| WELCOME!!! |
UPDATE:
Just a little note to let you all know how the restoration is coming. The little B has been torn completely apart. However,
the rear end, engine, PTO, and clutch is good to go. I am now about 1/2 way through the body work. I was sure hoping to
have this thing done by September, but have run into a few problems that I didn't think about. I should start putting it
all back together at the beginning or middle of July, and hopefully have it primed and painted by the end of August. No pictures
at the present time, my shop is a mess and I don't want anyone to see it through the pictures, UNLESS you all don't care.
Well, I will include more later, hopefully will be done on the next post. Thanks for looking you all. Like I said before
any comments or questions email me.

Welcome to my site about a line of the greatest tractors ever made. Most of the pictures on this website are Allis
Chalmers related. Some are before restoration pics and some are after, and some are just plain tractor working pics,
along with some pictures of my family and interest(yes, I have other interests besides Allis Chalmers). So click on
any link you like and if you would like to add a picture, email them to me at cndallman@hotmail.com. Thank you for looking and I hope you enjoy yourself...
I have just bought my first Allis Chalmers here in Kentucky back in the month of November 2005 and am in the middle
of doing a full restoration to it right now. The model I bought is a 1939 Allis Chalmers B. It is
a basic model, no electric start, no lights just a good 'ol tractor. The best thing is I bought it for $500
and it runs great, but needs some work as with any 60+ year old tractor. I grew up using Allis' in Iowa on my dad's
farm and on my grandfathers farm. My dad has a collection of WD-45's(4 that I know of) and my grandfather I believe
had a D-17, it's been so long ago since I have seen that tractor that I'm not real sure about the model, but I know it was
an Allis. I guess the reason why I am partial to Allis Chalmers not just growing up with them, but everyone I knew that
had an Allis always had good things to say about them and really never had to do much maintenance on them. I guess you
could say that they are the working man's farm tractor. I say your paying for the horsepower and one of the easiest
tractors to operate, instead of paying for that green paint like the other farmer. Anyway, my passion is Allis Chalmers,
but also my family which is also on this webpage. So look around and enjoy...any comments email me. Thank you.

What's New?
Well, I haven't updated in a while mainly due to the fact that my new job has pretty much stopped progress, but I've
started back up on it. Now I have the front wheel bearings off, attempting to replace them. I'm repairing my front
rims...I was cleaning them up and found small pin holes around the valve stem opening(as usual) due to the calcium choloride,
but it wasn't too bad so I'm going to fix them up, I probably won't be able to tell the difference. Found out that my
rear rims are too far gone to fix, so I will have to replace them. All I have left is those items, plus a new seat,
gas cap, air breather cap, and a ring bracket for my air breather cup. Other than that with the exception of a few touch
up and filling the transmission up, it is ready to roll. The dang thing fires of with just a half a crank. My
father in law found out the hard way that the magneto was extremely hot. He thought being an older tractor that it would
be weak...so he put a screwdriver in the mag and told me to crank while he tested it by putting his finger on the screwdriver...he
found out it was hot, he felt it for a couple days after that...he said he'd never do that again. Now we get a pretty
good chuckle when we talk about it. More to come.
