maxtorman1234 Posted March 26, 2005 Posted March 26, 2005 I picked this up from a friend today. It isn't an Allis, but it was free:).

SmilinSam Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 Those sell fairly good in parts. Most of the parts will interchange with The Jacobsen anfd Minneapolis Molines of the same style. All were built by Jacobsen. Should be $300-$500 in parts there especially if it has a decent deck.
bigcountry Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 I'd throw a Kohler 301 or 321 in it if it has a good drive line and get some more years of work out of it and restore it to its former glory.
Chris727 Posted March 30, 2005 Posted March 30, 2005 I agree with bigcountry, restore her. It looks like a real nice rolling chasis and the older fords are getting hard to find.
maxtorman1234 Posted April 1, 2005 Author Posted April 1, 2005 I think I'll get a couple years out of it hauling logs, then maybe restore it. I have yet to pick up the deck, which is solid, just needs bearings and idlers.
Salthart Posted April 4, 2005 Posted April 4, 2005 You may remember my picking one of those ( Jacobsen ) at the scrap yard for 50 bucks. I put wheels and tires on it, built the carb and replaced the head gasket.. It runs like a top..Did you get the PTO clutch with that one?
maxtorman1234 Posted April 5, 2005 Author Posted April 5, 2005 I didn't know you got one. Do you cut with it? I have the deck to pick up also, its solid. I didn't get the clutch, but if i'm going to restore it i'll need to find one. Right now I plan on using a pulley on the engine, since the brake acts like a clutch anywyas. Just can't use the deck
maxtorman1234 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Posted April 10, 2005 I finally got it going. I put a good crank and rod in a 14 i had, so now it runs good. I put a pulley on the engine to drive the transmission. I rewired it and it works now. It goes pretty fast and the trans is powerful. Should make a good work machine. I'm happy with it, and its easy to work on. I have about 100 in it now.

thedaddycat Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 That looks like a Jake I had, it would fly in 4th gear....
maxtorman1234 Posted April 10, 2005 Author Posted April 10, 2005 Its a hydro, but still flies. Also exactly the same as a Jacobsen, I'd like to find another, its a pretty nice tractor.
tanman722001 Posted April 10, 2005 Posted April 10, 2005 That is cool looking tractor.But dont you think the gas tank will get in the way?LOLJust picking.Tony
maxtorman1234 Posted April 11, 2005 Author Posted April 11, 2005 Thanks, The gas tank definately gets in the way, lol, I have to get brackets so I can relocate it.
comet66 Posted April 12, 2005 Posted April 12, 2005 Nice work Graham. You will either have to find a new location for the gas tank or get smaller feet.
Salthart Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 No deck with mine but I do have the clutch assy less the engagement rod.
AGCO918 Posted April 13, 2005 Posted April 13, 2005 You have a nice working tractor there for $100.00.Restore it and use to work or show even.
