Well, I've got another project. This time I have a CA. Bought 2 to make one. My idea on this paint job is as unusual as my C, Maggie, and B, Haney. The metal is in pretty good condition and you can still barely see the original decals. So, I'm knocking all the rust down and clear coating it. She's earned all these dents and scratches. Why not show them off. Got the engine pulled--it ran like a champ and appears to have been rebuilt recently. Sometimes you get lucky. I've cleared the fenders, battery box, and gas tank. The tank, unfortunately, was swiss cheese, so I had to use a different tank. Paint color is a bit different. Oh well. http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5526_zpshdb1sibd.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5533_zps0nqql1nu.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5536_zpsccntyyws.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5534_zps21xmfnfn.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5535_zpsontmarru.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

I would not call it a restoration since there is no actual restoring being done (no stripping, repainting, new wiring, or repairing/replacing worn items). I don't know what you would call it ... Perhaps a "preservation" or "project", but not a restoration.

I perhaps failed to mention that all the mechanicals will be replaced/restored. It's not just an odd paint job. That's why I'm tearing it down completely. Restoration is an abused term anyway. Painting an old tractor is not restoration--as many have noted on this site. ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

The true meaning of restoration is to bring something back to brand new, not just mechanically, but cosmetically (as it left the factory). Since you know it is an abused term, you should not be using it in your case.

| Hub I bought a tractor once that had been sitting in an open hay shed and the birds had pooped on the hood long enough that there was about a 2" pile in the middle of the hood. I thought about clear coating over the whole mess but one thing led to another and before long the whole tractor was all cleaned and painted. Good for you thinking "outside the box" I like it!!

Hub - I for one have enjoyed the artistic liberties you have taken with your previous builds. They are functional and fun. I followed a more traditional path when I did my CA probably because I don't have your imagination. I called mine a restoration
cause I can. Call yours whatever you want cause you can. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Hervey

Mark, Hervey, Thanks gents. If you take a risk and post stuff and pictures on the interweb, someone is bound to be offended by what you say or show. That, is not my intention. I just like showing what I've done and I really like these Allis Chalmers. I appreciate the comments AND criticism.

Sorry guys but Dseries4's comment about the definition of the word restoration is WRONG!!! Everybody has there own definition of restoring a tractor. You have to start somewhere, I have a ton of tractors "partially restored". I define restored as bringing it back from a fence row hulk. So what if it isn't painted show room quality and cant comb my hair in the paint work, frankly I think its pretty sad how someone can chew someone out because they referred to fixing up a tractor as restoring!!

Hervey, I spend more time on the tractors than the shop. However, to give you an example of my anal retentive nature, I lost a 9/16 box end wrench while working on the tractors over the weekend. Holy moly! Everything had to stop until I found that wrench. Never found it and I'm losing sleep over it! Dang! WD45Diesel57, I like your definition.

Steve, You sure don't waste any time getting into these tractors! Great documentation and work! I don't get too hung up on the restoration thing! Mainly because as good as I can do, there will be someone that does it better. And like you I really enjoy the sharing part! Maybe that's why I had to get another project tractor?:) I have been having a lot of fun watching others complete there projects too. I like the clear coat that your doing over the original condition look. Sound like a lot of the expense may be already done on the engine and clutch. Bonus!

Small victories. Fixed the floor with a washer. Powerwashed and sanded the tractor. I was able to clear some of it. I like the old beat up look. Today I tackled the hand clutch. Man, I never want to remove another one of those. I used an unorthodox approach. I cut off the splines on a B transmission main shaft. It fit perfectly into the stub shaft holding the hand clutch. I held up the final drive with a chain and supported the weight on a block of wood. I supported the base of the brake drum with some plywood shims. A few good strikes with a sledge and it popped right off. All the bearings were toast. I was wondering why it sounded so bad. The clutch is off to Rick for a rebuild. Small victories.

Made a little progress. The right final drive was a mess. I sent the hand clutch to Rick (MO) for rebuilding. While it was out, I got the final drive cleaned and refurbished. Notice that there was no inner bearing. It had rusted away long ago. Even the race was trash. Driving that race in was tough with it inside the drive. All new seals and bearings. Once I get the clutch back it will be ready for installation. Working these final drives is tough work!

| Steve, I am a couple weeks behind you, just tore my final drive apart today. The snap ring that sits between the seal and outer race next to the break housing, did you pull that out? I had to slip the race out between the bull gear that I loosened off. Can't imagine how one can get the snap ring out |

Chris, Yes. I've done it both ways. If you put the seal on first, sometimes it's difficult to get the shaft through the bearing. I usually use a block of wood on the hub flange and gently tap it home. It helps a lot if you can get the inner bearing started because it aligns the shaft properly. Otherwise, the shaft may get started crooked on the outer bearing and bind. I've also slipped the seal over the hub, then pressed the bearing on, then installed the hub in the drive. Doing this way makes driving the seal into the recess a little tricky.

| Great to see you fixing up another one!!! You won't bother me to call anything that has been fixed up mechanically restored. Now if you just sand blast paint and try to sell as restored you would never hear the end of it. But you do an amazing job going through these tractors and I love to see that. Only wish I had the time and money to go through my stuff like that. Well ok and the knowledge everytime I start something I end up with about a million new questions. |

