    Allis b-112 gearbox

    I don't know about a b112, but just a few years ago (5 or 6) I was able to get new bevel gearbox parts for an Allis 716H from the local Simplicity dealer. There still seems to be fairly good availability for parts, at least for 49 year old Allis garden tractors. North Gower Al

    Overcharging Briggs

    I have a craftsman mower with a 20.5 hp Briggs Intek V twin that is trying to cook the battery. The battery is new and I put it on my charger before I installed it in the tractor. When the tractor is running the battery shows 16.5 volts and the ammeter shows about 5 Amps charge. The charge...

    Kohler Engine carb

    For what it's worth, the "A" means special oil pan, and the "S" means electric start. You can down load the service manual from Kohler for the K series engines, it's free. North Gower Al

    Old 8ft snowblower with cable turn for spout

    My snowblower is much smaller, but it does use a cable to rotate the chute. I tried many different ways to lubricate it, none worked really well until I tried motorcycle chain lube. It penetrates well when first applied and then sticks really well and therefore lasts for the whole winter...

    JD212 running problem

    I've just had this same problem with my snowblower tractor, an AC 716H, this machine has the Kohler K341, it turned out that my ignition coil was bad. Something came loose (there is a slight rattle if you shake the old coil just right) as I throttled up the vibration of the motor would make the...

    SCOTTS s1742

    I am in need of a wiring diagram for one of these. It is a rebranded John Deere, and they are willing to sell me a service manual, but it's a little much for just the wiring diagram. Does anybody have one they are willing to scan and post? Thanks

    is it difficult to weld stainless steel by oxyacetylene

    Stainless steel cannot have any carbon in the environment when it is red hot, oxy actelene produces lots of carbon (both carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide). The chromium in the stainless steel combines with the carbon to form chromium carbide, a black granular mess, and a usless weld inclusion.

    Alis Chalmers 716h

    I have an AC 716h, that this time of year is used for snow removal. This has been a strange winter, with some rain days, and a lot of 20 below days the first time this happened most of my controls froze and made it very hard to use the snowblower. So on the next day it was above freezing I used...

    Cracked engine block

    I have repaired a block, don't know yet how well as the rebuild is not yet finished. I have not used the parts master epoxy, but there is an error on the front of the cans that might make me wonder if there are more. 5 pounds is not 11 kilograms, but 5 kilograms is 11 pounds. North Gower Al

    Allis Chalmers 712H

    I have tried gates belts on my tractor and have only had them run for about 15 minutes. On the AC 700 series (and Simplicity 7000 series) the PTO to implement belts are really twisted. The PTO pulley for the mower deck is under the driver's left leg when sitting on the tractor and runs in the...
