Lost more space in the garage

Our son Bob bought another Allis saving it from the scrap yard. It is a 1950 WD. It had been sitting in a wood lot for the last 30 yrs. . A neighbor bought it and did some work on it but lost interest. He needed some money and decided to sell it. Here are a few pictures. I'm sure he will be on later to share the story about it. Well that didn't work out to well. I will try more pictures later.

Ya ....that picture doesn't look quite right but I am trying to get the size right.

The tires are round it is just a illusion. I would like one like that!!

The joy is in the journey.

More pictures.

Well Guys it looks like I have adopted another member of the family!

The guy I bought the tractor from got it to use on his farm, but he foind out it was going to take alot of work to restore it, and he just didnt have the time. With our four months of Summer just about over, and our eight months of winter just around the corner

, he wanted to get his plow truck in the garage to work on it. he needed money, so it was to the scrap yard or try to sell it to the right person. Well, I caught wind of it from a freind, went and looked at it two days later, and now going on two weeks, it is now home. (Along with two extra rims and turf tires)

According to the guy I bought it from, it had set in the woods for over 30 years. He bought it from the old lady who owned it, and towed it home. The motor was stuck, and exhaust manifold was shot. He had scapped a bad block from a WC that had good pistons, rods and sleeves. He swapped the WC pistons and honed the cylinders. He had it running but he just ran out of time and money and intrest so to speak. When I first went to look at it, he said if he had any sentimental attachment to it, it wouldnt be for sale.

The motor is good and solid. It doesnt smoke when running. I think I have a throw out bearing going bad. Quite the growel when I let the clutch out. The hand clutch doesnt work. the tractor didnt stop when I pushed it forward while moving... not sure im doing it right... does th hand clutch only work when the PTO is engaged? Side to Side movement on the hand clutch is zero. Very solid, doesnt hit the fender. The seat mount is very solid. Hydraulics don't work. I move the lever and the hoses move a little but the rams do not. Brakes work!! The radiator has a small leak on the top, other than that, its a good solid tractor in my opinion. Only thing missing to complete this tractor is the Pto Shaft and the Snap coupler. I will post pictures as soon as i get them uploaded.

Not only do I not know what's going on, I wouldn't know what to do about it if I did...

Thanks, Bob is going to check and replace all oils and fluids this comming next week. We have to solder the radiator top left (from seat) because one of the hood bolts has rubbed a small hole in it. Where are the clutch plates for the hand clutch? I'm not up on the WDs as much as the WCs. As soon as I get our 42 WC up and running I will post a picture of all three in the yard. Hoping it will be in the next few weeks. Thanks again. Roger.
