I had a 48 AC to clear land-mow-and plow. Couldn’t get parts so the water pump dripped and the main seal leaked like a battleship!!😀The generator wouldn’t gen and the carburetor wouldn’t carb but she would run all day with no complaints!! It was a total loss magneta ignition. Charge the battery overnight!!😑 PS: I saw a video of a 283 V8 running on one bank of cylinders!!😮 (For demonstration purposes only!!) NO pistons in one side!!🤔 You guys have a LOT of patience!!👏🏻👏🏻

@@ludicrous7044 Wow, how cool!! I had a A also. Loved that machine so much. The smell, the sound, everything about it. Well actually the one thing I didn't like is that it didn't have a 3 point. I forget what year it was but it was a hand crank with no starter so probably an earlier model than yours. The carb got plugged up on it really bad so the old man down the street who knew tractors like the back of his hand got a sock, a rubber band and an old gas tank off of a lawnmower. He took off the carb and rubber banded the sock instead then bailing wired the gas tank on top of the shroud and ran the hose to drip onto the sock. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself but it ran BETTER that way than with the crappy old carb!! We slung a blade under it halfway between front tires and back and turned it into a mini road grader. It worked amazingly well and we maintained our road and our neighbors road with it for years. Man, those were good times.

Guys, as I watched this video I so wish that I could have picked up the phone and called you. I spent most of my childhood and half of my adult life working on some of those old A/C s. My granddad had one and I had that same model B and a D-10 also. Those are some tough old engines. So proud that you kept working on it till you got them both runnng. May God Continue to Richly Bless You and Yours Forever.

Growing up in a very rural part of south Milwaukee County, near West Allis where Allis Chalmers were made I found this to be very interesting. my growing up was also in the farm tractor business with my dad. We sold & serviced Massey Ferguson & Oliver tractors but had LOTS of customers who had Allis tractors as well. This twin engine model B would be a real hoot to see how it was designed & put together.

Neat tractor(s). I have a '51 A-C B that was my Dad's. Cylinders 2 and 3 rusted from sitting in the humid basement of a barn. I was able to free them up with Evaporust and never took the pistons out. That was about 4 years ago and use it regularly now. It still runs great with decent compression and doesn't burn oil.

IIRC, the 'James Bond' bus was an AEC RT type (which predated the Routemaster). It would probably have been built in north London for London Transport and then sold on. By contrast the Bristol Lowdekka was produced by the Bristol company, which was an 'independent' in contrast to the London Transport contractors. The Lowdekka version was produced for routes with low bridges; in some cases the aisle on the upper deck was offset to one side, stepped down from the rest of the floor. For the purpose of the film, the roof was cut off and then refitted so that the bridge would decapitate the bus in a suitably dramatic fashion. It is still not uncommon for a similar thing to happen, although not intended!

According to Google the bus was operated by Hampshire and Dorset Motor Services. I am interested to know how easily the bus can be used on American roads - many years ago I saw a TV report that said New York City had banned them because the overhead traffic lights were too low. We have similar lights in the UK, more often on fast rural roads to give the drivers more warning, but they are high enough for double deckers to pass under.

The best thing is hearing you praise God! He gets the glory! That is a pretty neat outfit, reminds me of the late Harry Lee up here in Indiana would somehow bolt 3 Farmall F20s together. Not sure where all his collection went. It's typical to find Allis tractor blocks cracked between the cylinders. As long as you get a good seal between the sleeve, head gasket, and head, it works fine in most cases. I bought a '36 Allis WC with a 2 row mounted corn picker on it out of a salvage yard about 2000, 2001 or so for 850$. It had a miss, so I pulled the head and had it redone, two cylinders had a crack between them. It has ran like a top ever since. I took it to shows and picked corn with it!

Well that just way too cool!! Please do an update with the new piston and the engine running on all four. Also do you know who manufactured those engines? I don’t know if Allis Chalmers built their own engines or not!! You would think that it wouldn’t be possible for both transmissions to work at the same time unless each was only connected to one wheel. In which case you ought to be able to get a lot more power out of that double tractor than a single.

In 1966 I bought an old ford Jailbar with a flathead V8 engine that had several problems, Cracks in the block, burnt valves. Having no money I decided to get it going as best I could with help from my dad we removed all the valves from 5 of the cylinders, blocked off the inlet ports, Sealed the valve guides and reassembled it. Ran it for 18 years on only 3 of the 8 cylinders. Spark plugs were left in place but no plug leads connected. Also ran it solely on diesel. Hard to start on a frosty morning and of course sluggish. Top speed was 55 mph (88kph) got 13 miles to the gallon.

