    how do I get the old axle oil seal out of my AC model B for replacement?

    I have the manuals, but just like your pictures shows. The old oil seal looks to have been installed backwards. I finally got the old one out today. Two days work. Hardest seal I have ever had to remove. I tried all the methods you guys mentioned. Thanks for the suggestions. I tried my...

    how do I get the old axle oil seal out of my AC model B for replacement?

    My left side outer oil seal leaks badly. How do I get the old seal out? I have the wheel off, but am not having any luck prying it out. Do I have to put that whole axle stub out that goes into the bull gear?

    Allis Chalmers B oil priming after filter change

    Well after a 6-hour workday on the B, I think its solved. I removed the pump and again put it on my test setup and found now it had .002" clearance. Hmm, it had 0.001 when I rebuilt it with 2 .005" gaskets). So, when I removed the cap, I found that the 'new' vanes were standing proud of the...

    Allis Chalmers B oil priming after filter change

    I am beginning to think about the position of the vanes in the pump. The slope on the face of the vanes goes in the direction of the rotation of the pump. I put it together that way, but? Hmmm.

    Allis Chalmers B oil priming after filter change

    When I bought it, it had sat outside for a year. He had just recently put one of those caps on the top of the exhaust pipe, so I figured it had water in it. As soon as I got home, I pulled the plugs and water ran out. I spun it over and shot all the water out and then use compressed air in...

    Allis Chalmers B oil priming after filter change

    Well, it stopped working again. So, I think there is something wrong at the pump. It should not drain back like its doing without a reason, and the pump is letting flow thru it. I removed the oil pan yesterday and removed the oil sump line to the case to check for anything I could find...

    Allis Chalmers B oil priming after filter change

    Mine started working two days ago. Why? Who knows, but after changing back to 30W oil (with a 1/2 pt of STP just because) and priming four times, it finally gets pressure now at the gauge. I think it was Butch that made the comment the oil pump has two choices. There are no choices, if it...

    Allis Chalmers B oil priming after filter change

    After having the oil cooler housing off, I cannot get oil to the filter or rocker arms unless I remove the filter and pump oil into line to the pump. Every time. It works till the next time I start it and get no oil pressure. Just rebuilt the oil pump and the rest of the engine gets oil. I...

    correct serial number for a B

    I bought a 1946 B a couple of months ago. i have it torn down rebuilding it. Looking for an 8.5" clutch plate at this point, but came upon a question. My serial number on the tractor starts with a C as in C72910. That doesn't mean i actually have a C does it? I bought this B specifically...
