- This1945 Allis Chalmers model B has been parked in a barn for years, the owner no longer uses it so he asked me to take it away.
I have many channels in my feed but when Marty uploads is the only time I’m truly happy I have RUclips.
Literally when Marty uploads, it's the only time I press on it straight away. The others get cleared till later 😂
Hear hear!!
😂 well said sir
Same here.. It's a shame that at this point 9000 views with only 2.5 likes helps him so much.
Me too👍👍
Marty, "will it start?" Is always a rhetorical question with you 😂
Great video as always!
Lol I thought the same thing to myself when I read the title
This man can start up a submarine sunk 😂
Engine missing... he drives it home 😆
Little does that Allis know it has just hit the tractor lottery and now will live a life of luxury.
And a bunch of relatives!
I said that about my tractor after I brought it home. If you'd have seen the place I bought it from, you'd understand. Nice people but looked like extras from the movie The Hills Have Eyes. Tractor was outside in a junk infested unkempt, weed filled back yard next to a swimming pool that looked like you could fish in it and catch trout.
What did your wife say about not bringing home anymore tractors.
@@nicholasproietto2500"im gonna take you away from these bad people little tractor"
@@nicholasproietto2500 At least they were nice people...
I can just imagine the sigh MrsT makes when she sees Marty leaving w/ the trailer hooked up. LOL You are the Tractor Whisperer!
😂
Yes, we need an audio of Mrs T as Marty drives through the gate. I reckon it'll be something along the lines of "Oh for ........ not another one" 😂
@@MartyT can we get her reactions/thoughts of your ventures?
What a perfect way to sit with a coffee on a Monday morning, thanks for the video marty, constant inspiration to enjoy life
Marty always makes it look simple. He's the definitive troubleshooter and a most enjoyable youtuber.
Hes just doin things heaps practical, love it ^^
Could watch your videos all day every day mate.
I like the authenticity of these "will it start" videos. Nothing is done for the sole purpose of views.
Spoiler: For Marty, they always start. The question is rhetorical.
How authentica can it be when he has never failed to start / fix something. Wouldn't be surprised to see him find a spare tyre, spark plug and a fan belt in a paddock, start it, drive it home and grade his drive way.
I love the absence of fake drama, too
The history of the Allis B in the UK is interesting. 1000's were imported from the USA early in WWII. My uncle bought one in 1940 for 100 pounds brand new. For many UK farmers it was the first time they had anything other than a horse.The UK models were usually Petrol to start converting to TVO when the engine warmed up. Uncle's never had electric start fitted because it crank started so easily. (I noted your 2nd and 3rd starts. Allis also produced a small (5' cut!) trailer combine(Allis C) which had a more powerful engine. We cannibalised one of those for the tractor and a good machine suddenly became very good. Uncle sold the B in 1977 for 50 pounds to a young neighbour who still uses it, particularly on soft ground in winter because it doesn't tear the ground up (so light) . I have never seen the sawmill before but they came with a range of mid-mounted equipment. Definitely a blast from the past, which I spent hundreds of hours piloting. Good memories.
I had an old Bedford CA Dormobile camper, which needed on occasion to be hand cranked. Always got a bit of a laugh from the locals in Europe. You should never grasp the crank with your thumb and fingers. I learnt fairly quickly to just use the fingers and keep the thumb out of the equation. One backfire taught me that !! Loved the video Marty what a neat old machine !!
What a great find. This old girl should be restored to her loving best to celebrate a long working life. History needs to be preserved and if this old girl could talk what a story she could tell.
That would be great. The new generation...
I agree, what a great series of Marty Vids that would be.
I suspect someone already has the perfect museum piece. Setting it up to reliably get its hands dirty would seem like an honest tribute to me.
As a lad, dad brought home one about a decade newer, it had the adjustable front end and distributor/alternator.
I want to say someone made a 3-point conversion, you may be able to find enough info to scrounge one together.
My Grandpa died before I was born, he bought an allis B brand new in 1938.. Its the only thing of his that I have... Ive got the original bill of sale with it.. My goal is to restore it!
Thanks Marty!
The rooster crowing had me in tears, I really miss farming.... Blessings from Chattanooga Tennessee
Marty's magic never fails, I actually thought that this one might be more of a challenge than others, but once again he proved me wrong !
