[AT] Allis Chalmers B Question

[Charlie V]

Well now.  Sounds like you have touched all bases.
If you haven't tried it already, my only other suggestion before
towing would be to put a small prime of gasoline directly in some or
all of the cylinders through the plug holes.  If  that does not make
it fire, I'm out of ideas.

Good luck again.
