This is a 'what I did for' my Orange tractors type post. Bugged out of the auction after the tractors sold and headed South to look at an 880 Oliver. It's Okay, no power steering and a little high on the price. It is a diesel. They also have a 1650 gas, really kind of liked it, drives nice. Hydra-power works great. There again, little high on the price, and it's a gas. Oliver is the feature at our local show this summer and I'd like to have something to park on the hill. 1755 diesel about top of the list. Have a nice 4-14 565 semi-mount to hook to one. After talking with these nice people and since I was less than 20 miles away, called up Luke R. We had talked about a pair of wheel weights the last time I visited him and Dale. Stopped in Osky and picked up a solenoid for D 17-1, and a piece of pizza, then continued on. Was kind of a quick visit with the guys, Luke showed me some treasure he picked up at the swap meet. Really need to get back down there. Now if I can just get that D-17 to cooperate, will use it to mount the weights on the 6080, hopefully. Should add, broke down and took the starter to a shop, it now has a clean bill of health and is residing comfortably in the tractor.

February: Replaced the reverse idler gear on the One Seventy, fixed the shift fork and put a loader on it. A week of fabrication as the loader came from a Minneapolis Moline Jet Star. Just finished doing syrup with the 175 toting wood and sap collection.

Spent part of the morning plowing about a foot of Shameless "pretty" out of the farmyard and driveway!! The WD fired up right away this morning at -20C after siting idle most of the winter. Guess the "pretty" just arrived late!

There's some pictures. Picked up an old cut nail somewhere, luckily it didn't hurt anything.

Had the 6080 out yesterday doing some work on tile standpipes. Took a couple of loader buckets of dirt that Dad had put on the South side of the property. Apparently that's where he dumped ashes from the wood stove. I found more crap in that dirt! I guess around those standpipes is as good a place as any for it, try not to drive real close with the tractors or combine. |

Went to back it out of the garage, the 8 year old 6v battery finally had enough.

Finally got it to start after suffering through -30 F wind chill for two days.
The undiluted jug of antifreeze I had sitting beside it for top offs was the consistency of a half thawed slushy on Sunday. So it gets a pass for not starting in the subsubzero temps. |

Thanks! My uncle bought this one new and I inherited it when he passed. I learned to drive on this when I was 5 or 6 years old. I was running the square baler with it at age 9 since it freed up somebody bigger to load the wagon. I did the restoration with help from a buddy of mine (he's responsible for the paint). My original plan was to spend about 4 months on it. It wound up taking me just under a year and a half and the original budget suffered the same fate as the schedule. I posted some threads on here when I was doing the work. I just looked and the threads are still there but the pictures are gone.

Only Allis I have is on tracks so checked starting batteries to ensure fully charged to ensure sub zero cold snap we are entering for the next few days. Topped them up with my 24VDC charger and fully charged so one less thing to be concerned about. Thought about starting engine, but did not.

And putting one back in is just as much a PIA. I took it to a machine shop and they even struggled with it. Best of luck to you.

This 200 has refused to start today. It also sits outside. Has been plugged in since last night but the starting system apparently is not up to snuff for this. So far, all of my snow removal equipment has failed me today. Even broke a shovel. Better luck tomorrow

The 200 is sitting just outside of the shed door hooked to the generator. She is plugged in and she sits silently alone, waiting, should the power would go out during the blizzard.

Somebody on here posted about removing the bushings on a wd 45 seat. I was just as ugly for me as it was for him. Need to buy a hydraulic press

Aahh maintenance. That looks more enjoyable than clearing snow
Put the 200 to work blowing snow and pulling out 2 stuck cars |