Another old tractor saved . And of course it starts right up . Marty you are the man . I was just fixed to go to bed when video came . Of course had to watch. Great video.
the content we all come here for
What a cute tractor! Tractors are tractors, but there's something about the proportions of this one that make it very photogenic.
Can you imagine in the year 2104 a 2024 tractor being able to be brought back to life as simply as that...?
Nice save Marty!
Cheers from Tokyo!
No I can't, but I'll wager tractors from the 1920s through the 1970s will still be putting along. I have a cub of that vintage and while it sits for months, pull the choke with ignition off and crank slowly twice, switch on the ignition and it almost always starts on the first crank.
I love watching your videos, Marty. Your skills and attention to details when you are working on restoring these machines to be useful reminds me of my dad.
Marty, it is amazing the "touch" you have with these old machines. Eighty years old and you brought it back to life. Good video.
I appreciate the simplicity of older engines.
I will never get bored of watching you fix something, and then drive it on to your trailer, which you fixed.
In 1988 I traveled to NZ. It's a beautiful country!
You had that old tractor purring like a happy kitten
Simple mechanics combined with ascetics makes this very photogenic: guaranteed to make anyone smile😀
No cuss, no fuss, just straight up fixin'. Such a great guy. Thank you for sharing with us. Those belt making materials don't grow on trees. Cherish them. lol Great little tractor and the saw setup is right up your alley. Have fun with it.
I think we had one of those when I was about 10 years old, so around 1970. I thought it had the steering column canted to one side, but I must have remembered that wrongly. It must have been a Model B as it was tiny. We called it "Chuffy" because of its characteristic exhaust sound. A handy little tractor for a small farm. Another great video, thanks Marty!
I am always amazed when you take a machine that's not been run in 20 years or so and bring it back to life.
Brings back great memories of the 1950s learning how to drive grandads little tractor. Remember sitting next to him as he showed all the how to's. And hand cranking it and backfiring and nearly hitting my jaw. Did a good bit of mowing pulling an old cycle mower behind. Thanks Marty.
Just Love this guy, so down to earth in every way. Wonderful to watch.
A few months ago I got a Ferguson tea 20 which have been sitting in a barn for 32 years. Yesterday I got it running, tomorrow I will hopefully be driving it home 😂
Thanks for the video 🤘
Marty , you have the gift when it comes to machines . I love watching you bring them back to life . Nice sounding tractor , and a saw too .
Another very lucky tractor saved by Marty from a lonely retirement destined to rust away neglected with only memories of its once proud owner feeding it clean fuel and fresh oil.
This brings back memories, my grandfather had a B model when I was a kid. Reliable as the sunrise and simple as a wagon wheel.
Three years ago my wife and I bought 2 acres with lakefront and I would really love to find a machine like this to restore vs. buying new. Watching your videos for a long time makes me think I could actually make it work!
Awesome, another old girl saved! The little "AH!" face when she popped for the first time 😁
It always amazes me how longer lasting older technology is epic video Marty
As always an enjoyable video. Marty is at the top of my list of favorites because of his skill and calm demeanor.
Wow, it runs great. It is only 5 years older than me! I grew up driving a WC with hand brakes. We also had a WD and a WD45 to farm with. Then dad bought a used CA with a 2 bottom plow. He really liked it. It will be running long after I'm gone! Thanks for giving it new life and saving it from the scrap yard!
That looks like a Fairbanks Morse magneto. If it is you can depend on it for another 60 years! Great job of getting that old girl running and moving. Thanks, Marty.
The simplicity of these machines makes me wonder if, in 80 years, anyone would even try to start one of today's machines. Another gem of a video.
Marty, That Allis Calmers tractor was one heck of a find. And for It to crank up, and run that well with little work on it, remarkable. Good for you.
It’s not for me Darling, it’s so the kids have something to drive to school 🤠
You made that look easy. That or you are just lucky, well done!
Little Marty, "did you tell mom you bought another tractor?" :) love the videos!!!
Evening mate, this upload brings back memories!
My father bought an old Aliss way back in the seventies, he was in the waste reclamation industry and stuff like this came along from time to time.
