Ok figured out how to post pics. Just wondered what this would be worth to anyone and no I could not find a plate with model number on it. It says Allis Chalmers on the front of the hood and that is about it. Thank you in advance for all of your help

Unstyled WC. Look on top the left rear axle housing for a serial number beginning WC. Probably 1935 to 1939, but with the serial number there is a serial number list on this forum that can identify the year.


Looks complete, is the engine stuck?

I am sure that the engine is stuck, it has been sitting outside for who knows how long. I just purchased this property and this is there. The house behind it is pre civil war.......but, I would like to clean it up. I just wondered what could I ask for this? and where would be a good place to market it?
 
Weight as it sets is about 3300 pounds. Could start at a grand cash in hand. The crushed weight price is not much less. Just let set if you can move in side. About 90,000 built '35 to '39. Not pricing your iron per say just my 2 cent you were asking.
 
Prepared scrap here is $200 a ton so its value in the midwest is $300 or so as junk.They dock for the tires.

Its a $500 tractor at the most.
 
Post on the AC page of this forum and on the "unofficial Allis Chalmers" page. http://www.external_link/forum/forum_list.asp

Don't scrap it. Its looks all there. If the engine is stuck that's hard on the value, but there are parts that are useable.

Look on top of the left axle housing for a stamped serial number, should begin with WC, in 1/2" high letters and numbers.

Sure wish you where not 1500 miles from me I'd give you some where between $300-500 for it but your to far from me. But either way please don't let the scrap man have it because it a part of history and parts for one like that are getting hard to find

The serial number is on a flat spot right on the differential. That is the big round part in between the two tires, in case you don't know. May have to scrape a little to read it.
 
Well cowgirl,
At least nobody laughed...
As for selling it I would put it here in the photo ads or on Craigslist.
Ask $500 OBO and if they try to beat you down too much remind them that the scrap man will give you $300.
Sounds like if you let it go for the $300 you'd be doing ok.
Good luck.
 
It looks to me like the seat may be cast iron. I sold a tractor with a cast iron seat on it and someone told me the seat may have been worth more than the tractor. If it's cast, don't let it go with the tractor because it has antique/collector value independently of the tractor itself. From what I understand, almost all cast iron seats were made for implements and machinery (other than tractors) in the 1800's to very early 1900's and only got onto a tractor when it's (stamped steel) seat broke and the farmer substituted one of these cast iron seats off an old piece of machinery. You can read other people's posts on this site by using search phrases 'cast iron seat' and 'cast iron seats.' Also check current auction prices for these seats. Good luck.
 
Thanks for all of the imput guys, and thanks for not laughing, I just am ignorant about tractors.......I can drive one though......
 
Have you checked your email yet? I have made you what I think is a fair offer, and it wont go to the scrap yard, and I can assure you, it will be taken care off.
 
Cowgirl, I am in Oconee Co. about 20 miles from you. Email me your address. I would like to see the tractor and make an offer.
I did my practice teaching at Crescent under Mr. Clinkscales.
