Hopefully you haven't started a color war. Both tractors are great! I have an Allis B (among other ACs), so I'm partial to persian orange. Given that, I don't think you can go too wrong with either. The Allis is probably a little lighter in weight than the Farmall, but will probably do the same things. You can probably find an Allis for a litle less money than a Farmall A or Super A in comparable shape. The Allis is very easy to work on- the Farmall may also be easy to take care of. I'd look around, try to find one of either in good shape, and then go for it. I would suggest waiting a little longer to find a tractor in nice condition that doesn't need much (or any) immediate work; this will almost always be less expensive than buying a fixer-upper. When looking at an Allis B, later models (late 1940's and later-I forget the year) have a larger engine (125c.i. vs. 113c.i.) and considerably more horsepower than early models. You may also want to consider an Allis C (same size but a two row (width) tractor) or the later CA ( a really nice tractor in the same size class with more horsepower and a type of "live" power).
