    2nd tractor this year that was rebuilt and ruined by a rain cap (some people????)

    This spring I drug home an Allis C that had nearly new P/sleeves and it was ruined by believing a rain cap keeps out water. Last week I drug home a pair of C's and the one with pretty paint also suffered from the rain cap blues. No way this one is ever going to come loose, the head has new...

    How often do you buy a whole tractor just to get a part?

    I agree on your pricing. My first C was $2000 that was deliverd in working condition with an L306 mower deck-----that was almost 30 years ago. Since then I've purchased C's for $300, $150 and $250. For the most part these tractors are approx. the value of the tires/rims. My original C is...

    You're CERTAINLY a cut above. I'm just happy to keep one running. LOL

    How often do you buy a whole tractor just to get a part?

    I finally got sick of screwing around looking for a set of tires so I stumbled across these two C's for two grand ($1000 each?) The rims and tires are great and after spending the weekend doing battle with some crappy rims and tires they looked REALLY REALLY good. Allis bump style rims are kind...

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

    You probably don't have a video of it running? That's quite an interesting project. You're a good man Charlie L.

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

    I think you're on the right track---I put some Dykem on the worst offender and it shows a bit of contact in the crush zone. These old C's are the Rodney Dangerfield of tractors----No respect. I didn't get the one in Cecil Ohio and don't regret it. I've got a line on a couple more right now...

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

    Front cap is the worst, a thou or two on the other caps might not hurt. I'm not even sure about dumping a bunch of money into this engine. Just an old retired fart messing around.

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

    Block is bare no rods, I'm just using dial calipers so far I didn't drag out the mic's. The rods fit the journals nicely. I'm questioning the last rebuild somewhat, they didn't replace the cam bearings and on this particular engine the cam bearings are EXTREMELY critical to the oiling system.

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

    No, I'm curious how the pistons were removed possibly a BFH and tweaking the crank. It seems the front main cap is more of a problem than the other two. I actually ground a crank in place on my mowing C over 15 years ago. I'd bet it's so far under spec you couldn't purchase bearings for it. I...

    OEM rims vs looped rim replacements - '48 Allis 'C'

    Can't tell you about a B but I once had a C with loop rims.

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

    The manual calls for 4 shims per side. Does that mean each cap would have a total of eight shims? What is the thickness of the individual shims? I've got a mystery rebuild job with a .010" under crank and .010" under bearings with 2 shims (.002") total .004" per side on bearing caps. The crank...

    Looking at an allis B on Marketplace

    Yes it’s the one in Cecil, basically just looking for a set of mounted tires. Is there a quick way to identify the 125 cid engine without having the serial number?

    Looking at an allis B on Marketplace

    It says it's a B but I'm thinking it's a wide front C. Most B's have a wishbone type front axle, this one has what appears to be an adjustable straight axle on the front.

    Re: Update on new Stihl pole saw

    This saw has the shoulder strap----it's still helpful to unload the upper body strain (at 75 years young).

    Re: Update on new Stihl pole saw

    Thanks everyone for all the good tips. It was hot and humid today but I went ahead with the maiden voyage anyway. Didn't quite run a full tank and never had a bar pinch of any significance. In the beginning I was skeptical of C easy start feature but came to like it. A tank of gas in this saw...

    Just picked up a Stihl pole saw---looking for operator tips

    Just brought home a garage sale Stihl HT 56C pole saw they quit making them in 1994 and this one appears to be barely used. One job that I'm ALWAYS behind on is low hanging branches in lanes and around the yard and edges of the field. Normal procedure is have SWMBO drive the tractor to the work...

    Mini split heat pump????????

    The house is a 2 BR 1100 sq ft single story attached to a 2000 sq ft shop that has it's own heat and A/C. Side walls are R 36+ and one of the longer walls is adjacent to the shop so heat/cool loads are small. My thoughts regarding mini split (single head) were to leave the original system in...

    Mini split heat pump????????

    Current system is 35 years old. 60,000 BTU NG Bard forced air (90%+) furnace, the A/C A-coil is original, the original condenser was replaced about 20 years ago. I believe the condenser is an off brand 24,000 BTU and the A-coil has a restrictor orifice to reduce capacity to 18,000 BTU. About...

    Mini split heat pump????????

    Considering replacing a central A/C system with a new mini split system. I don't really want to go el cheapo and want a good warranty on a quality unit. At my age (75) I don't want to worry about repair/replace issues. Any sparkies have tips on providing surge protection for one? I have...

    Cheap eBay carbs and fuel line repair

    In the past couple months I've tried the cheapo eBay carbs on a Poulan leaf blower ($19), Echo leaf blower $12) and Ryobi hedge trimmer $15). So far they all worked except the hedge trimmer leaked like crazy where the lines penetrate the tank. In an attempt to fix it I removed the old carb...
