Beautiful machine Joe!!
I'm thinking I may ressurect it as a T-16H, it already has my favorite engine and 4 good tires... and I have complet Vickers or Sundstrand rear ends from BGB back. They will bolt right on. Maybe a center cone clutch too? That would make it unique, and enable most Simplicity attachments to be used on it. |

Larry, thanks for posting these, I was looking forward to it after reading yesterday's post. Very odd front end, only ever been around one of those Allis Homelites and never thought to look at the front axle. It's a quiz as to why they built them like that, the frame is 200 series, maybe a bunch of left overs? That axle is definitely unique. I would definitely grab one if the opportunity knocked! I like the odd stuff, I've been told I'm a bit odd myself.
And yes Joe, that's a fine looking tractor there! One to be proud of. |

| Thanks for the pictures Joe, I'm starting to get used to what some say is a Simplicity grill turned upside down. When they aren't a sad looking relic like mine they arre a nice looking tractor, and if the shuttle is OK I'll probably put mine back together as original. Its all there but the seat and the sheetmetals straight |

Suer makes it look like those dozers area waaaay out front. I bet with the right setup, you can really get some height to the lift on one of those...that's the one thing that bugs me about other brands plow setup. Many do not lift as high, making piling snow a challenge, if not impossible. That would be a serious snow mover.
I'd like to see a close up of a blower hitched up on one of these...it almost looks, from the pic above, that the blower hitches directly to the axle vs the separate hitch assembly for it's sister machines. |

If I get it running I will be looking for attachments for it. Do you know if they will also fit an Allis 300/400 series? |
