Being on other boards I know this post is a bit outside the norm for a first and possibility only post. But I found this jig from the Allis Chalmers factory and before I cut it up to make something else out of it I thought maybe someone would have a clue what it is and if it should be saved.

| Can’t say what it is but someone on here will if you’re patient. If you do decide to cut it up I’d sure like to have that brass tag. |

PM me if you r interested or email joe@herriges.com Not sure yet if I would sell it but one never knows.....and how would it ship its a TANK, 50 or 60 lbs as a guess. I think I can use it without any mods. I have got some live centers ordered. I was going to weld one up which I can still do but when I found this I though TIME SAVER!!

Im not sure what it was, but it is a TOOL BOUGHT by Allis to use in the factory.. Same as buying a wrench, drill or lathe.... The factory kept records of all purchases and put a "TOOL NUMBER" on the piece . So it was used in the ALLIS factory, and the BRASS TAG is an Allis Part, but the "tool" was purchased from a vendor for a specific application. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

To me it looks like it is a press of some sort. It appears there was another piece mounted on top. Or it was a drilling jig and a drill motor was mounted on top. Just my $.02 worth. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Drilling is what I thought. If you look close at the pics there a notched area in the center on one side where it seems like a part may be missing. https://flic.kr/p/2hsDazr" rel="nofollow"> https://flic.kr/p/2hsDazr" rel="nofollow - Allis Chalmers jig by https://www.flickr.com/photos/152971586@N08/" rel="nofollow - Joe Herriges , on FlickrI have a bad habit of picking stuff up I think is cool and trying to do stuff with it. I have some live centers coming which I will mount on 1/2" steel then mount on either side where the bolts are on the uprights once I take the top piece off. I was going to cut the top piece and flip it over but now I will just save all the pieces so if ever I figure out what it was and its still useful for it it won't be ruined. It will make a much better crank jig than the little one I cobbled up (in the pic by the dial indicator) and it will be adjustable so I won't always have to remake it . Although it works ok I just like tinkering. https://flic.kr/p/2htuXgT" rel="nofollow">  https://flic.kr/p/2htuXgT" rel="nofollow - Untitled by https://www.flickr.com/photos/152971586@N08/" rel="nofollow - Joe Herriges , on Flickr |

Ya, I'd guess some kind of a press also. Something has to go on top to do,,,,,,,,,,,????? Looks like some kind of a clamp on the bottom area. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
