    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    That's a great story... I have used the same technique, just not on purpose! My trick was to spray the engine with a mist bottle while it was running at night or in the dark, and look for arching. Works well. I have new plugs and wires on order; expecting them tomorrow. I had my...

    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    A bit of frost around the carb right after starting. What does this mean? Wires and cap are not new, but they look good. Now that you mention it, I'll just replace them. Not sure if it's the root cause, but I made a discovery. I just pulled out the distributor completely and put it on...

    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    Heyall, posting an update. Once again, the issue is with the engine barking and seeming to run lean when off idle. Idles better than my truck. There is some good and bad... 1) I installed a points and condenser and rotor. Points are sparking bright blue, and now have lots of...

    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    Definitely a concern around here! The tractor was in the cold shop overnight, so I know it didn't take any melted snow in or anything. I haven't got the shop heat on yet, but letting it get up to operating temp at idle didn't change anything. I have a suspicion that the root cause is a...

    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    Actually, good idea. This tractor came with Champians in it... they look good, run fine, but I have read lots of recommendations not to use them.

    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    Well, I am a bit embarrassed. Somewhere on the web, I read something that said, "when you are 100% sure you have a fuel problem, then you have an electrical issue". Or something like that. I removed the carb, again, and found nothing out of the ordinary. Removed the spark plugs and...

    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    Just double checking my logic: Using the clear tube technique to measure fuel bowl height, the drain is right beside the pickup for the main jet, right? So perhaps when the engine is running, it is simply sucking the fuel away from the tube, making it look like the bowl height has dropped...

    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    Hi, There is no mesh screen in my elbow. It has been thoroughly cleaned out to confirm. The float needle does have the clip to pull it down. I thought maybe about adjusting the drop on the floats, but as DrAllis said, if it was working fine, then don't change it. Yesterday I had no...

    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    Thanks for the reply. Since I had an issue with the bowl overflowing (valve seat was slightly loose) I lowered the float height slightly to see if it would improve. Once I found the cause of the leak, I simply adjusted it back to level. I know someone has been in this carb before me, and I...

    Allis WD - MS Carb Issues

    Heyall, I posted a few weeks back when I was trying to get my new to me WD running. Since then it's undergone paint and working out gremlins. Now I am pulling out what's left of my hair due to a carb issue. I cleaned and rebuilt the Marvel Schebler carb. I was having issues with the...

    What is this part for?

    Thank you! Really appreciate it. Now I just need to decide if I need to buy a mower to go with it! Cheers

    What is this part for?

    On the old fords, we ways chain the 3 point arm to the axle to get the loader to function. Is the Allis similar? I was thinking perhaps that this assembly will lock the lift arms in position across the tongue, simar to the ford's. It's actually a very heavy piece of metal, and does not...

    What is this part for?

    Yes, I did get the whole loader. Not sure if I'll use it or not... so many old tractors around my yard. The WD will mostly be for logging and mowing. Hopefully someone recognizes this part, just because of my own curiosity. Thanks

    What is this part for?

    Heyall, Pardon my ignorance, but what is this part for? It came with my WD hanging from the rear end. The previous owner had removed all of the lift arms, rear step, etc to access the diff cover, so I ended up with a pile of parts. It seems to me like the lift arms will fit perfectly...
