[AT] Some ads from the 3/26 Lancaster Farming

[Mike Sloane]

That does indeed sound tempting. The number is unlisted, but it is in 
the Belvidere exchange, which puts it right on the Delaware River just a 
little south of the Bethlehem/Easton area.

My Guide tells me that the IB was made from 1938-1958, but the numbers 
made each year appear to be small. I am not much acquainted with Allis 
Chalmers, except having seen the ones that Cecil Monson has and Roger 
Welsch has written about. From images found with a Google search, it is 
definitely a small ("Cub/Pony" size) tractor, not something that I would 
want to use for clearing my road. I wonder if the cab is some kind of 
plywood and plastic sheet monster or a real fitted cab. The problem with 
this model is that I suspect that any needed parts are going to be hard 
to find and expensive.

If anyone is serious about this machine and is in contact with the 
seller, I can take a ride over, kick the tires, and take some digital 
images. We are expecting 2" of rain on Monday, but the rest of the week 
may not be all that bad.
