RESTORED B-751

I located this tractor on e-bay back in July of 2009.  It was in Montrose,Colorado which is quite a ways from where I live in Longview, Texas.  When I met the owner and looked at the tractor, I said to myself "Man, what have I gotten myself into here" (see before pictures).  But I also said, "Self, you came a long way to get this and it's too late to back out now. "   Now I can truthfully say I don't think I have ever enjoyed anything more than restoring this little 1938 Allis B.  When you finally finish a project like this, you can see all the hard effort and many trials it took to keep originality the #1 thing you put into it.  Also, I consider myself very lucky to have a  friend like Ken Aggen who let me freely use his barn and facilities and willingly shared his great knowledge of Allis Chalmers B models. Only if he had furnished all the $ to restore it, he would have been even a better friend - just kidding!  I will park it beside my 1946 B that I bought from Dave Maddux a few years back.  But, there is nothing like doing a restoration yourself.  I guess it just means a whole lot more when you do a restoration yourself.  A big thank you to all the people on this forum for all the knowledge and thoughts and ideas which was very helpful in completing this project.  Thanks guys - Gary Arneson
