This is a great start. Thank You

I've never heard of the Model B, I've actually seen one of those old R's though (I think it's basicly an A with one more straw walker).

I believe the B was a Rice model. The R used a Raddle Chain for Separation instead of Straw Walkers.

"R" had no straw walkers just a raddle for separation. Wish I knew how the raddle could replace walkers. "B" was a rice machine of a model "A" with creeper transmision, 18.4-28 cane tires, chain driven reel speed countershaft drive, and possibly spike tooth cylinder.

the same way the woman gets the job done raddle, rattle, raddle and on and on.... don't get me in trouble - your parts will go up!!!

Thanks for the answers and the correction on the R, I knew that the difference was in that back end area somehow. Since I live in Kansas I guess the B being a rice machine is something I wouldn't know, though I do know the H designation behind the other letters stands for hillside.

Hi, I have a round about way to answer your question. Somewhere down this page (I believe the most recent summer),someone posted the same question. I thought I printed off the questions and comment, but I can not seem to find it in my Gleaner archives. It had engines with powers and grain tank capacity of almost every machine. If anyone else knows what I am talking about or can lead the way to the post, I would appreciate it. Thanks for your time. Ryan

tbran, How good were the earlier Allis Chalmers gas engines used in the A, A2, C, and C2 (230, 262, and 301)IJ Did they drink lots of gasIJ Did they have replaceable sleeves - are they rebuildableIJ Did they have any querks or weak points - carbs, govenors, water pumps...IJ I am looking into acquiring an A2 in the near future and would appreciate any comments.

Have cut 25 acres of soys with A2 in a day and burnt 60 gallons of 93 octane. Dad was on my R52 and cut only around 50 acres the same day but probally only on about 30 to 40 gallons of fuel. This was in 98. 230 engine seems to be a stout and reliable engine being that it is original engine from '67.
