Have you found a manual/ops instructions yet? Do yourself a favor and get the info, and study it as you will be more comfortable with the unit, and more safe. Go slow with initial operation until you get to know the proper operation of the tractor as the little ones can get you into trouble just like a bigger one . . . .

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nvxDDuq8gSc9ex2Y4n4wH3OWvMt8Foeb/view Try this link. Also Gerald J has them online and I would think he would chime in. One other thing-looking at the video of your tractor I didn't see a lever for a hydraulic pump. I see the pto lever but not a hydraulic lever. Maybe I missed it.

Two things can happen with the sickle mower.. ONE is you can move the lever when the sickle is vertical and that will cause it to try to roatate and break the stick ( or something).. the SECOND is you can bump the sickle and the blades can shift slightly in the bar and PINCH or CUT something..... If you remove the belt on the back pulley, then you can run the pto and test, and run the hydraulics if you have them, without worrying about the sickle being powered.....Second is keeping the teeth/ cutters from moving on the bar... You can slide the drain tile over the bar as you said... i have a plywood bracket with a couple WOOD teeth that sets on the bar and in between a couple teeth and i strap it on with a bungie cord, to keep the teeth/ cutters from shifting.

Your best bet for good/ quick operation is to do a basic tune up... New spark plugs / maybe new wires / make sure they dont have cracks or shorting out / check mag timing "SNAP" to crank TDC / fix any fuel leaks / make sure you have new gas / air cleaner cleaned out / throttle rod adjusted to carburetor max/ min .

Congratulations!!! You have obtained my favorite Allis Chalmers Tractor - the B. The information above is very accurate and most helpful. I can only add as you now know you will find this forum to be most helpful to any of your questions - especially on the B. As to the hydraulics facing forward check the right side of the PTO. You should have either a plate bolted on, a blank area - if so no Hydraulics - or a hydraulic pump. If you want implements you would need to find a plow, perhaps a cultivator, a snow plow blade, and a mounted rotary mower. They are available but can be hard to find Take good care of my favorite. Good Luck! Bill Long ps: a picture of my son and I with Mr. Lupno's B with a mounted cultivator.

You could try a starter generator off an old cub lawn tractor, but I'm not sure it would have the torque to spin the motor. Otherwise, you would have to get the torque tube and ring gear, off an electric start B, and assemble (big job)...

Don't rush into coverting it to electric. I hated my 39B to begin with but after I got all set it does crank start pretty good. Everytime it crank starts I think about what I did to make it work. (had to do alot more than you did. Bought as a non runner) Something satisfying when it goes. But that B is not much of a working tractor. Good luck and enjoy it!

If you don't have a hole for a starter in your bell housing, you probably don't have a flywheel machined to take a ring gear. So different torque tube, different flywheel(maybe) ring gear, and the toolbox is too long to put a battery box on top of the torque tube.
If you did convert it, I would find a different toolbox and not cut that one down. Then you would have room to mount the battery box.
My 38 B didn't get regular use, but the years I had it, it never failed to start on the 2nd or 3rd quarter turn of the crank. WAY simpler than keeping a battery in it charged up.
