 Topic: My dead WD45 last week
Posted: 12 Jul 2010 at 4:22pm |
Last week when it was so hot I started on this 45 because it was under a shade tree. I got it from a frend that let the engine get stuck. He did put it halfway in a barn. I took the head off and one cylinder had a halfinch of rust , another just light rust and two were clean. In about four houres I had it turning over. The head had one valve seat pitted real bad, had to have it ground at a machine shop. $30. I put it back togather with a new head gasket, cleaded the carb, sedement bowl, gastank, points and sparkplugs. It starter the first try, had to readjust one valve a little. The old gas in the tank would only half of it would burn where I dumped it. It holds water, good oil presure , no leaks, and the hydrolis works.
I cant tell what all I did to this tractor because none of it would be aproved by a real mechantic.

Richard - all I want to know is what did you use to cut through the rust in the cylinders?

Hey Richard - based on the Build-a-B project, I'd say that you'd qualify as a 'real' mechanic any day!

Great job Richard. I am constantly amazed how well the engineers and designers at Allis Chalmers thought through their designs. Kinda like a timex watch, takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

I use my gratebig cutting torch. Warm it up a little and the rust will pup right off. I cleaned the carb that way also. however you have to stay away from the brass .

Richard, apparently your standards are much higher than mine when it comes to fenders. Personally, I wouldn't know what to do with fenders that have the back corners. Mine have been long since removed by tire chains.

Chris, mine haven't exactly been removed - just sorta folded in on themselves. Not sure what the tractor was used for, but both fenders and the seat were toast when I bought it.
