    I love my allis’s! It was hard to watch you work on it! I know them like the back of my hand!! But you did good figuring it all out!!

      I knew that an AC guy would find that hard to watch, I know I would! Yes, I had never touched one before. The Ferguson guys will dislike the next tractor video...

    First tractor I ever drove was an Allis, either WD or WD45, my farmer uncle had several different sizes of Allis back in the 60s. Actually I only steered it the first time, my older cousin got out of the seat and told me to sit as we were flying down the gravel road, as you know 15mph or so feels fast on one of those and to an 8yo town kid it is flying! I was very happy with that day. The hand clutch is lots smoother than the foot clutch, very nice feature for beginners to take off without jerking or killing a rough running engine.

    I have an AC WD-45 and it runs flawlessly after sitting for 3 years. 👍👍

    Of course it runs, it's an Allis. :-) Poor thing wanted so hard to start and run, and you couldn't even find the throttle. :-(

    Hello, it's a no brainer that the throttle is always on the right side and the hydraulics is on the left side . Also by the sound of the poor engine trying to run, the timing is way off.

    This video is making me want to jump in and adjust that carb and throw them stupid resistance wires away. Tractors need low resistance wires. Plus I need that fuel gauge. Lol. Actually I’d take the whole thing cause that anibump steering add on is on my wish list too

    • @TheCarFarm

      It was not a planned event. The tractor was in the way, and it was seized. We couldn't resist pulling the plugs and lubing the cylinders. Then, I put a 4-5' bar on the crank and let it sit. Then it broke loose. THEN I decided to grab a battery and it cranked. Once it cranked, we were curious to make it spark and fire. So, again - to all the purist - I'm sorry this wasn't an intelligent 'Will it Run', it literally just snow-balled. I had never operated that type of tractor - I knew the parts, and eventually (painfully) figured everything out. It was shot with one angle, one camera, one take. In any case, it runs great! It is sleeping with the Newport, covered, on the other side of the property. If you'd like to purchase this tractor, please contact us via the email in the bio.

  • @jamesanderson2176
    @jamesanderson2176 3 года назад

    First, that looks like a 12-Volt battery. If it's still negative ground, it's almost certainly still 6-Volt. Second, all older tractors work from a governor. You don't directly effect the throttle opening, you tell the governor what engine speed you want and it modulates the carburetor. You're lucky it didn't run away from a stuck governor the first time it fired.

    • @TheCarFarm
      @TheCarFarm  3 года назад

      Yup - we were quite aware (notice I had a 12v Accel coil in there?). We had no generator charging, that was for certain - and not a concern. This is not a meant to be maintained as a runner/driver - just needed it out of that building. It's now sleeping in another building. I'm pretty sure we would've caught a run-away scenario - it's a gas engine with a functioning ignition key, not a diesel. Thanks for watching! I'll have another tractor video to critique coming hopefully in the next few months.

    • @TheCarFarm
      @TheCarFarm  3 года назад

      Nope, it's good - still alive. It's quite common to run 12v to a 6v starter, or any other DC motor for that matter. Thanks for watching!

    I swear sometimes videos like this are just posted to aggravate people. Your putting a video of yourself messing around with a piece of equipment you know nothing about on the internet. Then making a fool of yourself by showing you weren’t smart enough to use that same internet full of millions of terabytes of information and thousands of videos on everything to do a 5min search to find out anything about it first. I love seeing old iron made to live again but I don’t love so called mechanics who don’t even know enough to do a little research or even move stuff around while looking at what it does to figure out which lever does what before diving into the deep end and trying to start it.

    • @TheCarFarm
      @TheCarFarm  11 месяцев назад

      Wow - firstly, a fool wouldn't know "you're" from "your" and post ignorant rants. Secondly, stand in front of me, and I'll fix that mouth for you. What you failed to observe was a completely unfamiliar machine resurrected with zero assistance from the internet. Think about that the next time you borrow someone else's knowledge, in lieu of leveraging your own. I'd argue the fool is the ignorant.

      @@TheCarFarm wow the level of Butt hurt from the crescent wrench Vice grip crowd is epic. Ignorant rants? I actually thought you guys were spoofing for a laugh at first and just found it annoying instead of funny. Guess I struck a nerve. Suck it up buttercup it’s good cider anyway. I guess you never saw autocorrect slip one by someone before either? I won’t bother to mention that I had enough common sense and good enough observation skills at 12 to have figured it out on my own before doing something potentially deadly dangerous or destructive then. Of course I should be nicer and say it’s because I had good teachers an analytical mind and a passion for all things mechanical to the point that my nickname was tool box. I have to say though I shared your happy enthusiasm when you got it going but wasn’t surprised at all how little it took for you to do it. They really knew how to build stuff that lasted back in the day. I once dragged home a late model WC that had sat under a shed for 25-30 years and had it running in a few hours. Either way what really matters is you succeeded, had fun learning and nobody got hurt.

      @TheCarFarm  11 месяцев назад

      @@aaronfarr4753You almost got it - yes, we were having fun. No, autocorrect didn't change 'you're' to 'your' for you. No, we didn't plan this nor was _any_ research conducted. Yes, we all have been turning wrenches since probably before 12. No, we didn't have YT videos back then to lean on - just good ol' fashion mental capacity and now experience. Yes, you missed the seized engine, the 4ft bar and hours of soaking cylinders, that led to cranking with starter that led to coil for spark that then turned into a WIR episode. We were going to just drag it out with the skid-steer. This is also a very early video, and we had fun. And now we have a running, un-seized WD45 sitting down in the lean-to. Could we have damaged anything? Absolutely! AND WE DON'T CARE. We know ALL the risks, and it's just not a concern. In fact, had that thing windowed the block, it would've been more fun. It certainly would've struck the nerves of the tractor boomers.

      @@TheCarFarm I didn’t miss the stuck engine part. It’s what I meant by not being surprised at how little it took to get it going again.
      If that was a farmall or ford etc your next video would have been of it in pieces and you talking about how you were waiting on an engine rebuild kit and the machine shop to finish with your block.
      I’m glad you had fun and learned a lot. Did the hand clutch free up on it’s own or did you have to unstick it?
      The video did remind me of how much fun I used to have dragging things like that out of the scrapyard and getting it going again.
      You are right, we didn’t have the internet, all we had was ask someone, go to the library or just figure it out by trial and error.
      My apologies for forgetting that sometimes and being snarky about people not using it now. I sometimes fail to remember how great figuring it out on our own and the sense of accomplishment that came with it felt.
