perry Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 i have had this old Allis B-10 stored for a few years now and decided to dig it out and get it running again. this will be my going to get the mail to dragging trees out of the woods tractor. will be my daily worker and worked hard at times:D. the previous owner had converted it over to full posi-traction. don't know if he switched the gear in the differential or what, but this thing is a beast. it can be challenging at times turning in tight spots but it should be a real work horse out in the woods ;).

rokon2813 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 If your going to use it hard, do yourself a favor and pick up a couple 1 5/8" muffler clamps. Install them around the axle tube right inside the differential. I've split 4 axle tubes in the past few years, overworking them, but never broke one with the clamps on them, and I've abused them pretty hard. ;);)

rokon2813 Posted April 25, 2011 Posted April 25, 2011 Just between the diff and the tranny housing. I don't think you can butt against the diff because of the grease Zerk. There is actually room for 3 if you offset them, but 2 does just fine. The axle tube can no longer expand so its a lot harder to split it. I'm not saying you'll NEVER split one with clamps, but I havent been able to yet :D:D:D
larry8200 Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 I like the tractor, and I like the idea of a "getting the mail tractor" I have an early B10 I'm putting together and I think I'll make it my official "getting the mail tractor" only mines not original and behind the aggs that are just leaning there, it has nice purple wheels, in fact it's paint can only be called "special" :D
