Fixing Up a Plow and Taking It To a Plow Day

Fixing up a Allis Chalmers model 83 Snap Coupler plow and taking it to a local plow day.

[@markward6076]

The Alice is a cut above the rest. It utilizes its power very smoothly. And looks comfortable.

Allis-Chalmers built great tractors and equipment. Decades ago I bought an old A-C “C” for a mowing tractor. Loved it.

@@franklinbrown8417I still have my 1948 Allis Chalmers C.

Loading the tractor forward gives me the willys 😮

[@jimbeam1643]

You probably hear this a lot but I was raised on a small farm and we had a John Deere B and and a WD-45. Dad put a 3 point conversion on the Alice so it was more versatile and a wide front end. I spent many a day on those tractors. Good to hear them out there pulling hard. Keep up the great content.

We had a WD and a 2 bottom AC plow growing up. We always had to add weight to the back end of the plow to keep it in the ground.

[@RJ1999x]

Wasn't set

[@Jason1Pa]

Great set up!!😮

[@brianwatson6002]

Excellent tutorial. I will suggest running over the mold boards with an 120 grit sanding disc to cut through the rust layer. Follow up with the wire brush cup and she’ll scour right away. Set your rolling coulters about 2” to the left of the landside and you’ll get a nice clean furrow

[@Randys_Relics]

I was surprised how quickly they shined up! Luckily the last guy painted them before they rusted.

[@markward6076]

You are a very interesting person too watch

[@americanharleyrider8]

Awesome video.

[@juliawinberry455]

Once you get your right rear tire in a furrow your plow must be level across the beams and along the beams. The dirt should roll out level and your furrow should have a smooth edge. Your Allis looks sharp and sounds good. Ed in N.E. Arkansas

[@garrykraemer8993]

The most important thing you need to do is grease the plows snap coupler eye. My dad kept his clean and greased all the time. He was an AC mechanic a long time ago! Make sure you grease the clutch throw out bearing once in a while. That WD45 will out last you!

[@Randys_Relics]

Interesting, I've never run across a snap coupler eye that had been greased. I would think it would catch the sand around here and make an abrasive goo. I appreciate comment, thanks for watching!

[@christophermyers265]

I really like the seat idea.

[@Randys_Relics]

Thanks!

[@robertyork7560]

Awesome

[@donvoll2580]

Good day from Ontario. Boy nice looking unit. Never new allis ploughs had trip bottoms. Also good tires on back of tractor Interesting seeing JD pulling ??? tractor with a trailer & then plough Thanks What did plough shares cost. last one I heard price on 42/share

[@Randys_Relics]

The Twin City didn't have enough traction to pull the plow and party wagon. So the Deere helped them finish out the pass. Haha I had about $60 per share after shipping and hardware. Thanks for watching!

[@deweydodo6691]

Moldboards probably were scoured better at the end then the beginning.

[@scottbuss3449]

very nice !!!!!!!!

[@MikeJensen-wo7oh]

I'm a little late to this party, great video! Some of my favorite content, A WD 45 and SC plow! Where did you get the new shares?

[@Randys_Relics]

Dave Sousa 612-619-4399 for Allis Plow parts.

[@user-vt1ne7hw1u]

Where did you get the new points for the plow? Also what’s the suitcase weights you are running, probably the best set up I’ve seen for suitcases on a Wd 45

[@Randys_Relics]

Dave The Plowman 612-619-4399 for the points. I think they are weights off a compact Ford tractor. I pulled them off an aircraft tug I had. I built the bracket myself.

[@user-vt1ne7hw1u]

How much do the suitcases weigh? A piece looking into doing this myself now

[@Randys_Relics]

@@user-vt1ne7hw1u 45-50lbs each.

[@RJ1999x]

If you added the weights because it looks nice, great work, of you added the weights to hold the front down while plowing, you don't have the traction booster working

[@davidkimmel4216]

Nice

[@user-wx1qm2ib1l]

Hi there Randy ,where was the plow day at?

[@Randys_Relics]

This would have been near the town of McClure, Ohio.

[@robertyork7560]

I want the tractor

[@Randys_Relics]

It's a good machine!

[@roadrunner3563]

Traction booster adjustments?

[@richarddeckard6104]

Did you put the wide seat on? Is that in a Video?

[@Randys_Relics]

Yes, I put the seat on. I didn't do a video specifically on it but there is one with some close-up video of it. It's called New Tractor and Some Plowing.

[@user-bl8bd3no3i]

😂 UBER KOOL ,I'D USE PB BLASTER ON EVERYTHING SINCE 1956 ..😅

[@user-io1jy8ec7d]

I was always told it took 20 hp per bottom. I dont

[@Randys_Relics]

This figure's out to 15 horsepower for bottom. Set to 14 in wide cuts.
