| Hello, i just recently joined the forum, and so far have found lots of useful info. im currently restoring a 1951 allis chalmers WD with my sons for the last year. we are in the middle of re assembling, and my pedals and hand clutch are loose like most im sure are from years of hard use. i know they can be sleeved, but in my area, we no longer have any machine shops within driving distance. i seen posts from a few years ago about a few members selling new pedals with new sleeves already installed. does anyone still offer that service? i have a parts tractor also, so i have 2 sets of pedals, all extemely sloppy. any help would be appreciated on this. thank you. i know ill have more questions as we re assemble, this is the first of many haha. |

Half the slop is in the worn shaft, can get a new shaft from some of the parts vendors on here. Pedals can be drilled out and bushed fairly easily if you have a drill press at home. McMaster-Carr has bronze bushings. ------------- 1951 WD #78283, 1918 Case 28x50 Thresher #76738, Case Centennial B 2x16 Plow |

Get ahold of Rltool (Ray Walker) he is the machinist who does them. He's in Michigan. VERY reasonable.. The Rltool is his handle on the forum here. ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

I wound up having my original pedals resleeved locally but i bought my replacement shaft from Ritool and it came out great. The new shaft is on the bottom, the old worn shaft is on top and my sleeved pedals are there.     |
