Starter Helper Easy To Add
 ✖  |
Jim Gairns has an easy fix for starting an Allis Chalmers B. Normally the operator pushes the starter in with his heel. When an older owner of a B said he was having trouble doing so, Gairns came up with a simple solution. Others wanted the device when they saw how it worked.
“Pushing the starter on the B with the heel of your foot can be hard for older people to do,” says Gairns. “My hand starter lever makes it easy.”
The lever is a very simple device that is held in place ahead of the starter. It consists of a steel bracket that clamps to the front fender support bar. Two bolts go through the bracket to a flat bar with matching holes.
The lever rests against the starter. Simply pushing it forward activates the starter. A bolt in the bracket can be turned in or out as needed to keep the lever pressed up against the starter. The lever itself pivots on a bolt through the bracket.
“Removal is just as easy as installing,” says Gairns. “Just remove the 2 bolts, pull the bracket and lever away, and the tractor is back to its original form.”
Gairns sells the bracket and 16-in. lever for $100.
