Check for the bubbles like the others said. Otherwise go for it. Simple tractor to work on. Ran one for years and my lack of hearing proves it. We didn't use earplugs in those days nor a dust mask in a grain bin. Nowdays we wouldn't think of going without protection. I keep a set of plugs in the tool box now. Better late than never. The case cab was no worse than any others of the day. They were directly bolted to the axles and so amplified all the noise and vibration. The lesson learned resulted in an isolated cab mounting on the 70 series. It is what it is. Not much by todays standards but appreciated back in the mid-sixties. Brakes can be weak but they can work very well if worked on properly. Over heating was mostly caused by the radiator being too small. BE SURE ITS CLEAN if you do hard pulling because it will need ALL the cooling capacity. We have 8-9000 hrs on ours and never cracked a head, BUT we always let the motor warm up before pulling hard and ALWAYS let it cool before shutting down. Use ether all the time and so far so good. Power steering was a little weak too but again, better than none at all. Had a loader on ours for many years feeding big round bales. Just learned to compensate by only turning the wheels while moving with a bale. For tight manuvering I'd just lift the front wheels off the ground by lowering the loader then turning the wheels which ever direction you want to go. Was never a big deal with a little common sense.

The farm and the Allis were sold and I have spent a lifetime working on farms throughout the country. I promised myself that one day I would own an Allis. That time event
