Hey all, another update. The Allis tires got to roll again under her own power since last october tonight. It did run fairly well so far, except she did flutter a couple times going down the road. I had to choke it a couple times to get her to fire up again. I think it could be a little crud in the carb, or maybe some water in the tank. I did look in the tank last fall and it looked clean. Also, I noticed that I have an oil leak at the rear of the oil pan. I did replace both main oil seals, so I think its the gasket for the pan. I didn't replace that, and am kickin myself for that now. Oh well, more time to wrench on the allis, gotta love it.
 
Also, I replaced the packings in one of the hydralic rams. What is the correct procedure to bleed the air out? I read the book, but thought it wasn't very clear.
 
Anyways, heres some pics from tonight...

Sharp.  I wish I were closer to see it when it's all finished.  I couldn't get dad talked out of his air cleaner cap.  I'm sure you'll find one somewhere.

You shouldn't have to bleed the cylinders. Run the up and down a few times and they should work fine. I guess that might be harder to do without the lift arms connected.
