Nice looking ACs. I almost bought a WC from a neighbor about 7 years ago. Shoulda done it. Too late now.

Thank you. There are plenty more out there. These were a few hundred each. I'm out cost, $10 in filters and $12 in ATF right now.

Moved to parts tractor to do a little work. Really glad I pull valve covers and check top end on long sitting engines. I would have a pile of pretzeled parts. Have one stubborn valve on number 2. Cleaned pile of sludge from gas bowl. Fuel was shut off so maybe carb won't look like garbage (really doubt it though). I will probably rinse tank. Will pull plugs and fill cylinders with ATF. Top end received a cocktail of oils. Oil bath air cleaner was a sludge pit. My three year old was really working hard to help and I enjoyed every minute. My chief goat mechanic was also lending help. I get a kick out of the plug wires on this tractor.

Love those old ACs. They have a bunch of old Allis Chalmers promotional videos on youtube that are fune to watch. Truly an iconic american company. My goal is to eventually restore an old AC All-Crop combine. Not because I need one but because it was the best combine ever created by man in my opinion.

It's the only way to fly. Although I have heard ATF and acetone mix is a tough competitor.

Those are very neat videos! Not familiar with an all crop I'll need to look that up.
