Allis Chalmers WD restore

That is where a belt pulley would go for powering feed mills, thrashing machines, saw mills. I like any tractor that has one and I also added it to dads WD45 when I restored it.

I believe the weight of oil that is supposed to go in the steering gear area is something like 160 weight or about like pancake batter but don't quote me. Some will just pack it with grease as the old seals don't hold the thinner stuff in very well.

Hope this helps.

Welcome to the best tractor forum out there !!   Family tractors are special, good for you making the effort to fix this one up.  In my opinion I would look for old family photos to see if there ever was a pulley on your tractor in an attempt to keep it as close to original as possible. I also suggest getting a good service manual and a parts book as they will be of great help to you, Gerald (on this forum) has them to download unto your computer I think.   Keep us posted as to your progress.

I have a pulley on my WD, we had a WC with one put had to remove it for corn cultivator so just left it out after the WD showed up.

I have serial # questions I. e. WD 200017 is what year? And engine WD213468GA is what year. It gets a tad confusing. Thanks

I put a belt pulley on mine, so I could run a Letz burr mill...  I'll probably move it to the WC when I get her done... I don't grind often, but when I do, I prefer to use the best!

According to the engine serial number info posted on here about 15 years ago,

I wound up with a WD with a WD-45 crank, dish pistons and a marvel schebler TSX871 carb in a wide ( 4 bolt front) WD-45 frame,Jackpot!

Great looking WD and a family one to boot! What are your plans for it? I have a 45 apart and it is a project!

Thanks for all the reply's. The I am trying now to grind off the old paint and wash off all the crud and grease from the hydraulic system leaking over years and years. About to remove the back hydraulic arms and hoses. Starting to get tedious, but I know the end result will be AMAZING! Here are some pictures from yesterday. I have some parts on their way. New manifold and studs. New Radiator, New WD decals. (not WD-45 which is on there). New Allis Chalmers paint. New gaskets all the way around and New belt! 

Need to figure out if I can reuse the Carburetor and the old 6v Generator. :)

Measure the cylinder sleeves. Are they 4 inch?? or 4 1/8" ??

Thanks for sharing the progress pictures! Yep sure looks like a WD! Could still have a WD45 crank in there!:) Check your stroke. 4 inches = WD, 4.5 inches = WD45!

For all who were wondering, I just checked and 4 inch cylinders! I removed the head lights today, the housing that holds wiring and the starter. 

Anybody know where I would get a new or rebuilt like new 6v Generator? Not sure if mine is bad yet, (it did run a year ago just fine, but has been sitting since). Just in case it is ruined/bad, I will need a new one. I have seen A LOT of people convert to a 12v, but would like to keep it as original as possible. :)

what are those brackets on the front end?? I have a WD that came with the exact same brackets mounted on it, I thought they were homemade! Curious on what mounted on them!

If your generator was OK a year ago, it's probably still good.  If you want it serviced to make sure, send it over to Steve at B & B.  He's usually on here and is a sponsor.
