I've been meaning to post these pictures, have you guys ever seen a CA modified to look like a smaller version of a D-10?    ------------- 1945 AllisCletrac / 1948 "B" / 1953 "CA" / 1955 "WD-45" / 1963 "D-15 Series II" "No Air Support without Ground Support" |

I like it but does the seat put you too far towards the steering wheel. Would I be cramped? Love the floor boards, think I might do those myself. ------------- 51 CA, 57 CA, 53 CA(in progress) |

Did he shorten the steering shaft as well....move the steering wheel towards the throttle? ------------- 51 CA, 57 CA, 53 CA(in progress) |

Yes the steering wheel is forward of the original position.

The steering has been shortend to the steeing post, the distance isn't any closer than sitting on my dad's D-14. The shifter has also been shortened, and when sitting on the tractor is just inside the right leg. I actually think it has improved the feel of the CA, I like the fact that your not sitting as high, and more over and slightly in front of the rear axle. It was very interesting when i looked at it the first time, had to buy just because it's one of a kind. ------------- 1945 AllisCletrac / 1948 "B" / 1953 "CA" / 1955 "WD-45" / 1963 "D-15 Series II" "No Air Support without Ground Support" |

Well, actually I know of at least two in NE Ohio that were converted 15+ years ago by a friend of my cousin. I have pictures - somewhere. Need to find them and figure out how to post on this "new" site.

| Somewhere in the old forum photo archives there were some pictures of a similarly re-enginered Allis B. It looked like it would be very comfortable to drive beside easy to get on and off of. I'm 100% sure it's still around. |

We have a CA similar to that , floor boards and all, steering wheel is lower . looks like H S class project. Has decals of dealers in CA Fresno i think. I figured they were making an orchard tractor. Tony ------------- http://www.tonystractors.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.tonystractors.com |