The one he had might’ve been earlier than the one here, it had to be swung as I remember and it kicked like a bugger!
He bought it home on a low loader and started it after putting some petrol in it, ( it started on petrol but ran on TVO-tractor vaporising oil)in just a few swings!
He proceeded to drive it around the lawn, tearing it up in chunks! My mother was not thrilled but he was laughing like a kid and popping wheelies it had so much torque! I later understood that this propensity for early tractors to rear up on the back wheels killed more than a few operators and hastened the development of the three point linkage.
He put it in a barn and was intent on restoring it but , like most men in his industry, when a profit came along he took it and bought something else!🤣
It was fun to watch but not particularly safe! Take a note mate, they can flip over with devastating consequences.
The same thing can happen with some 60s tractors if you put something too heavy onto the three point hitch. I helped clean up the aftermath of an accident like that just a few years ago, thankfully with barely any consequences. The threaded rod on the linkage broke and the driver was pretty shaken because he had no longer been able to steer. He did brake fairly quickly but not quite fast enough.
Some hard lessons were learned back in the early days, sadly too hard for some. The manufacturers of equipment developed much safer systems so those hardworking people’ terrible sacrifices weren’t in vain.
Modern agricultural machinery is much safer and operator friendly.
It’s a pity we don’t learn and evolve as quickly in other facets of our existence.
I would love to see that beauty restored and taken to vintage field days .cheers from Australia 🇦🇺
Marty, you're a magician! As always, another satisfying video from you...
This gives me flashbacks! My dad had an Allis Chalmers A Model when I was small. Super tractor for a small garden!
You've a great ability to get things back running marty. Well done.
Great job Marty. 👍
What a sweet ol' girl. Glad you saved her.
Marty’s touch brings them to life. You are a magician!
Grand old tool . great to see you still reviving the early mechanical machines Marty , top man . really good how your coming across the collectable old ones and saving them for posterity . great to see you checking them over and bringing them back to life . total respect to you . keep on what your doing , you have been very lucky for finding all these machines , you should set up a machine shop for the vast knowledge you have . excellent work . keep going . fro GB . .
Always love watching someone bring new life to an old machine, also love bringing an old machine back to life myself.
Cannot wait to see the next video with the old girl cutting firewood (after her service)! Awesome work as always Marty!
Marty. I tried your Diesel/oil mix on my 53 Farmall cub today. The old dog looks like a shiny new penny now. Thanks for the tip. Keep getting those old tractors running and save them from the scrap heap. Yours is my favorite RUclips channel.
That's alright Marty. Good to see you again.
Im glad it was an easy one for you. But i really wanted it to be a longer video. Lol. Keep up the great work. God bless you and your family!
Great to see another one brought back to life! Well done Marty
Absolutely love it! I have come to believe that Marty can resurrect anything mechanical. What a combination artist, surgeon and wizard!
Another resurrection by the Patron Saint of old machines!
Can't wait to see the wood saw in action.
What I've always liked about Marty is the methodical way he prepares the engine to restart it, and what a spectacular idle, this thing really wanted to get going again, good job Marty!
Excellent video mate. That saw sure is handy. I could stand there all day cutting firewood. Thanks mate.
Finally got time to sit down and watch this one 😊
I knew you would not leave without this fix. The step by step process you go through on all these large repair jobs is the same which helps any of us that might want to take on a project of this magnitude. Fuel, spark, carb, oil, wheels/tires, fluid levels, etc. And if all works, move forward with a more formal restoration. I think you should consider writing a book on basic restoration repairs. I know I'd buy a copy. As usual, great job!
You make it look SO EASY!!!
Even the clutch worked! What a great find. Mag gives off a bit of a belt then 🤣
Great little tractor awesome to see you get it running
Marty, The old simple machines never sease to amaze me at how welll they continue to work for soooo many years! The simpler the better and you know how to nurse them back to life! I’m sure they appreciate another run! Thanks for the great video. Looking forward to the next one, but please be very careful!
Marty once again you have done fantastic job !! Brought a nice tractor back to life ! You are a Wizard, those AC B tractors are fine machines , they had a lot of different attachments which made them very useful for the small farmers , I am looking forward to see more episodes on this tractor , well done friend cheers 🍻 .
