Allis Chamlers Sno bee help
Hi all... I recently acquired a allis chamlers sno bee snow blower.
Its two stage, has a briggs and straton engine and i got it running like a champ.
I was wondering how i can tell more things about the unit - age, hp etc.. cause I may need to get a manual and maybe a belt or two for it.
I plan on ripping it apart tomorrow to take a look in there, I know i need to fix the pull rope assembly and also it may need a drive belt cause it slips under heavy load.
any ideas would be great - this thing is a tank

Look up agri-con manuals. Type in allis chalmers sno-bee snowblower and it will bring up a sales brocure of it looks like your model. If I read it right it has a 8hp Briggs motor on it. Best I could find. Good luck, looks like a neat project.:thThumbsU
the #s for the engine are usually stamped it to a peice of the engine like the sides of the block or any flat peice of medal
thanks all rusty i looked all over and could not find anything.
Today i fixed the pull rope, she runs and goes great, i found that if i buried it in deep snow the belts would slip (makes sense cause the belts are not protected from deep snow)
the only problem i see in the future is possibly new belts, ill cross that bridge when i get to it

Hi all, im back...
Let me ask a few things.... today i had the auger belt slip off the main pully.... why? Cause the main bearing for the auger is a disaster.
I want to fix the snow blower by installing a new bearing if necessary but I do not have a manual or parts list.... was wondering where i can find parts for the old sno bee and if i can.
Does allis chamlers still support it?

need some parts hehe
need some parts hehe
UPDATE:
I bought all the bearings and pulley i need
only problem is i mangled the shaft that drives the auger, so the pully rides crooked on there and the belt slips off.... SOB i was so close.... now $80 later in parts the belt slips off....
I need to weigh my options now, maybe theres a augar shaft somewhere out there for this model

Yes more then likley there is the same snowblower in Simplicity that matches the Allis.Allis Chalmers was Simplicity for many years.
Mercury,
I don't know if this is the one but try this link to Partstree. It showed a parts manual and will tell you if the part is available or at least part #'s
http://www.partstree.com/parts/?lc=simplicity&
mn=1690673+-+724%2C+7HP+24%22+Snowthrower+-+1979
It is not a link. I went to partstree.com then you see a bunch of logos. Pick Simplicity.
Next choice was Allis Chalmers. Then snowblowers walkbehind. Then I chose I think it was 24" 7HP.
Hope this might help

Actually the one that looks the closest is the snow away 7 26" clearing path.... allis chamlers looks totally different then what I have... weird.
