How hard is it to find one of these, I am looking at and probably already bought a nice wide front B, then noticed in the pictures it doesn't have the snap coupler drawbar, just the snap coupler bell. I have heard these might be hard to find? Your thoughts? ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

Sorry but you will not find one unless you make one, AC did not make a snap coupler draw bar for the B.

Might be real hard to find since Allis didn't make one that I am aware of. To use the drawbar, you remove the SC bell and turn the drawbar around. I don't know why you couldn't get a CA SC drawbarand make it work. You might have to extend it and make a clamp to hold it in place. ------------- 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 |

I also believe you have the full setup. I'm sure someone who positively knos will chime in after seeing this post. Good find. Don't let it get away. PS: I believe Michael Crowe has collected all the parts now including a late model B that he is fixing to set up. ------------- When you find yourself in a hole,PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL!!! |

I see the snap coupler, the release chain, both lift latches, as long as the release lever and mount are there that should be complete. Good find ! ------------- Randy Freshour,Member Indiana AC Partners, http://www.rumelyallis.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.rumelyallis.com |

Just another pic. So what do you all think this should be worth? Stuck engine. I am curious if I am about to overpay? According to the serial number it is a early 1953 model. It has a distributor, but the serial number puts it ahead of the distributor break in Norms book, was that an option? Also it does look like the SC release and bracket are missing. :-( Oh well, guess I am not that lucky? :-)

| I see the braces that go from the foot bar down to the drawbar, but what about the flat bar diagonals that go from the final drive up to the rockshaft bearings? They shouldn't be hard to make, but might be a bargaining point. The tractor itself looks to be pretty decent. |

Probably should knock off some for the improper seat frame and no cushion.

Actually I thought it was long gone too, then the other day he called me and asked me about "an older Allis with Allis Chalmers cast into the radiator" that peaked my interest, sent me some photos, turned out to be the U, I posted about a few days ago, and we ended up buying both of them. He said he hadn't sold the B yet, so we worked out a deal on both of them, now I just have to pick them and my other two items up. At least they are all in a line from Wichita to Oklahoma City. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

The WD and WD45 lifts are completely different than this setup, I suppose one could make one work, but it would be a lot of fabricating. ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

The hardest part of making the Snap Coupler B are these : The SC bell hanger, the drawbar pivots, and the lift arms.There are several other parts,but these are the most time consuming. It can be done, but to reproduce them like originals will cost money. HTH Tracy Martin ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

I know you all can't tell me exactly, but how hard is a complete Snap coupler B to find? ------------- Still in use: HD7 WC C CA WD 2-WD45 WD45LP WD45D D14 3-D17 D17LP 2-D19D D19LP 190XTD 190XTLP 720 D21 220 7020 7030 7040 7045 3-7060 Projects: 3-U UC 2-G 2-B 2-C CA 7-WC RC WDLP WF D14 D21 210 7045 N7 |

If you know where to look, it is not impossible. It is just that they are not out there behind every tree in the fencerow. Seems there has been quite a few show up recently in the Carolinas.... ------------- Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
