I'd say homemade cause... 1) same paint as tractor,poorly sprayed(check coil + oil filter!) 2) hoses aren't 'neat,tidy and protected' 3) lack of control valve covers 4) rebar 'brace' ? picture of other side would be interesting, where's the oil coming from ?? ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| It's not a ca. The rear wheels and hubs, and no floor pan under operator. Does it have a block off plate under the distributor? If so it probably isn't a 125. |

The blade, itself, don't look like an AC roll-away moldboard... I say home-made, too...

Where is it? It is kinda cool. Not a CA? What is it then? I thought it was a CA?

| That is a C with a home made grader blade. The blade apears to be fairly well constructed. I don't know why they'd use cables for rotation instead of a hyd cylinder. I built one for my C with just manual levers and cables it was very useful. |

| CA has different rear rims, adjustable. Also does not have a bench seat and the front axel is attached different. |

My CA has the power adjustable rims, but I have seen many people put those rims on because they are cheaper. And I see those bench seats put on all makes of tractors. Thanks Boss Man. Too bad...farther than I wanna drive to get it. Would have been another cool project though.

?????????? All later B's. All C's and all CA's had the 125 engine. A plate blocking the spot where a fuel pump would go would suggest it is from a power unit, nothing more. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| I can't get a clear look at the rear axles, but the sorta look like a "B" rear end, so you need to check the serial number. Doesn't make much difference though. Leon |

| Hyd cylinders look like they are off a loader, as they have way to long a stroke. Run them all the way down and front wheels would be about 5 feet off the ground? Still a nice looking tractor and may be usefull for someone with long gravel driveway. |

hmm, ok what I thought was rebar is actually a steel cable for turning the blade. THAT makes me wonder...hmmm. just HOW do you turn it ? And where's the oil come from? Internal pump or PTO driven? B, C are 3 speeds, CA is a 4 speed right? be nce to have a 'link' to it, if still for sale... ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

So what did the original add say ? . Did they say in add it is a CA or is it just thought to be by seller because that is what decal says . Years ago at a GOTO in mid west there was what I think was a B tractor that sort of looked like a speed patrol .If I can find pictures I will post them . ------------- He who dies with the most toys is, nonetheless ,still dead.

You can't see it, but I'm thinking a PTO pump also Jay. i don't think the electric ones would be able to push enough oil unless it was a BIG pump. I'd say a C. Over spray on the coil and the tires. Sloppy job to make a quick sale of a "restored" alien chambeler. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

hmm again, I blewup the 2nd picture and one of the hoses appears to terminate about a foor behind the front of the left fender. You can just see it between the fender and tire. I'm thinking it's the reurn line and goes INTO the 'torquetube' or whatever you can that piece of cast. I know 'Troy' here has a hole in the same spot, PO used as return for 'somethin' he dragged behind.... also if you look under the valve assy, there's another hose...I presume connects to the tractor's pump somehow. still curious as to how he turns the blade though, can't see any easily accessable lever for that. ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |
