Hey everyone,
I figured it was time to start a proper build thread on this little Allis B I dragged home recently. I picked it up in an online auction last week, and to be totally honest… it’s probably the saddest tractor I’ve ever loaded on a trailer.
Most folks would have called it a parts tractor or yard art, and I wouldn’t have blamed them. But Bs are getting hard to find in my area, and when you do find one, it’s usually in about the same shape for three times the money. I’ve been told more than once that I’m crazy for trying to save this one – which usually means I’m on the right track.
My plan is to do a full teardown and rebuild, one subassembly at a time. The engine will probably be the last thing that gets rebuilt. First comes dismantling, transmission, final drives, steering gear, and so on. I’m documenting the whole process, and I’ll post updates here as I make progress. I’m always open to advice, tips, or warnings from folks who’ve been into these Bs before.
Here are a few photos from the day I brought it home:
For anyone interested in following along, I’m also making a video series on the rebuild. Here’s the first part of the project:
Appreciate any input from the Allis folks here, and I’m looking forward to sharing the journey as this little B slowly comes back to life.
