🔍 Description
Offered here is an exceptionally interesting original Allis-Chalmers Heavy Duty Tune-Up Kit, Part No. 243507. The original Allis-Chalmers cardboard packaging is present along with the original clear internal parts case and the ignition components contained inside.
The package is clearly marked ALLIS-CHALMERS, HEAVY DUTY TUNE-UP KIT, and 243507. The original clear parts case also carries its own period label identifying Part No. 243507, with the original blank PRICE field still visible.
Inside the case are the components associated with this kit, including the contact point assembly, condenser with its original insulated lead, and condenser retaining clip. The components remain together in their original clear case and have not been removed or disturbed by us.
This is not a modern replacement kit. It is an original period Allis-Chalmers packaged parts item, preserved in its original presentation.
Catalog Verification: An original Allis-Chalmers parts catalog identifies 243507 — KIT, ignition and lists the associated components as 1 Point Set, Part No. 225785 and 1 Condenser Kit, Part No. 225739. A photograph of the relevant catalog page is included in the listing so buyers can examine the documentation themselves.
The physical item and its original packaging are the primary basis for our identification. The catalog documentation provides additional confirmation that Part No. 243507 was an Allis-Chalmers ignition kit and identifies the associated point and condenser components.
We have conducted extensive searches for another original Allis-Chalmers packaged 243507 kit like this one. We have found references to the part number and modern replacement kits, but we have not located another surviving example of this original Allis-Chalmers packaged kit online. We therefore cannot state that no other example exists anywhere; this is simply the only original packaged example of this type that we have been able to locate through our searches.
NOS Condition: We believe this item to be New Old Stock (NOS) based on the original Allis-Chalmers packaging, the original components remaining together in the original clear parts case, and the supporting Allis-Chalmers catalog documentation. The package has not been opened or disturbed by us.
The exact manufacturing date of this particular kit has not been established. The cardboard packaging and clear case show normal age and storage wear, including discoloration, scratches, surface marks and handling wear consistent with an old stored parts item.
Please study all photographs carefully, including the catalog documentation, and make your own determination regarding condition and NOS status.
This is an especially interesting piece for an Allis-Chalmers collector, tractor restorer, vintage farm equipment enthusiast, or collector of original manufacturer parts and packaging.
📚 A Bit of History
Allis-Chalmers tractors generated a long history of replacement and service parts, and original manufacturer packaging can be considerably more difficult to encounter than the replacement components themselves.
This particular package provides an interesting look at that parts system. The original Allis-Chalmers card identifies the product as a HEAVY DUTY TUNE-UP KIT, while the original parts catalog identifies Part No. 243507 as an ignition kit and specifies the associated Point Set 225785 and Condenser Kit 225739.
What makes this example particularly interesting is that the original packaging, internal case, identification label, and components have remained together. In our searches, we have been able to locate modern replacement references to 243507, but we have not located another original Allis-Chalmers packaged example like this one.
The original blank PRICE field on the parts case and the punched hanging hole in the original card are also preserved, giving the package the appearance of a period parts-counter item rather than a loose collection of replacement components.
For collectors who specifically seek original, hard-to-find manufacturer parts and packaging, this NOS example offers a particularly interesting piece of Allis-Chalmers history.
