1944 Allis Chalmers B - Part 6, Progress!

[@chrisheffernan6600]

Keep in mind you bought a tractor that had an "older restoration". Looks like all they did was "paint the pig". You have truly done a remarkable job fixing all the issues. I've enjoyed watching this. I bought an Allis Model C recently and will likely be going through some of the same issues you have already.

Two great hobbies; music and tractors!

[@dirtbag7921]

A temporary fix is temporary unless it works then it's permanent. Nice music too.

True statement :)

Check the oil level for the PTO. The trans and PTO do NOT share oil as there is a gasket seperating them. PTO even has its own drain. However, these spur gear trans tractors do whine.

Good job! Great repair on the mag. It's a shame you have to change out the housing. The upside to that is the mag bearing gets an inspection and lube and should be good for another 50 years. The mower will be your next adventure. Lead, register, and lift. It's going to to be a nice unit when you get it finished.

Thanks Ed. Steady as she goes.

Miss the sound of an Allis B 😔

That old girl purrs....you have done a lot of work to get her running right. I know bringing one back to life seems like a never ending job.. hang in there and never give up..... On a side note, with all the work you do and you don't have a press. Time to invest in a good vintage press

[@michaelldanner9684]

I agree with all the old iron you have you need a press! Perhaps you could build your own? My dad and his brothers had two Allis Chalmers Bs, a WC, a WD45, an 8N and an old Farmall. The oldest brother was an Allis Chalmers mechanic back in the day. Miss them and their wisdom! Your channel is one of my favorites.

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

Thanks! I'll probably just buy a Harbor Freight special for now, and maybe build my own sometime in the future.

[@CaptYellow331]

every gasoline tractor engine in 1940s to probaly 60 will have that gear whine

[@richardowens9170]

So, this video begs the question: do you have a preference yet between the "B" and the Cub?

[@AntiqueCarsandStuff]

My preference right now is the Cub, but I need some more time with the B before I can say for certain.

[@NotmeGK123]

yeah pretty sure that winning is normal all but i cud be wrong been wrong 2 or 3 times 😂 😂

[@cousinfester4621]

Those gears are always whiney.
