What did you do with your Allis Today?

Changed wheels and tires on the front of the new to me D-15. The ones that came on it both go flat in a week or less. I like the tires but the rims not so much. Found a pair in my parts storage, 6.50X16 Firestone 4-ribs. Their the wrong color but that will get corrected in time. While changing the first one I noticed the knee was a bit loose, tightened the two nuts, good as new! Took the slop right out of the steering.

Thanks! Hopefully I get some time to tinker with it some today. Have tires to change on one of my Red ones and a CA gas tank I'm coating with por 15. Oh, it's my birthday today so I may knock off early!

Thanks guys! Couldn't get the beads to break on my tire project so that wrapped up early. I did get the por-15 coating on the CA gas tank. Started mowing the lawn, got rained out. Got enough rain to make the bottom of the gauge wet! So, decided to work on the 15's fuel gauge. Got it removed, float was seriously fuel-logged. Tracked down a different brass flat washer and fitted the new float. Works like a new one now. I may put the tank back on that CA today, who knows?

Local antique power show is coming up in about a month so, time to wash up some of the participants! The wide front 45 always goes as it is my preferred 'plow tractor'. Ca-2 got in the line-up, think this is the first time for it. Maybe I just hope it's the first time as filthy as it was. 856 wasn't that dirty but it's going to the show and I'm trying to shine it up some so it got another bath. Was kind of a combination day for me, worked on both Orange and Red machines. Finished changing tires on the H for the tractor pull this afternoon in Sully. I would really like to take the 5-16 Oliver plow and hook it on the 8 but need to change the tread spacing and only having about 4 acres to plow, no need to be a hog. There are other plow-days this fall.

Took the D17 "logging" today.  Wind took down a big 'ol poplar tree by the farm driveway, so we dragged it out with the D17 and then cut it up and most went to the burn pile. After the last load I tried to pull out the old stump with the loader and blew one of the two tilt cylinder hoses that I hadn't changed out.  Oil all over me and the tractor.  The old Nelson muffler took a hit too and got a little smokey for a while!
