Allis CA

Message Rating: Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Allis folks,The little CA project is fighting me every step of the way today. I did get several parts sandblasted. my compressor overheated and kicked off till it cooled down. 
Also prototyping an area in the shop to finally set up some work benches, tool boxes, and storage areas. This should help get some projects moving along quicker, maybe?:) So I need to build support structures for the 24 feet of new old work benchs. Also brought my old craftsman tool box from the house garage to compliment the larger craftsman box given to me by my grandson Mike. So my cost so far is about zero. I will have to buy some lumber for the legs.

Yesterday I had the sandblaster where the toolboxes were. I had to relocate the dust collector on the sandblaster to the back allow it to go back to the other side of the garage door. Just another minor job to keep moving forward. No I didn't clean the top of the tool boxes off as I moved them! It's my trademark. 

My view from the new bench, work area. I plan to wrap around the corner with another 12 feet of bench along the south wall also. Planning for just some shelving under the work surfaces too. Then I should be able to move my 4 x 7 foot work table into this corner as an island. Will this help me move along on the CA? Well its is a good diversion and much needed in the shop. Like any horizontal surface my areas get filled quickly with stuff! All kinds of stuff!

Oh yeah after ice cream with Cheryl we took a ride and looked at another CA. Yes the "Williow" CA tractor, is still sitting in the yard several miles away. Tires bad. water in the pan. Unsure if the engine is free? My guess is it's froze tight. Maybe even broken block? Anyway they are still out there. Do I need another? Not really! But the 4 great grand kids might have some fun at tractor pulls if it could be resurrected. Humm? 
Happy labor day!
Regards,
 Chris and Cheryl

	My vote: save all CAs wherever they are no matter how far gone they are, no matter how much it costs :)

	Allis team, Took the Allis CA crank to the machine shop for evaluation of the thrust. Both the old and new thrust bearing measured about the same. Thrust was about .010 over spec. So have decided to have him remove the crank gear, clean up the thrust surface on the crank and remove a little from the crank snout. Then re set the gear on the shaft bringing this dimension back to spec. A few parts: I did get the new battery charger on the E tank and half of the CA fuel tank has been in since yesterday. This charger has a timer for about 2 hours. Seems to be working OK. small moves. Tractor pull last night with the WZ. 3500 lb class had more than enough power and spun out well before the 300 foot mark. Well the clutches and governor spring worked fine. Now to find the best weight class. I think the additional weight on the rear (1000 lbs) bring it back to the 4500 lb class. It may be balanced much better?? Regards, Chris and Cheryl

	Steve, it has 'Z' code gleaner engine in it. A little more power to the wheels, which is not always a good thing. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

	Allis guys, I did get the new oil ring for the pistons. If I can get the crank back soon I could get the bottom end of the CA together. Need the head at some point too. We spent most of the week at the Albion fair about 2 miles from home. I took 3 tractors, and a neighbors. All WD series tractors. We pulled Friday on the cement. Neighbor won the 3500 lb class. Grandson Mike pulled the WZ in the 3500 but the right rear spun out way early. I pulled the 45 in 5000 lb and was smoking the clutch when it moved the boat and I spun most of the way to a full pull. More weight and I only pulled 1 inch and then 4 inches. class was won at 8 inches. We pulled on the dirt track Friday night with lots of good competitors. Non of us placed in this "farm Stock pull. Lots of pretty warm tractors! Saturday was antique pulling. I placed 4th in 4000 with the WZ. Friend Mike pulled my 45 and was second out of 19 tractors. Not too bad. Hope things are good. I would like to have the CA ready for next spring pulls. Lots to do! Regards, Chris and Cheryl

	OKAY, part of the hard steering is because your swapped in front end is from a very early “short arm” C that was used from about 1940-1942. These used a corresponding short arm on the primary steering box as well, so that they went through the same arc. Later model Cs used the same length long arm front & rear as the CA. We love pulling our Cs. Two weeks ago Dad won the 2500 lb class on his single front wheel C and took second at 3000 lbs. Dad was sitting in first by a little over a foot & I had the last hook in the class on my wide front C, and I beat him by about five feet!🤠 So we finished 1-2. We also both won first place trophies on our WCs at 3500 & 4000 lbs. We celebrated Dad’s 90th birthday 3 days later!!
