Three pieces of advice:
1. It's ALLIS, not Alice. Allis and Challmers are the last names of two of the founders of different parts of the company. A brief history can be found on Wikipedia.
2. There is a dedicated forum on this site for Allis Challmers tractors. You may want to post there for more brand-specific advice. This is the International Harvester forum, for all IH, Farmall, McCormick-Deering and McCormick tractors.
3. Fixing it: First, take the battery out and put it on a charger overnight. It could simply be that the battery is dead because the generator is not working. Running the tractor will drain the battery if the generator does not work. I had an old 12V on my Super H that wouldn't even give enough juice to make the plugs fire when we tried to tow-start it. Hooked up jumper cables from another tractor and it fired up the second I pulled the starter rod.
