    Allis Chalmers D17 - Fuel Tank Studs

    Anyone happen to know what size and thread the two nuts would be to secure the fuel tank using the pre-installed studs on the bottom of the fuel tank? It is only held by the straps currently and I would like to pickup the correct nuts to secure using the studs also. Without removing the tank...

    D17 Generator to Alternator Conversion

    Good Afternoon - we could use some help. We purchased a one wire mini alternator that bolted up to the existing generator mounts on our D17 Series 3. What are the steps to wire this alternator properly? Should it go directly to the battery or to the ammeter? Currently the tractor is positive...

    D17 Rocker Arm Oil Tube

    We are restoring a D17 Allis Chalmers Series 3. Thanks to this site we now have it running after it sat locked up in a barn for 7 years. While adjusting the valves last week we noticed the small oil tube that comes up and curves into the top of the rocker arm (I don't know the official name) is...

    D17 Valve Tappet Gap

    Thank you so much for such a detailed reply. My son is restoring this tractor for his FFA project. We are not mechanics but are learning as we go. I was able to print your reply and he set the tappet gaps this morning. He went from a tractor that had very little compression to having good...

    Ok, we did the compression test today. We have zero, sixty, thirty, and zero. What would your next step be? Should we check anything further or start shopping for rebuild kit? Thank you!

    D17

    Thanks for your message. We followed your suggestion and the tractor did hit when fuel sprayed into the plug holes. We thought we had good fuel flow. Pulled the carb and held a canning jar to measure fuel flow. It was much slower than we expected. Pulled the tank. The glass separator where...

    He did pull the valve cover and the head. The valves looked good and none appeared to be stuck.

    D17

    My son bought a series 3 D17 gas burner to restore as an FFA project. When he got it it was locked up from sitting for 5 years. The owner said it ran well before being parked. Being a family friend I trust that is the truth. He followed the instructions on here to soak the pistons and break...