Steve, I just happened to check on D12 values in general. Got down to page 3 or 4 and there is a Craiglist ad. I pop it open and sure enough its the D12 I was taking about. Maybe they are pretty scarce? He wants $8000 for it. Its a nice tractor. I seen it before he worked on it.

| Well it wouldn't be worth that much to me Chris. They are nice but that is alot of cash for the size. There is a d17 diesel in craigslist here probably needs alot of work but I Keep looking thinking I wish I had the cash to get it. The price is 2500 probably a really good deal but you can't spend what you don't got and I got too many other things I need to spend money on right now. If it is there is 6 months it might find its way here just not now. |

Got the tire off the rim and the wheel off the rim. I had to cut two of the eccentrics off. I did the charcoal trick that Ted showed me. I think they are all okay. As you can see, the rim is toast. At least it's beyond my skill level. I've seen others tackle this job successfully, but it's not for me. Glad I have a current tetanus shot. I'm going to order a new rim tonight. http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5582_zpshhjaiy9q.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5583_zps9capwarl.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5584_zpss43io9vv.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

Got a new rim and an old tire on it. I'm making progress. The engine was running great from this tractor, so I pulled the pan, checked tolerances, cleaned things up, new main seals (front and rear), a few straight push rods, buttoned things up and clear coated it. Rick C has finished my hand clutch and I should get it this week. I can start assembly after that. New brake shoes, new rear seals, new bearings in the final drives. I need to tackle the pump. Sorry for poor pics. I didn't take the time to photo things as I went. http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5587_zps3kko30wh.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5589_zpsnngdagdr.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

Got the my hand clutch back from Rick C tonight. Wow! It looks brand new! Thanks Rick! Fast too! New bearings and it went together in minutes without any problems. Rick also turned the drum. Nice. I should have this puppy back on the tractor and rolling again soon! http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5592_zpszsnsqaca.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5593_zpsfnqtwfsx.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5594_zpsaps5cvqe.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

Put Maggie to work today. Got the engine and bolster on Ginger. The gin pole sure made that easier. I was going to use the cherry picker, but Maggie held it right steady and it mated easily. I've been wanting a sfw tractor for a while. They look kinda goofy in person. I do like it though. I hope to get her reassembled tomorrow and driving. She's ugly on the outside, but inside she's completely gone through.

| That is neat looking with the cream front on you c. Don't think I remember seeing that one before. You do some really nice custom colors. They would stand out nice at a show. |

Just about done with the mechanical restoration of the CA Ginger. (Not a cosmetic restoration). I am pleased with this tractor. Very strong and runs beautifully! I've ordered the correct tire for the front from Miller Tire. The hand clutch from Rick C works great. Now I see why the hand clutch is so desirable. I'm waiting on a few parts from another member (battery box top, side, hands for the snap coupler). She's a keeper! http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5628_zpslazpf7d8.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5630_zpsttk0aldp.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5632_zpsqsjd31hk.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  http://s202.photobucket.com/user/cytochromeP450/media/DSCN5626_zpsxmbvxbmb.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  ------------- 1940 B "Lucy" 1941 B w/ Woods L59 "Flavia" 1942 B w/ finish mower "Dick" 1941 C w/ 3-point "Maggie" 1947 C SFW w/ L306 "Trixie" 1972 314H |

Steve, That was might fast turn around on the single front wheel tractor! You must be pretty good with a wrench! It sure looks good in its work clothes and some clear to stop the rust for a while.

"" Mark, Hervey, Thanks gents. If you take a risk and post stuff and pictures on the interweb, someone is bound to be offended by what you say or show. That, is not my intention. I just like showing what I've done and I really like these Allis Chalmers. I appreciate the comments AND criticism. Steve "" Hey Steve,,,As always you do great lookin work Guy,,,,  What paint did you use on the spin-out wheel,,??? I like that finish,,!!It's just too bad that some folks tend to get upset bout the use of the term "Restoreation" when other owners refer to these great projects on bringing these tractors back from fence rows, woods, barns and making em "whole" again,,,,by what ever means and direction the owners want to use. To use a now very popular cliché,,,"what difference does it make,?" And honestly and truly,,,what difference DOES it make,?? The most important thing here should be to call attention to the great work all the owners are doing in bringing em "back" from their would be final resting place,,,!! Some will go "All out" and bring em back to "As good as or better than new", and some will just clean them up, replace what parts and pieces need replacing, "Call em Good",,,and put em to work. These are all personal preferences, sometimes dictated by availability of MONEY,,,and some like Ole Hubnut, want to put THEIR personal stamp on the project,,,,cause it's theirs,,, and THAT'S what is important.I think people do more harm when they call down others because of the "mis-use" of the term "restoration" AND ,,,,really Guys,,,it should be anything the owners want to use to describe "THEIR" project,,,,, ps,,,,I used the term "Rebuilding" on my Series II and now the D14 Industrial,,,,cause that's what I'm doing,,,  ,,,Ya'll give me a pair of minutes to shut down my computer 'fore the bad words start comin,,,,,,,
