This machine you have is a 1959 model year. I would suspect parts are really hard to find for it. Your best shot might be to find a "Tusk" dealer, used to be called Kalmar AC, Kalmar AC was last owned by Komatsu Forklift out of Covington, GA - they have a web site www.kfiusa.com that can help you locate a dealer close to you. They still have access to some Allis Chalmers parts that are located in a mine near Kansas City. But the chances are very small to get parts for 49 year old machine - most machines that old have been shipped to China a scrap metal when scrap metal was in demand at $.12/hundred.

If that doesn't work there is a dealer near Pittsburgh called Langer Material Handling that has a long time history with Allis Chalmers and very resourceful. Ask for Kevin Langer use my name - John Johnson they might be able to help. Don't have a tele for you, but they are or were a Tusk - Kalmar AC dealer & are a Mitsubishi dealer. I knew Kevin's Dad, Bill Langer real well from my Allis Chalmers days.

Good Luck

Hope you didn't pay too much over current scrap value for it - today scrap iron is going for $.03/hundred and falling.
