....but wait, theres more! Knocking some air out from under her- after a quick trip to the local watering hole

Some of you may remember seeing a shot of this in another thread, just before I got it. My buddy purchased some land and this old B was sitting in the weeds- he says "Want an Allis Chalmers? Guy mowed with it up til about a year ago. If you dont want it it's going to scrap." Well eff yeah I do! And so it began....... "Adventures with Allis", and if you're interested in a lot of boring rambling but cool content, its on Youtube- might make for some good toilet reading Ol Allis has gone from prying the flywheel with a breaker bar to get it broke loose (yeah- running a year ago- more like 20 ha), to a somewhat freshened bottom end, modified cylinder head and governor spring, and 'half slammed' to Industrial B stance- about 9" lower than the original row crop design. Oh, and it runs, drives and works- quite well I might add! Heres some random photos- whatta fun project this has been....and continues to be, as they all are.

And a few more- trying to keep the patina look, including trying to make the freshly repaired and painted fuel tank match the rest of the battle scars.

My Father had a 39 B. I have pictures somewhere in here where I converted it into electric start. Found em!

This one was a worker I believe but all there for the most part. Still a few more plans for it as time permits. Had a lot of fun working on it and trying to bring it back some. I enjoy trail rides and using it to pull a cart around or just staring at it. A very cool part of WH history. Take your time and enjoy working on it. The sound of that engine is well worth the wait. Good Luck

Well at least you didn’t say what years show. 😄

Awesome project. It looks great!! Be glad that it is electric start. My family has a crank start only Allis B, AKA "The Arm Breaker". We start it by pulling it with another tractor now.

So the fun begins. Started to tear the ol’ girl apart today. This is going to be a long process, but I’m in no hurry.

@Pullstart always liked Wisconsin engines older guy up the road from me had a BOLENS tractor 30 + years , with that power , similar build strength to gravely , case , really bombproof , when America , did not put an expiration date on their stuff, post WW2 , PETE

Don't remember last time I visited since I sold all my Wheel Horse tractors. Lots have happened since then. Moved near St. Louis where Wheel Horse isn't seen a lot. Have a nice spread with near 9 acres to mow with some pretty steep hills requiring 4x4. Anyway I picked up a Work Horse 1642 for my youngest son who bought his first house. Will be searching for a new engine but it is decent otherwise. Glad to be back

I suggest bolting wheelbarrow handles on the rear. LOL.

Dylan, It's hard to access a value without pictures, plus many factors come into play. Location, condition of the tractor, season, etc. I'm sure someone on here may venture a value to you, but honestly it would be hard for me to give you one without seeing it, hearing it run, seeing it move, etc. Maybe take a small video, less than 5 minutes, of it running and driving.

After three wet mowings, I took the 42SD off for cleaning. Put the 42RD on. Did a little test run. Finished cleaning the 42SD and gave it the Geasy Pete oil bath. Bake it in the sun for a few days than store till next spring.

You and I have different favorite 4 letter F words!!!!! Randy

Safe and sound. Rylee came to my rescue with Putt Putt and we towed Colt back to the barn. No, the seat isn’t bolted down

You gonna have it ready in time for the show, or do you think I'm expecting too much?

Finally finished the complete set up with Check Chains

NOS "Green" fender pan. Absorbs water, cuts down on carbon footprint...

I'm near St. Louis, and I had several Wheel Horses over the years. They're here, maybe not as plentiful as a Cub Cadet or John Deere are.

I bought old D200 few years back was I rough shape have worked off and on just bout finished will try to upload pictures

I wanted to revive this nearly five year old thread I started. Just wondering if anyone else has seen or knows the whereabouts of these? Or if there is any still left? They’re pretty cool!

Makes me wonder how some of these LSE’s could get neglected? I mean they were not cheap by any stretch of the imagination in 1986. Also they are some of the nicest garden tractors ever built by any manufacturer. Some people bought them and put them to work and I totally understand that too! I’m happy to see this one getting some well deserved attention!

I'm in. Very much want to see the transformation.

" working "

Imagine what it would be like if you were still working

Sure ... right behind a 701 & Amigo to finish. Mechanical resto on a 56 RJ. Turning aunt B into a plow mule. 400 with a cranky Clinton, 59 RJ that needs love. Maintaining the rest of the fleet. Then there's the honey do and tractor shows & keeping Dan in line ..Good golly miss Molly I got no time!

