I typed the whole story of this tractor but my silly computer refreshed the page. lol So ill have to make this short. I’m 14 and love working on tractors (got a lot of tractors and implements but only one Allis so far but this is the Allis forum so I don’t suppose anyone cares to hear about them) with my grandpa. This little tractor pretty much got us interested in collecting (though I had always been. We now have 5 more tractors than then) we got real lucky by getting this one because it would not have lasted another day. Way too good of a tractor for 500 if you ask me. Well since we got the Allis it pretty much has sat by the farmall M until a couple months ago when we built our tractor shed. A couple weeks ago I began taking the little Allis apart and cleaning stuff up. Runs pretty good just needs a couple seals and such and should be getting some paint mixed soon. Tired once but the guy did have references for the code or something so I’m going to have to bring him the oil pan which has some paint that looks pretty good yet.
Few quick questions before I get to the pictures. 1. How do I get the steering wheel off the shaft? Nothing for a puller to grab. 2. Where should I get seals and such for the PTO and belt pulley? Thanks!

| Good to see you finally got your post out. Did you find out anything about getting the torch to it yet? Didn't know if you still had an issue with that or not. Heat is my guess for the steering wheel. Somebody should be able to help with the seals. |

Are the spokes on that steering wheel coated like the rest of the Steering wheel? If so and if it is in good shape, I wouldn't put heat to it. Why do you need the wheel off? Maybe you could remove the clamp from the support, remove the toolbox and get the thing apart from the bottom up. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

Reese,
Yep i finally got around to it. Great site.
R.W,
Ok neat. This site sure looks great!
BobHnwO,
Well farmers and their tractor modifications. lol. Although i can't say i have't modified a few things on the work tractors.
CTuckerNWIL,
the wheel had some coating on the spokes but it was about to fall off and sure enough it did when i was messing with taking it apart. I need to get me a new wheel on there and I need to put a bushing in there too.

You should be able to get seals from advertisers on this site or from Motion Industries or any bearing supply company. ------------- http://www.ae-ta.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.ae-ta.com Lena 1935 WC12xxx, Willie 1951 CA6xx Dad bought new, 1954WD45 PS, 1960 D17 NF |

| When I took the steering wheel off of my B (it still had some original orange paint on it, so I took it off so it wouldn't get messed up), I was able to put a small puller on it. Take the castlenut off & put a smaller nut on the threads so you have something to put the puller on & won't screw up the threads. I was able to put the puller arms on the small hub of the steeringwheel. Spray a little penetrating oil on & good luck! |
