today's video I show you how I start my Allis Chalmers model B, as mentioned in the video the same process applies for the model C and CA.
this is how I start mine and there are other ways as well that other people do it but this is how I like to do it.
if you have any questions please leave them in the comments and typically I responded in about 1-3 days. thanks for watching and hopefully this helps.

You're obviously left handed, but Dad taught me (both right handed) to just "lay" the crank over with my arm...and it'd start right up. Video brings back memories.

Actually im right handed, using my left hand is easiest for me, and allows me to keep out of the way to move if the tractor were to somehow be in gear, and just find it's way easier than using my right hand

I have a 1950 IB and thankfully it has a starter motor because it’s a bear to start with the crank , and floods very easily. Nice looking B you have there and sounds great .

With my 39 B, it loves to flood. So what i have done is changed the fuel system from sediment bowl to a shutoff valve and a filter, starts much better and runs better. And when i do start i typically turn on the fuel for a couple seconds so the carb fills up (probably already full from the last time i used it) and start it. Once it fires i turn the fuel on. I do this so it doesn't flood, it still might here and there but generally its pretty good. And the way i shut mine of is that it has a shutoff button that goes to the magneto that cuts the power. Never have carb problems with leaving the gas in it, i don't run the gas out of it because its a sucker to start again if i do.

See with mine if I don't run the gas out, your not starting it back up (trust me....I know from experience!)

@@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups yeah i've heard that alot, about the running gas out of carb. Its odd how mine is the opposite lol.

I'll see what I can do, I need to fix it first and then see if we can get any rain so the grass will actually grow.

Question for ya, I just bought my first tractor and since your the master, I figured I’d ask.. the bolt that holds the starter is damaged so it won’t seat in properly will I be able to start it this way without the starter being engaged? Thanks!

@Tractors_Trucks_And_Pups 8 ай бұрын

As long as starter I’s not hitting the flywheel, then yes, you should be able to crank start it
