AC C

Does anyone have, keep or know much about these tractors? My dad has several...two with mowers on them, one with a tiller and one with nothing yet. Has a cultivator, but not on anything. The only modification is a bucket seat (more comfy! lol). They're used regular mowing and all. Said he might sell one but wasn't sure. All have been redone...good paint, run. What's a fair price? Is the tiller attachment readily available? (That is, are they easy to find?)

Hi Jan, check out this site. You should find quite a few representative machines that will give you an idea of price. At link, scroll down slightly and click on view ads. [url]http://www.tractorshed.com/cgi-bin/photoads/classifieds.cgi[/url]

A good running, restored C will go for around $1500. I've seen them bring much more and much less, but this figure is probably around average. The C was basically a narrow front version of the popular B Allis Chalmers. Engine has around 12 hp. The model C was replaced by the CA, which has significantly more hp (around 22hp), and had the snap coupler hitch as an option. The C is a good little tractor and popular with collectors. DaveM

I believe the C and the CA had the same engines and horsepower rating, but the CA had a 4-speed tranny, hand clutch like the WD, and snap coupler hitch. The C had only a 3-speed tranny. CA might also have had live hydraulics, but I'm not sure.

nice tractor arjr...just like my dad's except for his has the modified seats lol

Jan, I've been messing with c's for some time, and have never seen a tiller. Short

Short I understand they aren't common. I *know* they do exist cause my dad has one. But was thinking of the idea of buying one of his other ones...and finding a tiller but that may be way more difficult than it seems! He also has 2 cultivators...one is little more than parts but there's one good cultivator there. And one has a mower deck on it...don't know the size but the 2 mowers he has mow several acres a week. Just looking at ways to use it if I buy it from him. :-)
