whoa dave, lest we get concerned about things that look bad, i feel the need to remind that those are sleeves, get new ones and pistons and the wd45 will run another 75 years or more. everything is going to be ok.
Great video! Thanks for bringing us along on your rusty tractor journey. At least those are sleeves you can pull and replace. Hopefully the head will clean up. Excited to see next video! Keep up the good work!
We had the same one on the farm. The 8ft snow blade was a bit to heavy. It bossed the narrow front around in the snow. We had every attachment for it. That looks like the right carb, as long as everything lines up. Darn I miss the old girl. Good video.
It's odd that the rocker shaft was missing 2 of the support towers. My WD45 has a Marvel Schebler carburetor instead of a Zenith. The Zenith could be original though? Mine is a 1955, I really don't know about the earlier ones. I think the Marvel is the better carburetor, but that's just me. It's a shame it had so much moisture in it. I can't believe how much junk is in those front 2 cylinders. Hopefully there are still some usable parts in it. Thanks for sharing, and good luck!
Not all that unusual for one parked out for decades and dismantled. Parts tend to get lost in the shuffle. Good news, parts are readily available. Steiners, for one source can supply overhaul kits and not too pricey. Now the bad news, tires are at an all time high in cost. That will be the big cost, hopefully the rims are saveable. Those are wet sleeved motors so with a new kit you will have a new motor.
Don't need to be a RUclips legend to know workmanship and best practices. But hey, you can become the best at broken bolt removal and damaged thread repair on irreplaceable components.

Looks like Steiner has a 4 1/8" sleeve and piston rebuild kit, probably will be going that route.
Nice work. Looking forward to more.

Thanks for watching!

what a sad ending for all that beautiful engineering .....it could be rebuilt to run again but that's a long way from here. if it's not cracked.
I have never watched anyone slip a clutch as much or as long as in this video. Tie the steering wheel to keep the front tires striaght.
that looks like a early wd carb marvel schebler was on late wd wd45 also thermostat housing on a wc 4 inch head on wd45

I wonder if that's why it was disassembled, another Allis needed those support towers!
Nice project !
Thanks!
The tires being backwards is killing me

I think I will go through Steiner on the kit, I agree the tires will be pricy, and the rims are questionable, but I think this one's worth saving.
Bad sign: Rat crap in the cylinders! 😩
Depot cart!!
I just can't watch people dismantle or assemble vintage iron with power tools. Far too much potential for unnecessary collateral damage.