Marty T scratches the itch, as always. Top Class
You are amazing! I really enjoying you bringing back old and forgotten machines.
Just an AWESOME video example of Mr.T's skill's here in Internetland. Possibly the question may be , "what can't Mr.T fix/get running?" lol . Wonderful video of him teaching us about the many different machines he's repaired, giving them 2nd or 3rd chances of working life again. Thank you Mr.T, a joy to watch and learn here in Maine.
My first experience with a magneto my grandfather had one in his shop, I was interested so picked it up and turned it by hand, and was rewarded with a nice pop through my hand to remind me not to be messing with his things 😂😂, great video Marty!
I am always left in awe watching you repair these machines. I'm so glad that they are being rescued and used.
Brings back fond memories of starting my cousin's old Farmall H with the crank - thanks Marty!
Always enjoy whatever you are showing. Thanks.
Very cool little tractor, well done again Marty.
That tractor and I are the same age. It seems to run much better than I do, even though it is a tie cosmetically!
I have no use for a little tractor, but when I see one like that, I sure want one.
Great little machine!
My dad worked at Allis Chalmers when this was made.
Love your work Marty.
Would love to see those saw blades in action.
you really should open up a little tractor museum with all the old and special tractors you own :-D
I thought like with that hand crank this thing will never start, you're a magician!
The magneto has an "impulse" start..
the "flick" from turning it by hand is the same as full strength spark when running.
So naturally it will start on the crank...
When the starter is used the voltage doesn't drop
(as it would when the starter and the coil were both draining the battery during starting)
so there will be instantaneous starts...
Mind your fingers with that lacing (Alligator clips on the belting), them points gash the ends of your fingers and thumbs for fun! Another worthwhile save Marty, well done.
"Will it start"? NEVER IN DOUBT! The only thing you've ever failed to get running was a completely rusted out submarine with no engine, so we're all cutting you some slack on that one! You are a dead set legend Marty, love watching these old "bring them back to life" videos, you're a magnificent mechanic and I've learnt so much from you!
That’s always a good laugh when start them that way.
Another one for your collection.
And the old farmer thought he'd get the young whippersnapper with the "stop it with your thumb" trick! Another one off to a good home. Off course Mrs Marty encouraged you to go get it. Highlight on RUclips this month for me; thankyou from Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
Those are the low voltage points that are "shorted out" by the thumb on that little lever...
unlike an old Briggs and Stratton from the late 50's early 60's had a lever on the cylinder head that was spring loaded to keep it off the sparkplug end...until you pushed it over with your finger to short out the plug which was under high voltage to stop the machine.
If you did it just right there were satisfying (to a kid) snappy parks until it completely touched the exposed plug lead end.
Another engine for your mill flat belt dollies wow thanks ,cheers to you and family 🎉🎉😊😊
Thank you Marty. I really enjoy your videos.
I couldn't help giggling as you drove it off home...like you need another tractor aye 😂
Now whaere are those spiders going to live? Another impressive rescue, thanks. You're a national treasure, and I can't wait until they open a museum for you and your projects.
That sound reminds me of my Mother and Father, sweet and happy
Marty is a magician. This tractor works a treat!
"Will it start?" we know you better than that now Marty haha
Good to see another old clunker up and running again.
Cheers Marty - great to hear the little Allis burst into life. I gather that these tractors were designed to be used in the remote parts of the US and so had to be simple and able to be repaired by farmhands since garages were few and far between.
I love the old tool box with the requisite coil of international standard bailing wire!
Dear Marty T.
👍👌👏 Oh WOW, another really old tractor saved. Congratulations! 🎉 I guess that Misses T. has long given up trying to stop you collecting or even counting your big toys!? 😁 ;-) I can hardly wait to see this fine little Allis Chalmers at work, especially with it's table saw attachment. After your always well done maintenance is done of course.
Thanks a lot for making teaching explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards luck and especially health to all involved people.
Great to hear that engine come to life! Well done, Marty T.
Marty’s motors strikes again!!! Excellent mate… 👍
The pully belt repair kit was a rare find. Hard to find in the USA, unless you know where to look. My uncle had several belts; used them to start the tractor that had the “Buzz Saw” attached to it. A lot of work to cut wood to stay warm in Michigan winters.
