Allis folks, Some progress, slow.
The hood looks way better than it is. Dents dings rust pits. We will see how this turns out.

Guys, Yes some definite respiratory protection required. Haven't tried this in a confined area so may be additional work to do for air flow too. The idea/concept is to try to do some work in the winter on the CA project. Minimize the dust and or over spray getting on everything in the shop. Will advise how this works out. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

the only problem about a paint booth is the fumes and lack of fresh air..... a sucking fan on one wall and louver inlet on the other can help... Stay close to the INLET air and let the FAN pull the fumes away from you..(discharge OUTSIDE / under the garage door or thru a window ....Read the paint can and see what SOLVENTS are in it... A mask can help with the particulates, but they dont take out many FUMES... Be carefull and note what your spraying with.

I like the paint booth Chris. I could do something like that on the North end of the new shop and paint with something other than a rattle can someday, maybe?

Very nice. Ive had a similar idea for a paint booth. The battery box on my WD project has pitting as well. A combination of high build and glazing putty is what I am doing and should make a nice finish.

Allis Folks, I worked on some of the CA parts today to clean them. Also worked on a temp paint booth. We have used paint strippers on this wheel center. Also a flat disc and light sand blasting. Even with that it still has a lot of pits and rough areas. This may be a candidate for some high build primer? In its early process here.
A side project was to remove the old wheels from the sandblast cabinet and replace with some heavy duty steel units. I can now move it easily:
Wheel weight sections through the E-tank and then lightly blasted:
My temporary paint and or sanding booth. A old tarp on the floor. The 10 x 10 pop up.
And then wrapped with 4 mil translucent plastic walls:
Added 4 hanger rods for light weight painted parts in the future:
Small steps forward, on the CA project. Hope things are good in orange land! Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Chris, I sure hate to see anything other than power adjust rims on a CA, but I'd reuse them too in your situation. You don't need tread adjustment for cultivating. New rims aren't cheap!

Allis guys, I got a start on cleaning the rear rims on the CA. The tires have some cracks for sure but should be ok for pulling for a while. The plan is to paint the rims a silver color. Maybe Rustoleum rattle can silver. Not sure on the center portion of the wheel color? Maybe the off white. Then I have to paint the partials of the weights also. The weights could be off white also. I have a plan to set up a temp paint booth in the shop. Crude but should help control most of the over spray. The Comet and the 32 have covers on them.
Regards, Chris and Cheryl

tadams and tbran' The Ford barn is a lot of fun for us. Trying to keep the Fords running along with these Allis tractors too! If you cant sleep, reading some of my posts there could help.
Thanks for the hints on the pin in the pump. Of course I did not check that! :) Humm? (update) i guess I should ask more about how you check that and fix it if out of spec? Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Just a comment, we have been finding many camshaft oil pump drive pins loose in the bore. We always check on cam driven oil pumps B-G160 D15II. A loose drive pin will dump oil pressure at the back of the cam.

Allis folks, Our son Adam found a gasket on line that says its for a D10, D12 ..... It looks larger in the picture so we ordered one. We will see next week when it gets here. Here is the common paper gasket that I made. It doesn't look too bad.
Rear wheel assemblies got some attention. Disassembly, then planning to clean and paint.
These are not Allis rims as you have noted. IH style centers. and weights chopped up to match.
So if the weather is warm enough I plan to put these centers in the E-tank, and wire brush the rims. Rims have been widened in the past. The tires have some age but should work just fine for a little puller in the stock classes.
Happy New Year! Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Allis folks, So I took the CA oil pump back off. Several things to improve/ redo. First I forgot to put the gasket from block to the pump. Found the gasket in with the others in the gasket kit. Oops!
Second I took the pump back apart and cleaned the mating surfaces. I reversed the vanes in the pump. I was told this may improve the oil pressure a little. All for that, and the vanes seem very happy reversed.
Cleaned the outside cover plate. Very little wear on the plate. I suppose I could try to get those shallow grooves out of it?
Was warned that Allis may have made a small and large oil pump. Well the gasket I have does not fit well, so maybe the pump I have is a big pump? Have to measure the gasket thickness and maybe carve one out of a sheet. Unless there is a large pump gasket out there?
I did get the dial indicator to play with at some point too. Maybe use it to reset the valve clearance more accurately?
Merry Christmas to all forum members and their families! Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Guys, Thanks for the ideas and support on the CA oil pump. I mean it is the heart of the system. I am great for doing things twice, or maybe even three times! So I may pull it off and clean it up again and start over I also got some good advice from a CA expert. That's what I like about this forum. Great suggestions, and recommendations! I should ask before I act. But that's not like me. More like the bull in the China shop! Regards, Chris and Cheryl

