Double check the bottom tank on that radiator, I bought an aftermarket and the bottom tank was about 1" thicker front to back than the Stock one. The mounting holes won't line up because the tank hits.

Looks very good. I would suggest grit blasting the rough areas and applying some good quality epoxy to smooth out any low spots.
After the epoxy has set, sand blast the entire wheel. Prime and paint. |

Yeah you're right. The tank is hitting the power steering casting. I might be able to work the tank in to clear the casting though. |

Nice project... I woke up my dads series ii D15 just this fall. Had sat in a pole barn for the last 5 or 6 years at least. Going to use it to push snow this winter, then start tearing it down this next spring. I am taking plenty of notes on what you're doing!

Simple solution might be to grind some off the casting where it hits the tank. I re-used the tanks on my original, just had it re-cored, to avoid this problem. Still cost about $450...

I got mine from Reliable Aftermarket Parts INC on E-bay. I am now fighting with them because they will not refund $60 in shipping charges, the auction says it will fit, it won't. I don't think that is my fault.(rant over)
I returned it because the hood would not fit correctly with everything stretched out to fit the bottom tank. Edited by Fourced - 08 Dec 2014 at 11:36am |

Trying to do a little bit each night. weld, grind, grind, grind... weld, grind, grind, grind...
I had pretty good penetration with the backside welds but I went ahead and welded the inner side of the rim patches. Trying to not use any filler.

Had some time off for the holidays and spent a little time sand blasting and I also dipped a rim in an electrolysis bath. It helps cut down on the sandblasting time. Hopefully I'll put some paint down soon. The first pic shows where I hammered a flat into the repaired rear rim for the schrader valve.

Robert,
Found this thread again! Sorry I have been busy. I think your coming up on a one year anniversary? Your doing a good job on your Dads tractor restoration! All your fabrication work looks good. (I like to fab things) I can say that these tractors are a lot of work. Use this forum to keep yourself motivated. Take lots of pictures and post them. Its a good break for you and helps show your progress! We are here for support! The folks on the Allis Forum really did help me a lot as I worked on the WD projects this past year too. Looks like your finding a lot of the same issues I had. The work on the rims looks very good. I also use a electrolysis tank/s. But did not have one big enough for the rear rims. So I had those blasted, then started the repairs. 6 rims to make 4:) Great that you have a sandblaster too! On that radiator fit issue. I think I would look at modifying the casting too. But before that, is there anything else that is going to be a issue? Old man Casbohm says "you change one thing and five other things may need changed"! One thing repaired/restored at a time and you will get there! That rear rim with the POR black looks awesome. I will remember that! Regards, Chris |

Hey Chris. Yeah 1year into it... Hope 2015 yields more progress! I'm gonna set the radiator issue aside until I get the tractor rolling on 4 wheels. That's true about changing one thing and creating more issues. I got a '65 Chevy truck I'm restoring wish I hadn't done so much customizing!

You do great work!

Robert,
The fresh paint looks great on the wheels and hubs! Hey I read your entire thread on your Chevy Truck restoration! Awesome! Dad had one very similar to yours. This tractor should be a piece of cake for you! Regards, Chris |

Thanks Chris.
Folks got a little more done this weekend. Instead of brushing the por15 I sprayed it. Looked okay. Put some paint on one front wheel. I have another wheel on order. Last I dipped my eccentrics into an e-bath for tonight. |

Good progress. Seems like once some new paint gets laid on, the pace picks up. Stuff starts to look new then, and generates some enthusiasm. Darrel

Blasted the eccentric fittings and pins. Some of the pins are pretty bad, but I think I'll go ahead and use them. If they break I'll replace them.
Very true. Thanks! Edited by structures - 14 Jan 2015 at 1:13pm |

Fill the pits with some epoxy, worst thing that could happen, is to have to remove them and replace them...

Robert,
I need to bring my e-tank inside. Its a solid block of ice. I could be using it. I ended up wire brushing my wheel brackets and pins. What I did on those eccentric pins that are pitted is to grind the rough areas smooth so that when rotated they don't bind. We are working on some of the same stuff:) I just got my WD rims together. Did you get new "C" snap rings? Your cream looks very good. I just tossed a front rim in the truck yesterday that needs the tire removed, blasted and the valve stem hole repaired. Looks like your ready for new rubber. Keep the pictures coming. Agreed that some fresh paint helps keep the interest level up, and can keep you going. Assuming the pocket book can keep up:) Regards, Chris |

Yeah kinda what I was thinking. Thanks.
I'm not having much luck with the e-tank at 30 deg F. The soda is not mixing well and I think the cold is slowing the process down. It definitely works, just not as well as I'm used to. I'm trying to keep up with your progress, you got 2 builds going on! I don't have new snap rings, but I seen your post about picking them up from the parts store.

Robert,
Check your connections, scrape the plates in the tank, and recharge the tank with some more washing soda. I have had good luck even in cold weather before. I never had very good luck doing much more than 1 piece at a time, Not sure why, maybe just surface area. Sandy Lake had new clips. Regards, Chris |

I painted some more on the wheels. Should be ready for rubber now. I did buy a new front wheel and I'm going to paint the center because the white it came with is darker than the white I have.
I also have been playing with plating. I'm putting a zinc plate on the eccentrics to help with the areas I wasn't going to paint. Turned out okay. Should provide some good protection, I think. |
