You should be able to find 40" rims cheap. When I was looking for 36" round spokes everyone had 40" forsale, the rubber is the killer. I ended up paying $125 per wheel for 36".

I got my AC-B un stuck by spraying a can of WD-40 in the plug holes and letting it sit for a month. Then I had to rock it back and fourth in gear and then it broke free.

Hi Jeff, Does your Allis B have sleeves? I restored a Farmall A that was stuck and I used transmission fluid to soak the pistons, several
came out with a little assistance from a block of wood and a big hammer. The other 2 came out with
the wet sleeves. I heated the sleeves with a torch and the pistons were easily removed. I used the old rods with a new sleeve and piston kit. It is amazing the abuse these tractors have endured and can be restored. Good Luck, Hal

PS: I had a Chevy Vega that was stuck and I used
the tranny juice on it and I then had sleeves installed in it. GM should've used the sleeves from the gitgo.

just wondering to make sure you have flat to pistons other wise try going with a block of wood under the connecting rod and jacking it up make sure the front f the tractor doesnt come off the ground that could be dangerous thanks and be careful

well it takes sometime but ive tried coke, WD-40,pb blaster, i heard filling them up with 1/3 way full of diesal fule and let them burn out is worst comes to worst i tack a FLAT piece of well pipe and put on top of the pistons and tap them down or take a oak block the size of your piston and throw a cain around the tractor and put a hydrolic jack on top of the wood and the chain on that that jack the pisons out hope any of the help works and keep those old tractors running

Freeing an engine is always VERY good news. Rims will not be the only wallet drain, but what the heck. Hope it all goes as well to get it running.
