How did you plumb your joystick for your loader?

Most 180 or 185 tractors I've been around have a mechanical PTO engagement but that can differ depending on what the dealer in your area pushed to sell. I like the 3point features because the position control is a sperate lever to the rear of your remote levers. You can set the draft control with one rear lever, set the position with the other rear lever and then use the forward outside lever to lift and lower without worrying about if you have the same settings everything you lift and lower the 3 point hitch. The rear 2 levers which you didn't show, save your depth and draft settings. The Powet Director was introduced in 1957 but the live PTO was introduced in 1948 on the WD using a hand clutch running in oil which simply stopped the tractor's motion while leaving the PTO running. Works like the Power Director as far as the PTO goes but no 2 speed power shifting.

All allies is like that and the hand clutch is that way on the older one

I got one new in1981 and never used fluid on it just plug it up still runs like new fluid hard on it

On a David Brown 1200 you have to pull out to start it to

The small round baler came out in the mid 1954 about the same time as the WD45 tractor

I’ve got a 185 I use all the time, I’m pretty close to you over by Kipp, Ks. Nice video

It's nice to know it's such a good tractor and worth fretting over. Thank you for putting out this video, I hope you are able to point me in the right direction. > My brother has one that he is having trouble with. He's been using it right along but now it just decided to lay down on the job. He thinks it has something to do with the hydraulic's as it ties into the clutch. When he puts it in gear it doesn't want to go. Worse in the cold. Thinks it might have something to do with cylinder packing that broke loose and is clogging the screens. He told me a lot all at once so I just gave you what I could remember. If you read your comments and you have any ideas I'd appreciate a little help.

If you use the onboard either button the engine needs to be turning over before you push the button. So spraying either into the air intake while the engine is turning over is perfectly fine. Just don’t spray too much.

Does a 180 have live pto power?

I have a allis 185 without a cab or front loader that has not been run for about id say about over 2 or 3 years

Loader was mounted by Farmhand. Hope that doesn’t crack like you indicated!

Whoever mounted that loader on that tractor doesn't know anything about Allis Chalmers tractors. It will tell you right in the owners manual, you need a support structure that goes from the loader back to the rear axle. You will eventually break the power director casting where it narrowed up in the middle.

If you use the manifold heater, you don't need stater fluid at all, just don't use both at the same time

State of the Art. Allis Chalmers 185. One of the greatest tractors ever produced!

Thank you!!!

I have questions about the 185 and was wondering if it is possible to ask you ?

Thank you for the video. My father sold AC's from 59-83. He got a 180 for my grandfather and after he used it my father used it for over 30 years. The tractor came off a pecan farm in Georgia and when my grandfather started using it oil usage was high. My father's dealership rebuilt the 180 to 185 specs. The 180 is rated at 2000 rpm's and the 185 is rated at 2200 rpm's. To my knowledge it's timing and turning up the injection pump for the most part. My neighbor still uses the 180 for farming. They were great tractors. A lot of those AC's including the D series with power director's were notorious for jumping out of 3rd gear. AC's were also notorious for under rating their power output. Pop sold D17's and they were marketed as a 50 HP tractor. They typically pulled 53 HP at the PTO. Engine output was 60 HP. Again thanks for the video. You have a keeper.
