| Bought a b today. I think it is a 1939. Someone changed the torque tube and put a starter on it. Not real pretty. Real nice rear rims. One new tire.Riveted front rims. Clean metal.Belly mower. Runs fantastic. Homemade backrest that works decent but I have a stock one to stick on it. Pretty happy with my purchase. |

I don't think mine has a place to mount a generator on the engine. Was wondering if it has a BE or CE block. Tim Edit: Oh yeah it looks a lot better than mine. Won't take a lot to make it a really nice tractor. |

I'm guessing a CE block, doesn't matter, nice looking tractor. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

| I was wondering about that too. I got home late and didn't check. Where are the engine numbers located again? |

| I paid 700.00 bucks for it. Really runs great. brakes need work and typical sloppy steering. |

Engine # should be on the flange that bolts to the torque tube right back from the air cleaner. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

Nice find Jesse. If the engine number isn't on the flange, look on the back center of the block for a rectangle pad. You'll probably need a light to see it there.

Excellent buy for that price. What makes you think it is a 1939 ? ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

| Serial number is b12... something. close to my other 39 |

Yeah, plus the riveted rims indicate late '38 or early '39, if I remember right. My '39 B is B14514. That's one cushy looking seat you have there. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

I was wondering that too. It looks like it's a lot lighter-duty than my Woods L306. ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

| WJohn beat me to it. I was going to say that it is way to much money for a tractor that doesn't have wheel bolts on the front rims. Very straight tin workwork. A great looking tractor. Does it still have the tail light? |

It looks kind of like my Sunmaster. ------------- Waukesha B, B, IB, G, styled WF, D15, 615 backhoe, 2-Oliver OC3's, 4 Ford Model T's, 3 Model A Fords, AV8 Coupe, AV8 Roadster, 1933 Ford Wrecker |

Glockhead, Thanks for giving my favorite a good home. I know you will take good care of it. Really not a bad looking unit. Little extra bonus since you have a starter on it. Thanks again for saving another of my favorite Allis-Chalmers Tractors. Good Luck! Bill Long |
