Allis CA

   Paul,Could you post a picture of the B/C side weights used with a longer bolt? Might help someone working on this old iron too.
Folks,
I just cleaned up the longer,  lower steering arm, the side weights, and the knobs they set on. Shot some high build primer on them maybe I can put some of that shiny PO#1 on them soon. The crude paint booth has helped reduce the over spray in the shop a lot! 
This old CA was a misfit when I bought it and hasn't gotten much better in my possession either.
I did talk with Brenda at Sandy Lake Impl. and ordered a seal for the PTO shaft. That may reduce the oil dripping from that area? Still have a pesky leak from one of the rad hose connections. Like most of the other Allis tractors we have, they all mark their territory! 
Also dropped off the IH rear wheel weights to get them cut in half. They have several saws that should make short work of those. I am going to make some brackets and sq tubing to allow our 15 lb weights to be added if needed.

Here is the short arm, key, gear and bolt. It almost fell out of there!:)

The old sandblaster helps clean these items back near original condition.

Regards,
 Chris and Cheryl

	Guys, I did get the parts painted to put the steering back together. Just like you guys said it steers much better with this long arm installed. Should make a comfortable tractor to handle. The tractor would have worked with the short arm, but it is much better with the change to the long one. A nice ride in the dark down the road was positive. Oh yes the lights work great too. May not win many pulls but will present itself well. Regards, Chris and Cheryl Edited by Sugarmaker - 02 Sep 2025 at 9:24pm

	ACinSC, Joe, Steve, folks, Thanks guys! It's about time I got this old puller running and moving again! I picked up the rear wheel weights, which were cut into pieces that now weigh about 35 lb each. I am lightly sandblasting these weights, applying Rustoleum primer and then Rustoleum cream color top coat. Will try to get the PTO seal installed in the next day or so. The plan is to take the CA, our WD45, and Grandson Nic's WD to the local Albion Fair starting next week. The show at the fair may lead into the tractor pulls later in the week too. I took some time today to clean up the WD45. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

	Guys, I did get some additional details completed on the CA. Since its a pulling tractor and we do now have weights available. Then we need systems to attach and secure them. Heaviest weight are the side engine weights at 90 lbs each. The 12 IH rear wheel weights are approx 32 ish each, bolting to the IH rims. I fabed these 4 stud extenders to add the additional 4 weights to the rims after the eight were in place. Just tacked at this point.-+ I wanted a D ring on each side to attach the tractor to the trailer. These were from Tractor Supply and were to be bolted the a trailer. I blacksmithed the attachment bracket to fit the tractor. I was so happy with Rustoleum paint today. I sprayed a second coat of the cream on these and within minutes it went to cobweb texture. So much for all the cleaning and prep! This is 1.5 sq tubing where I was mocking up a tube to hold the 200+ lbs of sq , 15 lb weights we have. These flat sq weights can be stacked on these tubes. That should work. All that playing around will get us in the 3000 lb class if desired. Or allow us to add some weight if the Great grandkids are driving the CA.

	That sucks about the second coat If you read the label, there is a window for recoating times. Within 1 hour I think or wait 48 hours. Otherwise, what you've done looks really good

	plummer.., Folks, Heck of a concept reading the lable! Well I accepted the crinkle paint texture on the weights. New seal in place for the PTO: old seal tapped out with a large socket First day in bibs Hanging out: Weights added. The extensions worked well to secure the outer weights. Engine -2 side weights. These are awkward to install. That 180 lb on the front should keep the front on the ground?? Cleaned and added an exhaust flapper rain cap. Sand blasted several of the 15 lb weights for the back of of the CA. Regards, Chris and Cheryl Edited by Sugarmaker - 5 hours 26 minutes ago at 1:06am
