I'm simply thinking out loud here, out of sheer boredom....Although not my shot of whiskey, -I have first chance at buying 2 complete C tractors...and about 2/3 of another for 1200 cash. Both complete tractors run.. one of them has a Woods belly mower...(worthless around here at auction) They are 20 minutes from home..The C without a mower is tractor #47 and dual fuel, hand brakes,got a nice data plate on the manifold..kinda neat. If you were in this position...would you pull the trigger?? that's all i'm asking...just seeing the consensus!! Again, not looking to get smarted off to, or sarcastically replied to..just seeing a yea or nay answer to combat a little boredom at work.. |

Well if you have the 'spare change', sure, why not? I've paid more for 2 Bs with a loader and cultivator NOT running(though all there). You 'should' be able to recoup most of the coins by reselling one of them....int he springtime.

Jared, I know what you mean about some of the jokesters here.
As for the tractors, if by #47 you are referring to the serial number and like Jay I had the extra cash, I'd go for it.
Good luck! ------------- Joe's 1939 Model WC, 1940 Model RC, 1944 & 1950 Model C's, B-125 PU |

If I had want or need for a C, yes. To make money on re selling? Nope.

sounds about right, 500 per C and 200 for a parts tractor. The mower is just a bonus. If I were in the market and had the $$$$ I wouldn't hesitate. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Pull the trigger! If you weren't so far, I'd wanna know where and when!  I'd snap em up! Just for parts if nothing else!  ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

In our area, you would be lucky to find one C in running order for $1200. I would buy them in a minute. Narrow or wide front? I just saw my first WFE C last week. Most in our area are NFE. |

| I agree with Jay and others, and S/N 47 is earlier than most of us have seen, that would be the one I'd keep for sure. If you could sell the other one with the mower on it for 1k or even less you could end up with an early s/n tractor for cheep money. Mark |

I'm interested in the mower mount if you're interested in selling... |

If you have the cash, why not. Even if you don't buy them could you check the serial # on the engine of #47. It should be a CE motor with the serial # on the back of the block above the torque tube. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

Sure, I don't have a "C". I would keep the early one, sell the other, and put the last one behind the barn for parts that I may need later. ------------- In Search Of: 1958 Allis Chalmers D17 Diesel serial #9643D |

Hubert, I did get the Kerosene B from Joe's I appreciate both of your alls help with that. She isn't too far from a paint job. Hoping to compete my collection of kerosene engines before the GOTO in Booneville, MO next year. I have the Kerosene C, B, power unit, and currently working on the Kerosene CA sfw. I'm a sucker for the kerosene. Oh and I have a Kerosene WD45 in numeric order of one in Pennsylvania. Both block and tractor are consecutive... Might have a kerosene D-17 in my sights too. ------------- Can't fix stupid |

ME TOO, if they were around here! The going price for a C around here is a grand and up, depending on condition.
Location, Location, Location! WF had a tractor that I really wanted, but being just short of Canada doesn't help much in getting things moved around. Being in Florida has the same drawback. There are plenty of good deals out there, but when you figure in what it costs to transport 3 tractors 1000 miles, each way...it has to be something pretty special in order to justify the cost of going after them, or the added cost of shipping! Been there, done that! Most of my tractors came from areas further than I like to think about, put a bunch of miles on my p/u and trailer. Only 3 have come from Florida, and one from North Ga. Hauling three at a time also isn't something for a 1/2 ton pickup, so you have to consider adding that cost into it as well. David from jax ------------- A proud member of the Allis Express movement!

| 20 minutes from home they would be here already. No haggeling just pay and load. A running c with a woods mower should sell for more tha that. I f the woods is complete sell it as a unit, once one part is gone its worth scrap. new parts are astronimacly expensive. |

why havent you bought them yet? that should be the question. |

That's why I asked about the deck if the other guy wants the mounts. Our Woods mower has spent to much time in the actual woods and is a bit tweaked. |

If you have the money, and IF, one of them has the factory tail light, then yes. ------------- 2-8070FWA PS/8050PS/7080/7045PS/200/D15-II/2-WD45/WD/3-WC/UC/C |

Yeah, factory taillights are sometimes hard to find. I bought a C and a half from Tim and was pleasantly surprised to see an intact one on it. David from jax ------------- A proud member of the Allis Express movement! Northeast Florida |

If I had the extra $$ to spend I would snap them up. I would expect to give near the $1200 for a good running C with the mower on it. Everything else is bonus material. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."
