Sharing a barn with my equipment is the farm owner's Allis Chalmers B, which was restored to some degree many years ago.
Basically needs a good bath, and then I'd like to run it. But the rear tire went flat, no one noticed it, and it damaged the sidewall.
Hope it still holds air, the tractor is basically an ornament and won't get used hard ever. Neat tractor, though I've never manually started a tractor before.
I think I've figured out most of the controls by just looking at them and thinking things through. Not sure of the choke yet.
And think I might just drain all the gas out as best I can before doing anything else and put fresh in. And some carb cleaner.
The owner of this delightful old tractor knows how to run it, just getting older and not up to climbing aboard any more.
I was hoping to work on it over the winter and fire it up in the Spring. Unfortunately the shed is open in the front, so unlikely I'm going to have much heat.
I love the way the old oil filter was painted over. Likely time that filter got changed, and any others too.
I've done this sort of thing before, but have zero experience with this tractor. Might like to get new cutters for the sickle also. Interesting that Japan is stamped on part of the blade assembly.
Lot of moving parts for sure. Open to all advice and appreciate it. Drew
