you put a spin out on the front of a 4x4?

The fronts have two or four widths they can be adjusted to.

I like going back and reviewing old posts like "When they were new" I missed the last photos of the early hand crank B. Taken in 1942. Just like I said. These early Bs came new with single rib front tires. The Aggen Farm first B , A 1939 had single rib front tires. We can now buy new Firestone Single Rib front tires from Miller Tire.

“Could you put a spin out on the front of a 4x4?”
Probably. But it would be difficult to spin the wheel in or out unless you jacked up the rear wheel on the side you were working on. And if it had a no-spin front axle? No way.
