| In your opinion what part or parts need to be remanufacted in any Allis model tractor. We have a lot of great people ramaning items but they can't do it all. What parts should be looked at next( fenders, small items, what were you needing and couldn't find that would be worth wild remanufacturing. Thanks |

I second the B C and CA gas tanks. They are cosmetic and a functional necessity.
Even if your tractor aint a show queen it still needs a gas tank.

Internals for a D14 and D15 power steering pump. Several years ago I rebuilt the one on my D15 and AGCO did not make the gears. I was lucky that my uncle and dad ran an AC dealership and still just happen to have had some in the parts bin. They were the last ones. The only thing they didn't have was the bearing on the shaft which I was fortunately still able to get. I ended up with everything new, but I wonder how many people aren't that lucky. ------------- Think for yourself and be your own expert.

| I reproduce several of the AC parts. There are plenty that need reproducing. The problem is cost, cost, cost. It is extremely hard to reproduce a low volume item and recoup your tooling cost. I know, I have tried, it is tough. Currently making the grill guard for D15-17 and have alot tied up in tooling. These look like originals that were produced in the 60's, not an AC item but aftermarket. Just about done with the early D10-12 and series III factory grill guards.Having interest in an item helps, but having a buyer is much better. I might add also, making it as close to original helps. Sometimes an improvement was needed and I try to incorporate it into the reproduction if it doesn't detract from functionality.Money is tight, and people tend to hang on to it.HTH Tracy Martin |

Here's one for you, In the snap coupler slip scoop operators manual, there is an adjustable depth stop for the lift arms. I have never seen one except in my slip scoop book. I'd sure like to have one. It bolts under the brake covers and has a crank under the seat to fine tune the depth. ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

Allis did make the fenders and hoods from and outside source...talk to a guy that worked a toole and die place in La Crosse, WI. He said allis sent them the forms for all these sheet metal items. Told me that the front shrouds were the hardest to make. Lots of times, he said, that the front shroud would be sent back because of a flaw near the part where the front emblem goes on. Metal wouldnt form right and it would break there. When AC was close to going out of business they took all these molds and presses back. ------------- "Better By Design" |

Seems there is also a large industry now springing up in far east reproducing old motorcycle parts for British motorcycles. Seen a NOS gas tank for Matchless cycle sell for $950 and a NOS Norton tank go for $1200 , you can now buy reproductions of those tanks for $240 and $285 in chrome plated form.
Might pay for someone to see what these companies would charge to reproduce a tractor gas tank or fender. I know couple of the outfits are looking for pattern tanks to copy for other models so they can duplicate.
Unsure if there are more tractor restorers or old motorcycle restorers out there .
I just bought a front disc brake rotor for Norton for $97 , made in India, as the ones said to be NOS from England are $350 and the so called good one i bought on E-bay for $40 turned out to be a worn out piece from a scrap pile behind someones shop. ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

Is someone decides they want to stamp out Gas tanks for the B's and C's I would like to quote on the dies. It would take at least two. I would guess 150,000 each.
I would guess that you would not live long enough to get a return on your investment.
This mold was over 100,000 several years ago and it has less steel than a gas tank die would take.

Unstyled WC hood looks like it would be easy but never seen one reproduced. More complex dies like the fuel tanks probably would not pay, better to have a reman business repairing the old ones I guess. I have thought of making the cloth parts like seat covers and repro umbrellas would be neat. At the Renfro Valley show there were some old umbreallas. I also remember when plain canvas pan seat covers were available at every hardware store, nothin fancy. ------------- 1951 B, 1937 WC, 1957 D14, -- Thanks and God Bless |

I would agree, the B/C/CA gas tanks would be a good mover for sure if a good quality one can be manufactured! But then again, any fuel tank for the early model tractors would be a big hit I think. Fenders also I think would be a big hit no matter what model they would be for. There are some repro's out there for the B/C/CA's and some of the other model tractors, but the quality is a bit on the looow side. BUT, somethin' is better than nothin'.....

MB, I think it's more realistic and more cost effective for B spindles that have been rebuilt. The spindle itself is usually good, it's the upright portion that wears. If an enterprising machinist would build them up, turn them to spec, and then sell them with a "core charge" for a good rebuildable pair in return, I think they'd do pretty well.
Maybe Charlie Tucker will offer a thought here. He's got the background to know if this would make sense. ------------- "The trouble with quotes on the Internet is that you can never know if they are genuine." - Mark Twain |

| Dick L mentioned that it would take at least 2 molds to make the B/C/CA gas tanks? Where is the difference between the top and the bottom? The little indent in the CA type tank could be stamped seperately after formation. Also I don't think they have to be exact repros. Functional but yet visually correct. I believe the demand for a tank that holds gas is bigger than the demand for the few guys that will do a exact restoration. Ideally you would make a tank with B style mounting ears underneath and the CA dent in the bottom. That way they would fit almost every B/C/CA tractor and 125 power unit in existence. |

For anyone who thinks something should be or would like to see something made YOu should check into it your self just to see what it takes in time and money to do so.Then alot of ?'s would be answered right then and there ,this is why.If you put alot of money out to have something made you need a little return on your money.
,unless you have alot of money to burn for a sale on items witch, most would not pay the price to have one.Just my 2 cents . Another good reason good tractors get parted out !

Dick,
How do you put it back together? ------------- Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment. From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance. Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise. |

TIG weld.
I spot welded a locating band to hold the edges straight.

I've heard that those Norton tanks don't even hold gas (from India). I thought about getting one for my Combat to replace the original fiberglass one. What kind of Norton do you have? Mine is a '72 Commando 750 Combat that is metallic gold colored.

I would second the 5000 series. Particularly the engine parts, as these are totatly unavailable and quite a few good machines are scrapped cause rings, valves, and valve guides are not available. The rest is somewhat available from AGCO, I have gotten several parts from them for my 5015, but hte motor parts don't exist in their stock. ------------- |

| Saber saw and angle grinder. Two different tanks. One had the bottom rusted out bad and the other one was bashed in across the top. Probly a tree or someone had a real bad temper. Both were junk to smart people. But I just hada had em. |

| I am in the process of rebuilding fenders for my D-17. One thing I could use , is if someone would just make the back bracing that spot welds onto the fender. On one fender I have cut two in half to make one. It is finished all but some filler to hide the weld area. Dave. |

I have a dozen or more B/C/CA tanks with issues like dents and rust. I keep trying to talk myself into making 1 out of 2 like Mr DickLs example shows it can be done. No real need to reproduce anything but the tank bottoms in most cases.
Is there a way to cut one solid tank in two to knock out dents and tig it back together. I can see why using 2 would work better because there is no way to split the seam.
Reproduction C allis fenders would make a C allis restorers day.

| Easy, Just cut the bottom or bottoms below the seam, spot weld a band like in my picture to hold the edges flush with the inside of the top and weld below the seam. After welding make sure you use a tank liner kit while the inside is still sanded clean. That will take care of any pin holes in your weld if you happen to get any. The band around the inside gives you a thicker metal to weld which will helps with keeping from burning thru. |

Thanks Dick I see. I see. When you do it it looks easy.
I have two grown boys that are expert welders. They take jobs from everybody and anybody but me. They act like my money is no good.
I deeded both of them 7 acres to build on so it's not like they need gas money to drive down to my shop.
Now, if it was my wifes tractor that needed a gas tank they would be fightin over who gets the job.

| It may be possible that some dies, etc are stored by AGCO in a salt mine somewhere in Kansas. I do not know how you can find out. They may have been destroyed by now. |
