I am about to send my 20# to the scrapper or donate for a boat anchor. Have had one the better part of forty years and just about to the Done Moment!!!

well im a young buck yet (39) so can still swing a bit.   I will tell you it wasnt much fun though!

Gang,

It has been a stinkin hot summer which while I do love the heat, I can no longer work outside in it like a dog. Finally got the machine home and its getting back to seasonal temps tomorrow. Does anyone have a parts book of the front idler pages they could send to me? I figure I will order the bearings and have them on hand for when the guy is here to press the pin. If it comes apart easy will just make him wait while I change out the bearings and he can press it back together instead of a second trip. That of course if it is easy to do once apart!

Krusty,

Cal

Thx for that link!

Also found the early parts manual here:


Seems to be the 3720/3780 Timken and I cant match a seal so will go with the equivalent seal dimensions as with the Timken unless someone knows the specific width of the Allis equivalent!

I know I am not supposed to mess up the spring assembly for the seal but I wonder if it is even required anymore? The modern bearings I have access to are pre lubed and sealed as a unit already. Since I have yet to take it apart it may become obvious when it is actually apart.

Allis seals were a spring loaded boot affair, keep lube in dirt out, spring load kept pressure on running faces that oozed a bit of lube to keep lubricated enough not to gall.  No one makes a replacement.

Indeed. I am aware of the allis seals but alas, there is obvious bearing wear and I suspect the seals in there are no longer functional. I will grab the bearings I guess from the store and 2 regular seals per side and go from there at least while the guy is here.

Had to reprime the fuel system. Last time I had it running at the dude's place there was a 1/4 tank of fuel. Not sure if it leaked out or what! There was none today when I checked it. Still need to make a pin for the lift pump gear but the machine has lots of power. Keep in mind my other functional machine is a JD40C which has hardly any weight to it. iI cant imagine working on an old machine like that for 8+ hours a day.

Right side steers well but the left side wont lock up. Will look into adjustments this eve after dark with a frosty cold one in hand.

You could check your motor oil  if he is overfull by fuel  or maybe the fuel line is leaking in pan maybe full dirt

Or perhaps someone decided they needed a quarter tank of fuel...

You know, the fuel is not in the oil. There was no obvious 10 gallons of diesel underneath the machine. Anyways it is bled and am now very pleased how quick it starts. The injector pump has a slight trickle at one bolt and will get a new washer for it shortly. It does not cause me concern. The left side clutch will not disengage. I have rebuilt both sides of my JD40C and have a general idea how these work. Played with the adjustment and it just wont release. Does not even feel right. The is far too much water in there so I suspect it is rusted up.

looks to be a reprint for the clutch service manual. for any of you guys who have taken it out before does it really come out the top like that magically? Man that would be great if it did. On my old JD you have to take the final drive housing off which can be a pain. If I can just lift this clutch assembly out I can determine where it is binding and get new fiber disks if needed.  Am still very pleased with the machine so far. Also need to figure out the shift pattern Clown

Yes....I'm here to tell you....the only way you will get that out....is through the top.  But sometimes it's not quite magically getting it loose first ..to come out the top.  Your earlier posts indicate to me you might have some trouble getting it loose from the flanges.  But keep us posted.

had some spare time yesterday so I took the front idler wheel off. one side had been welded to the track frame. buddy said a front bearing was shot but the bearing is fine, its the shaft that is bent! wonder how they were able to do something like that. should be able to turn a new one in short order thankfully. will take it apart tomorrow. the track adjuster is the hydraulic type. wondering if I should take it apart and clean it and put a new seal in while it is all apart? I put grease into it and it seemed to work fine as is. maybe I have answered my own question in my mind, new seal while it is apart.

Got the idler apart and indeed the shaft is very bent. All I could imagine is that one side being welded to the track frame and the other side free. Someone must have tried to tighten the track and bent it. Am surprised more was not damaged but the bearings inside are fine. I did break one seal and think someone said they may have a replacement. The spring mechanism is fine. Will hopefully get a new shaft turned this week unless someone out here has a used one!
