Not being up on ALF apparatus, I'm not sure where this one lies in regards to being a 400 or 500 series chassis. This 1939 ALF from Newark, NJ doesnt look like either to me....photo was on eBay in April 2005. Neat looking cab.

Looking for a replacement V12 "E" for my senior 400. Any leads or tips on a running, or non running 12 is appreciated.
Thanks!

There is a "Then" picture of my 400 tiller posted, and some people wanted to see the "Now" pictures. These photo's were taken 2005. The photo of the tractor is sitting in my driveway, the ladder photo is taken sitting as found...gives new meaning to the term "she ran a few years ago"
