I got this tractor from my grandpa's brother. I guess that would make him my Great Uncle?

We spent about 8 hrs getting it running and then I loaded it up and brought it home. Started painting on it a little yesterday.

I also bought a 1940 Allis Chalmers WC that the motor is locked up on and an old set of rear tires for $200 from him.

We are also getting for $400 a 1949 Allis Chalmers B from one of his sons. I have to make up my mind of whether I want the B or the C that I currently have. One of my brothers will buy the other one from me for however much money I have in it.

I like old tractors and I like messing around with them. I also got a free Athens disk turner with the C that I picked up. Played with it in the garden and it turns dirt like pretty awesome!

Here are a couple pics of the C.

that is really cool bf, it looks young again painted
I've always wanted to buy a tractor just to restore it but that idea just hasn't panned out yet.

Nice looking little oldie. My dad used to have an old Allis but he traded it off. Wish I could have got it.

Pretty cool BF, I like old stuff, and restoring them is better than throwing them out!

It dont matter how much you spend on it
you always get your money back on a Classic

Those are great tractors...back then engines were easy to work on and didn't have all the fancy electro jazz like todays.

Good looking B gamestalker. Suppose to pick up the B sometime soon. My uncle is doing a lot of work on it to get it running well and then I will be taking a ride down there.

Ford guys. You gotta love em!

Been making some purchases and trips to GA again. Just got this nice trailer and a very cheap price from my brother. I painted it up and it looks new again.

Picked this up Saturday along with some more rims and tires and a pull type cultivator. This joker needs a lot of work. Got 2 small cracks on the block that I JB welded yesterday. Along with changing out the radiator. Had $300 in parts put on it just to get it running so I could load it on the trailer. Got to do some work to the governors which I know nothing about. Sounds like ball bearings slinging around inside of it. I like it though.
