Allis HD identification

looks like a 14 to me, twin air cleaners,  dash and manual steering clutch release similar to HD10.  15 or 16 would have hydraulic assist steering and looks like a detroit muffler on left side of engine.

I guess you could cut down the tree and count the rings to get some idea of how long it has been sitting in the same spot.  Looks like it might be worth trying to get running if you have the time.

never thought of tree rings lol. i'd love to work on it , its north of Edmonton, but no room here for it. maybe a sale with 3 years to move it hmmm,,,

Thanks Cal, I guess he got a bit of interest in it and hooked a battery but the engine is stuck. not surprising, I have done a few engines and some stuck ones were because of lower hour tight fitting pistons and years of sitting.some pitting and etched half moon rust rings in the bore and they still fired ok. not even using oil. guessing because piston fitting was still tight, ring fit good, etc.. but they were not 2 strokes. how would you check something like that , some sort of cover ports like a 2 stroke outboard, which btw 2 stroke outboards at least don't do well with anything not fitting perfectly sealed and good compression due to blowby scavenging losses. seen engines that I thought, no way would this scary looking pitted thing run right, honed, and did ok. todays tolerances microns, mine, a dimes worth lol