That's easily the most stuck piston I've ever seen or even heard of. The whole time i was watching you guys banging on that forward most piston head, I was thinking to myself, "why aren't they grabbing a bottle jack, some square tubing, some chains, and use some good ol' hydraulic power to push that thing out?". Either way, yall did awesome to get a 4 cylinder running with a completely missing piston. Well done.

We collected over 600 antique tractors, as old as 1907 models, and freed up seized engines on hundreds of them since the 1960's. Hammering on a piston at TDC is only going to bend rods, even on a free turning motor. Also, hammering on a piston that is really seized almost always cracks piston ring lands (even with the rod removed). What ALWAYS works is: - Pull plugs/injectors (gas/diesel or kerosene) - stuck out any water - fill cylinders with a mix of ATF/diesel or a stronger rust busting chemical if you want it to free up faster - let it sit for potentially months, topping up ATF/diesel and regularly checking if it will turn using a 18" to 30" bar (no more unless it is a huge Minneapolis-Moline or similar). Eventually it will free up and we managed to get hundreds of engines freed up and running. Compression is often down by up to ~30% on one of two cylinders, especially initially, and they often burn oil or sometimes are found to have cracked blocks (almost always due to past freezing with water in coolant), but they always ran well enough to drive around a fairground show and well enough to do demo light field work. Also if we did decide to eventually rebuild an engine, having straight rods makes the job much easier. Watching you guys hammering away and trying to force a seized motor to turn was painful. I'm sure that motor could have been freed up and run without bending any rods nor destroying any pistons if you just took your time and did it right.

ATF plus Acetone makes just about the best "penetrating oil" you can get, it's incredibly effective.

Tires look new... that's a bonus.. Wyatt you will learn a painful lesson standing on the inside of a WD / Row Tractor. These old rows are famous the clutch engaging. That's a foot pedal starter. Nice to see more Tubers using Kroil. I'm surprised you didn't run to the hardware store for a 4" pipe and fab up a whooping pipe. I have to wonder it the engine over heat and wrapped. I was holding my breath each time you backed up... Little sister was in back-over-zone. Amen...dedicated to the word and work... I can honestly say... you didn't toil under the sun

I'm from Laporte , Indiana and years ago Allis-Chalmers was by far the biggest employer in the area. They closed in 1980 and just one factory building remains in use, all the rest has been razed . We used to know what time it was by hearing their giant steam whistle that would mark shift changes and lunch breaks. They were trying to save the giant smokestack from the plant but I think it was too unstable and it's gone now. The predecessor of Allis-Chalmers was the A. C. Rumely Company . You can still see old AC Rumely Oil Pull tractors out there.

I know this thing is just a novelty but a neat thing that it would allow in normal operation is a “live” PTO. Normally on a B the PTO is not live meaning when you press the clutch in the PTO and wheels both stop. But in this case you could have one engine run the PTO and one run the movement of the tractor for applications like brush hogging or square bailing. Kinda neat!

I’ve seen a few of these tractors that worked in the fields. Back when tractors started to get bigger they were trying everything under the sun to get more power. This is one of the ways. They would put duals on them because both engines still run and they needed the extra traction, but in the end they still couldn’t compete with the 4WD tractors.

As an old farmer rancher guy I have owned my fair share of tractors and still do. I have even had the AC in the past that had a side scythe that I got working. Bought it for 300, sold it for 3600. That was a few years ago. I have NEVER seen an AC like that. Treasure it.

Wow, never seen the like with two engine's. Didn't know you are a bus guy, I was a bus driver for 24 years, as for driving double Decker's as they are called you get used to it quite quickly. I drove in York, a old city with narrow streets so it was always interesting. Love to see you in the parade.

Good work guys!! I really enjoyed this, thanks for posting. As a possible interesting aside for what it's worth... We had an old generator that was frozen up really bad. After doing what you guys did, pounding on the cylinders until we were blue in the face and we gave up, my cousin put Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders and then just covered them with a tarp (which the Marvel ate up so don't do that, set the head back on it). We got back to it maybe 9 or 10 months later and it freed right up with no trouble at all. I don't know how long it would take but less than 10 months for sure. My cousin said that he had done it before and freed up a locked up engine on an old Willy's jeep in just a month.

Hello. I used to take old motor oil and heat it up and fill the motor slam full. I did that till I had the motor good and hot. I took a screwdriver to the flywheel and it turned. That was on a farm all. You'll come across the most coolest stuff.

I like old tractors so naturally your video got my attention. I was pleasantly surprised to find out you guys are in Bogata, Texas - a place I visited many times early in my working career back in the 1980s. It’s a nice little town and I have many fond memories and made a few friends along the way. Your Siamese Allis Chalmers is quite a head turner but it isn’t the first time I’ve seen something like it. I saw a two Farmall tractors put together on an episode of Classic Tractor Fever. The guy that owned it did all the work himself and it was quite impressive engineering.
