    Any interest in old Gravely equipment in SW Indiana?

    There are a couple Gravely groups on Facebook.

    Woods belly mount mower??

    A few years ago I broke a spindle on my L306 (on Allis) and for repairs I just purchased another complete deck. At the time I purchased it I was told it fits a 600 series Ford tractor. Today I started cleaning up some of my leftover "junk" to make some space and find the mount is L306-MF ser...

    1938 Allis B radiator issue

    Did you also do the top hose? I just had one that had a minor leak at the thermostat housing bolts. A little pipe dope on the bolt and it sealed.

    What signifies a distillate engine?

    So the information plate is a factory item----I thought somebody made it to be flashy.

    What signifies a distillate engine?

    I know parts can be swapped in all sorts of ways, what would be some internal differences? This appears to be a distillate manifold on a 1943 Allis C that had the 2 bolt valve cover. The pistons are 3.250" diameter which wouldn't be right for a C?

    Two nut valve cover on a C ?

    I've always seen valve covers with 4 mounting holes but this tractor has only two mounting holes. I understand they can easily be transferred from one engine to another but it has me wondering if it's an older style. This particular engine has 2.250" diameter pistons and I'm wondering if it's...

    Autolite starter on old Allis C

    Thanks for the Brillman site. I just looked through their starter switches and didn't see one that matched. There were Autolite switches but I didn't see any that had the rocker lever. Most of the Autolites appeared to be automotive. Using the part number didn't show any results.

    Autolite starter on old Allis C

    All my tractors have had the Delco starters and parts are readily available. The previous owner did a pretty good job of mangling the threads on this one. I looked up electrical parts on this site and none were available for the Autolite. It did show a part number for the Autolite and I tried it...

    The single MOST important tool when working on an old tractor

    I keep used ATF in this one, I have another one that has clean motor oil in it. Best to start a week or two before the wrenches come out on the really nasty parts a month or two isn't a bad idea.

    B won’t start

    Would “spitting back through the carb” indicate possibly a valve stuck open?

    6V Generator with a cutout switch

    Sorry for the lack of clarity. The tractors in question are Allis C’s. I can actually read tag ( normally totally obscured in my reality) on one and it is Delco. So I need to investigate a B circuit system. Not sure you have the right guy on the JD stationary engine. I do have a JD 316 mower-...

    My sediment bowls always leak at the valve

    .........tried that many times. What do you use for packing? Frequently it's a torn o-ring and the valve portion doesn't allow easy replacement.

    My sediment bowls always leak at the valve

    After a sediment bowl search here and tons of leaks at the cork gasket, leaks at the tank threads----these are problems I rarely have. Almost ALL my sediment bowls leak at the valve/packing nut area. What's your go to solution? I've got a couple tractors that I don't really plan on keeping...
