ReedS 6 Posted November 4, 2006 Ahhh,another example of the legendary red Allis. I think these are sort of rare aren't they? I can't say as though I ever seen a grill quite like that though..... certainly a handyman's(?) special. If the price was right I would let it follow me home too. At least the handyman didn't get to the sickle...;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ehertzfeld 1 Posted November 4, 2006 According to the guy I got it from, I'm the third owner. He got it from the origanal owner, who was his neibor growing up. He was thrilled that a collector was getting it, who would restore it and use it. He has very fond memories about this little guy. Make it all worth getting it.:D I put a new battery in it and drained the gas, the carb was in great shape inside, but she has no spark:( It's been sitting in a shed for a few years. I planned on pulling the 9hp and putting one of the 10hp in it. At some point, I'll paint it, but who knows when that will happen.:D I still need to do the B1 first! It needs a few odds and ends but it's mostly there. She'll make a great worker. Oh just on the way she looks right now, I have named her Ugly Betty!:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nick 0 Posted November 4, 2006 I want to thank Elon for picking up and storing the Sickle Bar. I was going to get out that way and meet him, but we went to New Jersey to go see my Grandmother. Just explain to Melanie that the sickle is only a temporary part of the landscape.^ Don't you just love modifications? That's probably the 6th AC/Simp I have seen painted Red. Must have been a rare color.:D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
