There are engine weights on my 1940 Allis Chalmers B. The first picture show the peg at the front end sticks into a hole in the front of the weight. Does anyone know if these pegs were put on at the factory as an option or installed when the weights were purchased. I have a 1939 B that I got a set of weights for, but there is not a peg on the front of the tractor. Looks like it would be easy rig up, but I would like to know if anyone know what was originally done. uploads/19969/1940_Front_Weight_Mount.jpg" rel="nofollow - uploads/19969/1940_Front_Weight_Mount.jpg uploads/19969/1940_Engine_Weight.jpg" rel="nofollow - uploads/19969/1940_Engine_Weight.jpg uploads/19969/1939_Front_End.jpg" rel="nofollow - uploads/19969/1939_Front_End.jpg

That style of weight wasn't available initially, so a 39 would not have the holes in the front plate from the factory. Later models have a hole on each side, where a bolt and bushing went through, creating the "peg". You could certainly modify what you have to mount a set of the weights, if desired. |

hmmm...any chance you could weld/fab a 'peg' that slips over/hangs onto the cast part instead of drilling the hole ? That way the 'correct cops' won't be on your case ! ------------- 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 |

yes - it looks like there is room for that. |
