Pretty sure they came from Essendine England works. I think thats the first D270 that doesn't have a diesel in it I've seen. ------------- "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." Henry Ford |

So what transmission was in the 270? That sure looks like a B with a different front shroud. There are a few other minor discrepancies. ------------- 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 |

| Hi every one C Tucker the only major difference in the D270 is the 4 seed gear box and some extra panel over the battery box and stronger linkage and hyd rams next time i'am in that shed i will get some more pictures if interested in any of the A.C. let me know what you want to see glad to help cheers john |

I was looking at the voltage regulator, and the throttle lever. Our B's had the cut out relay and a different throttle. Do you know if Allis imported that tractor with the generator, starter and such on it or were they added after it was brought in. I know when Studebaker shipped cars to down under, they didn't have starters and generators because of import laws in place at the time. I tmay have been different for imports from the British? ------------- 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 |

England 1955 to 1957 All Lucas electrics, made with a perkins P3 or 125ci gas/kerosene unit. CA 4 speed box. and a few other pattern CA parts.
    Pretty much a British B with CA gearbox and lift arms, even a british copy of snap coupler linkage and bell.