@Pullstart yup thats what I was thinking , already picturing out the line run , staying crazy , pete

And ventilated as well!

Tis merely a flesh wound.

Sometimes you just gotta take a drive… There will be lots of good deals to bring home to MO in June at the Big Show!

That PVC spacer between the left hub and axle looks very suspicious. Use a marker of some sort for alignment on each axle end and hub then put the tractor in low gear and let the clutch out momentarily. shut the engine off and look at both hubs, chances are one of them won't be lined up as they were before. That will be the hub with a bad keyway and/or broken key. Best bet would be to remove both hubs and replace the keys. The set screws should be torqued to 35 foot pounds and the locknuts on the set screws to 30 foot pounds. Hub removal is somewhat of a "Right of Passage" in the wheel horse world. DO NOT HAMMER on a hub or yse a three jaw puller. The hub is made od cast iron and will break. Here are a couple of threads that can help you along. If heat5 is needed to remove the hub some new axle seals will be needed too.

Looks to my eyes that the left axle has slid out some probably split ring on end of axel has came off or broke.

Sounds like the keys/keyways in the hubs and axles have failed.

You guys are gonna love this one! So a guy stops in at plow day last year wantin to yak horses. Says he's got a couple. It's cool lots of horsemen around we yak So he stops in a couple of days ago and says he's got a GT 14 & asks me if I want it for our favorite 4 letter word... starts with a F. I says sure lemme come eyeball it. He's real local and just moved up here from FIB land. Now a GT14 ain't exactly on the bucket list but the price point was ther. I immediately jump on the horn with one of our resident GT14 experts @19richie66 to see what I should be looking for. I know nothing about one but the owner say it's a manual. Alrighty then no such thing says Richie. Maybe modded? Owner swears it's a GT14. So I go have a look see ... only way to see where the bear crapped in the buckwheat. I know what it is and it ain't a GT14! You guys take a crack at a ID... should be easy for some. I brought it to the ranch at @Achto's insistence. Wait til you hear why the tranny is out of it... the gut buster of all times.

I just acquired a 1984 C 195 with 3 point hitch and pto. The Kohler engine is tired and leaks oil like an old Vw. Would I be a terrible person to upgrade the engine to a rebuilt 20hp Onan since I have one sitting on my bench? And as long as I'm in the neighborhood put in a swept front axle and gear reduction steering? After all it's still all Wheel Horse parts just from different years. It would be like the car from that Johnny Cash country song.

A fella I know up here in Maine has a new found like for old engines. I gave him my Fairbanks Morse ZC3 and within days he had it cleaned up VERY nicely and one of our own Wheelhorse folks helped him get it absolutely purring. He's purchased another one. A Lauson. With that he's got hold of a pump that he'd like to rebuild. We know there are kits or something available. How can he find parts to get this old pump up n running again? @ClassicTractorProfessor and whomever else...

Did some more food plot work.

Did a little food plot work…

I'm thinking both of those are true. I'd see it a hair different for a few reasons. Jim collects and obviously enjoys the small square hoods. He likes that Briggs engine. It's sure as heck unique. If that was here in our yard it'd likely be put in line for restoration and utilization. Trina likes the small square hoods. I have been a Briggs fan for decades. Unique can be a challenge but.. it's not the least bit the same as every other rig around.

I had a Harbor Freight jack, my 520's broke the weldment under the hydraulic jack and pushed it to the ground. In my opinion, those jacks are only for box store disposable mowers.

Really just what does a guy do with it. PO says everything is there to put it together but I have a feeling some parts went with the wind. Fender pan seen better days.

nice work on that muffler guard kpinnc!

Guilty as charged! 2-4300 1974 A Series Lawn Tractor A-90 Special 4-Speed Briggs 109434-0638-01 8 Peerless 1400

Went way cold @TJ Salyers on the LR guy. Yer an ass Sparky... so much for trying to groom the younguns...

One way or another, look for what is moving, but doesn’t move the next. Input pulley, input shaft, axles, hubs, etc.

It is your tractor and you have every right to do with it as you wish, so long as you aren't thinking of painting it green!

Made a low ball bid online never expected to win...but it went very late in the day (early evening I think) no other bids... Not really anything I needed.. but K341 spins over and has compression. Deck is scrap. May try my spot welder to put some fresh metal on the stern of the tub cart and use it with out worrying about dents scratches Model is 1-0380 -9 Serial (1974) engne spec number is 71128 which is listed for a 1975 model
