new toy for me

Just about need a picture posted to help

   OK, Guys, finally caught the guy at home. The only number I found on engine was on left side of engine block ( 149-22587R ). It does have a 4 speed with reverse pattern on top of trans housing. The loader had an Allis Chalmers tag with numbers TS-500 1E705AC. The backhoe has a Allis Chalmers tag also but I could not read the numbers. The engine is a 4 cylinder gasoline. The starter was mounted on centerline of engine at the back of engine and under the fuel tank. It has a generator Vs an alternator but could not tell if 6 or 12 volt.
I will attach some pics I got 2day and hopfully some of you tractor Gurus can help me ID the engine. The PO bought this at a gov auction and was told it is a D4 gasoline, but I find no mention of such on the internet. The engine had a bad piston and he dismantled it and has since lost the head, oil pan, pistons and liners,,etc. PO tells me some combines have this similar engine,,,,,??? fingers crossed,,,,,
Many thanks for any help on this.. Joe r

with a TS500 loader on it, it is most likely a D15 industrial tractor with loader and backhoe. D15 industrials should have a solid non adjustable front axle with standard non spinout wheels on the rear. Engine is a 149 cubic inch standard D15 tractor issue which parts are quite easy to come by. HTH

The TS500 loader was the loader that was made for the D15 industrial, the I 400 had a different smaller loader.

I don't know how to post pictures

Same loader used on a 615 also? 

    OK,, a D15,??. Now, how do I go about ID'ing the year in order to start trying to locate a used engine somewhere? According to the PO, the engine just needed a piston and he pulled all the pistons/ liners then decided not to mess with it. Now, He cannot find any of the parts so I will have to buy an engine for parts to reassemble this one or R&R complete engine.
    He did tell me that some other farm equipment used the same engine such as combines,,,,?? Any body got a clue? any pics of yours,??
Anybody got a clue of the "designation" of this particular engine? I did read elsewhere that the # on this engine block 149-22587R designates it a 149 cubic inch block,,?? Thanks for any help.

Hey DIYDave,, thanks for the comeback, I appreciate your input.
What do you mean by power units?
How do I go about determining the year of this tractor? When I start asking around, Does "D15 or 149" tell the sellers what I'm looking for?
Do all D15's have same bolt pattern on bellhousing? D10's, D14's?
Sorry bout so many questions but I'm a learner.

If my dad or grandpa ever seen me take a allis Chalmers tractor apart especially something like a engine!!!!!
And leave it uncovered in the elements he would have wooped me good
Can't believe some people and even worse he lost the parts he took off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is the deal?
Some people should not be aloud to touch tractors
A replacement engine could be pricey tell him 500 as is
Being you are having to find a complete parts engine.
I like the loader on the old girl looks pretty tough
I seen it had spin out rims as well I also assumed they were fixed non adjustable kind of odd
Wonder how much of the parts in her are good yet?
How long has it been sitting?

    WOW,,,thanks for all the replies, Guys!!
Actually I am goin up this weekend to get the tractor as I had to wait for my friend to get his trailer back from another "borrow Job". My 18 footer was 1" not wide enough.
    JohnCo, I will check out that location you gave me for the SN. I had crawled all over that thing looking for a number, but must have just missed it.
    AllisManamp, that was my concern on "how" does one lose important engine parts. Parts missing are pistons, liners, oil pan, cylinder head, intake/exhaust manifolds and carb. At least he didn't take the crankshaft out!! Fact is, I just had a thought,,,since this is at a wrecking yard, and old cars and trucks all around it,,,,maybe, just maybe the parts are in some of those other vehicles?? You think? Naw,, my luck doesn't run that good. The Backhoe and loader pivot joints look to be very snug with no visible oil leaks on any of the hose joints except for an oil leak at the main pump area. This tractor belonged to a government agency and I doubt it got much use from looks of the pivot joints, and both buckets.
    DiyDave, OK, so now I know maybe what and where to look for a possible donor for an engine. I sure would like to see a pic of a complete D15 engine with the head and manifolds so I know what to look for. I find some Allis Chalmers engines on Ebay but nothing listed as D15 or D14.
    Anybody,,???

Not that I claim to be an expert but it's missing so many parts, head, carb etc. With the head gone for who knows how long, that motor is likely screwed..IMO you'd be better off buying a complete unit.
You could be into so much money to repair you'd get a new machine for cheaper.

Does anybody here know how to do a search on Craigs list that lists all ads by state? I was going to start with Texas, and then Co, Ok, etc. but so many different cities, or maybe even countrywide then narrow down to states? it would take a while to do by every city listed. Thanks

google craigslist tempest search (someone told me how, but I never followed up, that should get you to the hows and whats)
