    Cheap tires

    New tires for an Allis B cost as much, or more, than a running Allis B.

    Cutting wire covered propane hose

    Wrap a couple rounds of making tape around it then cut it with thin angle grinder, tape helps keep the wires from fraying Ang unwrapping. Be sure to clean ends and blow out hose afterwards. Look at braided steel hose tutorials on YouTube.

    Rhythmic bumps while moving

    All lugs and rim fasteners to torque. It is there left/ right turning as well as straight. The frequency is faster than wheel rotating speed, if it was a truck I would be thinking driveshaft or pinion. I’ll have to look at a diagram, if brakes are on a bull pinion that could be an option...

    Allis C main bearing cap shims and I & T Shop Manual

    The stock pack is designed to have shims removed as the bearings wear. If the crank is binding it needs shims added. Check that the bearings will still have enough crush to prevent spinning. Best bet is to mic the crank and check for flatness across the journal. Is the problem only on one...

    Old batteries

    2017 Silverado still on original battery. Only has 40k on it so not that many cycles. I try to drive it on a good trip once a month to keep the brakes from rusting and freezing up - again ( did it at 5 years and 28k miles!).

    Rhythmic bumps while moving

    Tires are beet juice loaded but only going 2-3 mph. Certain it’s not in 4wd. I will see if it is still there in 4wd. Good suggestions and I will do more analysis when I get it out again.

    Rhythmic bumps while moving

    Frequency seems higher than a flat spot would be. But a couple of good things to look at. Please, please don’t let it be a rear axle bearing….

    Rhythmic bumps while moving

    2023 L4060 200 hrs hydrostatic 4wd w/loader. Recently developed a ‘rhythmic bump’ while driving. At first I thought it was the normal tire vibration you get with R4’s on pavement. It has been dry here and the clay is like brick. We got some rain, the soil is softer, and I still am getting it...

    New Allis Chalmers B owner

    So the front of the tires point in (toe in) with the tie rods turned all the way in the drag link (the curved bar connecting the two sides)? Did you run out of threads on the rod ends or the drag link? if there is thread showing on the rods, pull them out and cut some off. If there are no...

    9General purpose grease

    i use red-n-tacky primarily for the anti-washout properties. A lot of 'wet' operation in my clay slick, and most of the tools live outdoors.

    Small acreage profitability?

    We made $1200 off a 200x50 garden, but a lot of work!

    I'm ready for the high wind.

    We put in a whole house after the 2nd basement flood, bad knees making hauling from the sump a nightmare. Backup gennie, backup battery sump pump, and now we can go on vacation and just not worry. We get to 6 before it fires up, change the oil and clean the spiders out of the enclosure every...

    Poor Design (not tractor)

    As a 35+ year veteran of automotive engineering, I can state that we take service-ability seriously. Take the headlight change. There is a an access plug in the wheel well. Crank the steering to the side, turn the plug, reach up, and twist out the bulb. Same thing on my Equinox. Why are...

    Gotta love living in the rust belt!

    2017 truck with 34000 miles getting all new brakes due to 'lot rot', dirt road, and winter salt. All 4 rotors and pads toasted.
