Hi guys, been a long time since I visited this site, as I finished my Allis project. Now I'm trying to find out what gear and rpm I use on my Yanmar YM3810 to attain 4 MPH.

Recently got my 48 Allis up and going. Initially, it ran very well with no smoke. Now, upon starting, it runs clean but when it warms up it starts blowing blue smoke at idle. Smoke disappears at half throttle. I've cleaned the oil bath filter and found a mud dauber nest. Thinking this was...

I hope I can explain my situation well enough to be understood. I have a 48 Allis B that I have recently rebuilt, (mostly parts replaced), everything except the differential, which I know nothing about. When I start forward I get a definite slap in the rearend and the same when I start in...

I've mounted my rocker arm assembly but the number four cylinder exhaust valve has not adjusted equally to the others, showing two more threads on the adjustment screw. The engine ran well initially but is sputtering intermittantly now. I have not isolated a cause for the rough running. When...

Bad ring gear on my Allis B. After splitting the tractor is it a shop job or can this be done without any special equipment?

I have a used head for a 49 Allis C that is not needed or wanted. To my knowledge, it will also fit a B of similar vintage, though you would have to verify this.

My 48 Allis has been restored. Now my final question: What type gas should be run in this old motor? 'Leaded gas negatives appear to be overstated while unleaded gas benefits appear to be understated'. This comment is taken from an article I read recently. I'd like to get some opinions from...

Restoration nearly complete. I never rebuilt the engine but did clean the sump, oil-pick up screen, replaced filter, new oil pressure gauge. I am now getting great pressure at the gauge but nothing is coming to the top. I've run it for several minutes and I fear my oil passage is blocked some...

Some time ago I read several posts about damage to 6v starters when used in a 12v system. The posts discussed damage to the fly wheel end of the starter and methods to avoid the damage. As I remember one of the solutions was to weld something to the end of the starter but I can't remember the...

I have dismantled a Fairbanks Morse Magneto for repair only to find that I have no timing mark on the fiber gear inside the cap. Any ideas other than replacement? I've watched a rebuild video a number of times without finding an answer. Could the timing marks be on the bottom side, requiring...

When I tore this motor down I thought the no. 4 hole was the back of the motor. I have since seen pictures of the number one cylinder at the front. The plug wires were badly damaged/cut/taped, etc, so I just pulled the mag and destroyed them. I should have kept everything intact, stupid me...

How about it? Can I replace my sediment bowl with an in-line filter? I've put so much money into this thing that I'm trying to get the least expensive and most effective method of putting gas into the carb. Because of restricted space I would need the smallest one I can find. Can I use a...

Reading the posts, solutions, suggestions, and opinions have given me such an education over the past several years. I've never posted a question that wasn't answered satisfactorily. I'm not telling anyone what you don't already know but just want to say this is a great forum and makes for...

Is there anyone out there that knows of a source for Allis B part numbers? Seem to be having problems getting the exact part from my preferred suppier.

I have just purchased a new radiator for my old Allis B. I was informed the top tank was full of rust and it would be more expensive to remedy the problem than buy a new one. I still have the old radiator and am wondering if I was sold a bill of goods. Is there an effective means of safely...

So I purchased two Allis Chalmers, one B, and one C, hoping to put the two together and make one. I ended up with the B and this thing has been a real money pit because of all the new parts I had to purchase. The tractor was set up for electrics originally but everything from battery case to...

About 18 months ago I bought an Allis B and a C model, hoping to put the two together and make one B model out of them. The "C" had been sitting in the open for about five years, albeit the engine was covered with hood. It was pretty much complete. The "B" had been left in the open w/o head...

About 18 months ago I bought an Allis B with intentions of restoring. This little thing had been standing for many years outside, head off, no cover, many parts missing, all wheels and tires rotted, but I just had to have it as a "project". Wow what a project it has been. Putting it back...

Trying to get my restoration of the B complete this month. I can't find any specs on the torque for the manifold. These are 5/16 bolts I believe, and max torque value is somewhere around 25. I am concerned though that the ears on the end of the manifold would be able to stand that much...

Howdy folks, I have a JD 9610 combine for which I need a picture of the complete hydraulic system. Anyone out there who can tell me where to go to get one to downloaded?

I have what I believe to be a 1949 Allis C engine that I put onto a B frame. It has an alternator and I'm not sure if it is positive or negative ground. Anyone out there have any views on this? What would the ramifications be if I reverse the set up and how will I know if it is correct...

The oil pump went out on my 1949 Allis C. Will a 1952 C model pump fit?

I'm having a shot at the restoration of a 48 Allis B. After my many mistakes and the cost of repairing them, the poor condition of the motor and my total inexperience, I find this thing has become a real money pit. Does anyone out there have knowledge of a warehouse selling quality parts at a...

Some months ago I bought a really beat up 1948 Allis Chalmers B, with restoration in mind. Several parts were missing from under the hood which has four holes. For the life of me I can't figure out what all the holes are for. I can fill three but the fourth, well it totally has me beat. Can...

I have a 1948 Allis B that I want to paint but don't know how much I need for a spray gun or how many cans of spray. I also need heat resistant for the engine. I have the machine completely torn down and will paint every part. Anyone out there have an idea of the quantities and the best place...

I took my rear wheels off my Allis B and didn't realize the left and right mounting blocks were different. The bolt shoulders are also different and I can only assume they are designed to compensate for the left handed thread. Can someone tell me which side the block with the larger bolt hole...

Good morning folks, I now have my B model COMPLETELY stripped, degreased, ready to paint and put back together. Problem being: I did not take enough pictures when I was dismantling it. Does anyone have a suggestion of the best manual/catelog out there that can give me plenty of pics and...

Hi guys, I've been working on restoring an Allis B for the past eight months. I've ruined the B block but have a C that I would like to put the rebuilt B head on. Can this be done? The B is a 1948 and the C is, I think a 1949. Serial number is rusted out so I can't get a clear picture of it...

I've seen several items on the web that recommend the use of compressed air to free a seized engine. Can anyone tell me if there is a fitting that can be purchased for such a method? And how about the down side, can there be a danger to life or limb? I would be interested in hearing from...

This morning I pulled a piston from an Allis B. It has numbers on the top rod bearing: CGB 207460. These are the only numbers I have found. There was no lower bearing. Though it isn't too important that I find out what these mean, I am just curious. I find this morning that the block is...

Okay Guys, I'm new at this so navigating this site presents a challenge. If I can't thank you after your helpful remarks, please accept my gratitude before hand. Now the problem: I am trying to restore a 1948 Allis, B model. The head has been off for years and the tractor has been exposed to...

I'm in the process of attempting a restore on a "48" Allis B? I read somewhere 140 weight above 32f but that seems pretty stiff to run a hydraulic ram. I'm really new to tractor maintenance and any advise would be appreciated.

Restoring an Allis "B". Anyone know where I can get a couple used 4.00X15, 5 hole, front wheels? In addition I would appreciate finding a source or sources for engine parts for same.