I smeared a very, very thin coating (like Steve said) on the pumps for my WD. Yes, plural... I rebuilt the original pump and then lucked into a much nicer shape AGCO retrofitted version so I went through it too before putting it back together. I used an old school shellac after flattening the bottom plate as much as I could with glass and a sheet of sandpaper.
Disclaimer... it's not running yet, ha. You're still way farther ahead of me on this CA than I am on my WD that keeps falling to the backburner. And I have a CA project that needs to go into the shop sooner rather than later. I can't wait to see your tractor back in tip top shape!

the gasket should be as thin as possible without having the rotor drag the cover.. It might be 3-4 thousands.. You can put a straight edge across the case and measure the rotor depth with a feeler gauge.. .... if you use permatex you want a VERY THIN see thru layer on the gasket... normally you can soak the gasket in oil and Squeeze it with the cover..
a piece of construction paper or note book paper might the the right thickness.

I'd mike the paper, and then (for example) Google .010 gasket paper, get a roll and cut it out myself. They are easy enough, tape a slightly bigger piece of paper than you need to the pump, take a ball peen hammer and tap lightly around the edges, and at the bolt holes, and the paper is marked for cutting...

Hudco, Folks, Sounds like most of my projects too. After thinking on the oil pump. I need some feedback. - So the gasket is paper thin. I could try to carve out a new gasket? - I added a thin coating of sealer on the top and bottom of the gasket. After thinking ..... maybe not the correct thing to do? Would the sealer increase the gap between the end plate and the rotating vanes and decrease the oil pressure? Open to ideas. Just second guessing myself. And don't really want to take this apart after the tractor is together. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Allis folks, Friend John came over and he helps me get a little done each day on the CA project. We cleaned up the oil pump parts and assembled it and mounted it on the back of the block. the gasket for the oil pump did not fit well. An Agco made in USA item but its not really close. Had to open two of the small holes in the gasket to allow screws to enter.
John cleaned up the oil filter die casting. i sanded the base flat. and we mounted it and the gasket to the block.
Trying to decide how much to put together prior to prime and paint?
Regards, Chris and Cheryl

ACinSC, folks, It just started snowing here again. I ordered a dial indicator and base. A tool that you don't use every day but it would have helped to know when the valves were opening and or closing, as we adjusted the rocker arm clearance. We just eyeballed the valve movement or closure. We set the gap cold at .012 inch. I may go through and check the valve clearance gap again when the dial indicator comes in. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Great documentation as always Chris!
I need to quit messing with plows and got to work on a 125 myself, don't hold your breath. I guess as long as I'm tinkering in the shop that keeps me happy, actual project less important.

AC Folks, The CA project begins to move, thanks to our friend John. He helps me get things done and uses the shop for some of his projects too. I have most of the parts now it just needs to be put back together. So we installed the rocker arm assembly. Then proceeded to relearn how to initially set the valves. Oh it took the Allis manual, a computer and two old brains! We had fun but had to make a couple runs at it.
The steel formed shaft support has to be installed with the slot in the horizontal tube installed away from the valves. I accidentally got that correct.
So we move forward slowly. We used a bar in the rear bolts of the crank shaft to gently turn over the engine. Next item may be the oil pump, to be cleaned, checked, assembled, and re-installed on the back of the block. Short term goal is to get the engine assembled. Then painted and attached to the torque tube. Man I hope I can remember how these parts go together?
Regards, Chris and Cheryl

Guys, I got an nice used oil filter base from Sandy Lake Imp. We have been very busy trying to keep dug out from under the snow. About 2.5 feet in our area maybe more?? Also the F250 is in the shop with the front end torn apart. The Allis D14 wouldn't start, my fault I left the gas on. The starter just doesn't want to spin the engine over very fast. Took over night to charge the battery and still had to use a jump pack. Got dug out. Then the water system stopped functioning. I think the submersible installed in 1997 finally quit. Opened the well to find the steel pipe in the pit less adapter had rusted off. Had to fenangle a chain under the adapter and Grandson Mike pried up and released the adapter. He went to purchase all new pump, line, wire, and items for the repair.
Oh yeah I harvested a small doe during that also.
Bottom line is the CA waits! Looking forward to getting caught up and back on it! Regards, Chris and Cheryl
