WILL IT START? ALLIS CHALMERS WD RESCUE

[@michaelmacek9433]

I still have my old man's 1952 AC WD. He bought it used in the mid 60s to be used with his AC roto baler. If I had a dime for every bale that tractor/ baler rig put together, I would be a rich man. The sound of that tractor brought back memories for me. Thanks for saving it from destruction.

[@larrykrise3609]

always glad to see the old ones come to life.thank you

[@mattthescrapwhisperer]

If it casts a shadow, it can be restored. You just have to be handy with money 😁 That Allis sounds great!

[@ontariovintagetractor]

Haha that’s the truth lol

[@tonypaul2987]

I own a 1950 wd tractor too. Great tractor. Now sir I would taken out spark plugs put in some oil in cylinders and let soak before try turn over engine. Saving your piston rings. But glad got her running.

[@jerrycopley9325]

I had a WD 40 30 years ago, smooth running machine thanks for the memories :)

[@ontariovintagetractor]

Thanks for watching

[@michaelsimpkins631]

Good job,another one saved.

[@randykroells8049]

My dad hauled dairy manure 7 days a week with a narrow front WD during Minnesota winters.

[@spencer1096]

Great job nice to see another one saved

[@mart-u7r]

had a AC WC, very similar but no electric, hand crank start, magneto ignition. would sit all winter and start right off in the spring

[@loggerjohn01]

I like your intro! We have to keep saving the old iron or otherwise, it will be gone. Tractor pull season coming up. Our first one around here is in Carp in June. John Deere T-shirt ?? Oh No! lol. It actually sounds pretty good. Thanks for sharing

[@ontariovintagetractor]

Hahahah I like Deere to , there isn’t much I don’t like other then kubota and the off shore stuff lol our first pull is June 3rd , hopefully I’ll get some good footage , thanks for watching John , cheers

it runs better than one i bought out of a farmer's junk pile mine only ran on 3 cylinders due to a burned valve.i overhauled it got a new battery box new tires and paint and took it to the field.

[@frankroberts1325]

What a rescue, ii am 69 yrs old, and when i was little about 8 yrs old i learned to drive on a allis wd we had on our farm, i do not have that tractor anymore, but have a nice old 1948-9 i use all the time i bought at a sale for 500 dollars, i coverted over to 12 volts, now the starter quit so i just crank it by hand where do u find 12 v starters for a wd, i sure could use one.

[@ontariovintagetractor]

They are great tractors , the starters seem to stand up to 12 volts without issue . Even my high compression tractor

[@Mr-er6fg]

I've been running 12 volts on my WD45 6 volt starter for 30 years!

[@BulletproofPastor]

About 20+ years ago, I bought five vintage Allis Chalmers tractors sitting in an overgrown blackberry patch. I sold the CA to a restorer and a C to another vintage tractor enthusiast. A second C and B were in such bad shape that I parted them out. The oldest was a 1st production year B with a 4 digit serial number and ORIGINAL Wyco magneto. With profits from the other sold and parted out tractors I was able to fully restore my early B model and won a prize for it at show. These old workhorses will run longer than we will.

My dad had an I - 600 forklift.. shuttle shift drive and indestructible..AC for me

Sha-weet! Congrats!

Nice. Waiting on the tractor pulls.

This weekend is the firsts one

[@jimryan5724]

Great job 👏

[@KevinCoop1]

My father told me that when I was 4 (1959) that I was on our WD with him. He threw the hand clutch and got off to open a gate. I grabbed the hand clutch and pulled it back. He said I was grinning big. I got it through the gate and let go of the clutch. He said I did really well except for clipping the post. I remember riding on the battery box while he was plowing a field. I grew up with my butt in that seat many many hours. Plowing at night after school, the muffler would get cherry red. The good old days!

[@PaulHigginbothamSr]

I too got on a Johnny at four and had trouble making it through the gate. Seemed mighty narrow at the time. The Johnnie's clutch was forward, not back like on this WD. I knocked my first light pole down at 6, the main one to our house with the pickup. Slipped over on the wet grass.

[@tommysmith6089]

I got one and the back wheels are stuck and I don’t know how to I’m stick them

[@ontariovintagetractor]

Hi I'm in ireland I have two tractors I imported from ontario a ford 2000 petrol offset.and a fireman row crop with a mode a car engine fitted

[@ontariovintagetractor]

That’s great! Thanks for watching , happy to have you!

[@DependableAutoTruck]

just found your channel really like it the problem is like many other channels i listen mostly with head phones when i adjust the volume to hear thru the headphones when the music comes on almost blows my ear drums because it is so much louder wish could make music and voice the same level

[@ontariovintagetractor]

Thanks for watching , it’s a work in progress , we will figure it out

[@wheelrolling78]

I have a AC WD and it is having a prob. It runs rough after it warms up. Any ideas what this might be?

[@ontariovintagetractor]

Likely your point gap being too small , as it warms up it doesn’t leave enough dwell time , condenser could be going bad or the coil could be breaking down when hot. Also check the ignition timing. Start there and let me know how it goes , happy to help if I can , cheers

[@donvoll2580]

Good day Boy your intro, you are tedding with rake! 2 neighbours had allis rakes & done that. What was that board there for? I notice by were pulley goes there was a tap or valve for hydr. Boy runs ! OK what was on trailer? Thanks U know many yrs ago we had ford van with 3.0 litre in I think that would be a good motor in tractor. A little bigger that 226 & not crazy on gas that is 1.60/ litre. Thanks A few more videos, or I my missing them

[@ontariovintagetractor]

Good day Don, yeah that Allis rake works well, 2 speed plus tedding with adjustable pitch. By board do you mean the piece of tin covering the alternator? Was there when I picked it up. Sitting on the trailer in the back is a series 1 D17 with Allis 400 loader , that will be the subject of a different video. This is only a WD with the 201 engine , I can cut hay and rake all day on a tank they are pretty efficient. As for videos , I had a few shorts , but no real content is of late until this one. Was difficult getting back to normal life after I lost my father in February. Thanks for watching , cheers

How do you drain the fule?

[@ontariovintagetractor]

You can remove the fuel line from the carb and open the valve

Now all it needed before moving was the oil, (condensation), drained out of the bottom of the gearbox and she will last ya'll years.

[@tommysmith6089]

Any ideas?
