    If it weren't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all

    New stuff can have problems as well. My son is an engine service rep for Cummins engines. He mainly does work on heavy equipment, large engines on generators and natural gas compressors. On the weekend he got called out to a farm. Apparently a farmer had bought a new $267,000 FWD tractor in the...

    tracmaster 85 diesel in hydraulic fluid

    aktom, In addition to the Trackmaster, LMC Corp. also made the Packmaster used by the ski industry for grooming ski slopes. I am not familiar with the Trackmaster machines but I expect that they share many common components. The Packmasters were a very common machine in the ski industry and I...

    Allis Chalmers Model D Motor Grader

    Hi Santiago, The only salvage yard that I have come across that had a couple of D graders was in Winnipeg, Manitoba, CAN. He may have an adaptor plate. It is called Cambrian Equipment. The phone number is 204-667-2867. I have never had any success negotiating anything from him for a fair price...

    Where to get front mounted hyd pump D17

    I am just in the process of adapting the hydraulic pump on my Model D grader (same engine as D17) to drive off the crankshaft pulley. It was belt driven and due to wear on the sheave grooves it was hard to keep the belts from slipping. The pulley actually has three threaded holes who's primary...

    LMC Trackmaster 85

    I realized after reading jojon's comments that the units designed for ski area use were given the designation 'Packmaster'. I don't know how much commonality there may be between the Trackmaster and Packmaster machines but I am certain that there there must be a number of Packmasters still in...

    LMC Trackmaster 85

    This is a name that is very familiar to me. I am a downhill skier and I have also had some involvement with design, construction and operation of ski resorts. The LMC built by Logan Manufacturing Corporation took over the manufacture of low ground pressure tracked vehicles from Thicol (sp?)...

    Model D, D17 engine speed very high or off why

    I have had similar poblems with my D Grader but it does not seem as severe as your's. I was able to improve on the problem by puting a slight bend in the linkage between the carb and the govenor arm. I agree that you should take the front cover off your govenor and check the weights. If a weight...

    Allis Chalmers M crawler

    If you don't find answers on this site there are other AC sites that may have different users than on this site that may have the information you need. It does not hurt to cast around further. I visit all the sites almost daily.

    Parts for '49 AC road grader

    I had heard that MinnPar has crown and pinion sets. I also heard that they are a bit pricey. Try www.minnpar.com Also if anyone has seen a worm gear and pinion for a power circle on a parts machine I am interested in finding one so that I can convert my machine to a power circle. I can fabricate...

    H3 allis followup ?

    You could be correct about no torque converter. It was about 30 years ago and I had also run a JD crawler and Case loader backhoe around the same time and it seems that one of them had a torque converter. If so it was the clutch pack that exploded from excessive rpm.

    H3 allis followup ?

    I had an H3 loader/backhoe years ago and if I remember correctly the forward/reverse clutch packs are oil bath and there is also a torque converter so you do not need to use the clutch or reduce engine rpms when using the shuttle. I tended to use what I would call a 'soft hand' when I pulled the...

    Allis Chalmers D grader steering box

    I have a D grader so I am always on the lookout for doner machines and salvage yards in the event that I will need parts. A contractor near me has adapted the steering box from a Ford Bronco to his machine to give power steering. He may have a good steering box for sale. I will contact him...

    Model D Allis Chalmers Road Grader

    I have a 1960 model and it has the D17 engine. Mine came with the originl parts book and I picked up reproductions of original service and operators manuals from AC aftermarket suppliers that I found on the internet. Since they used the farm tractor engine it is easy to get engine parts from...
