We have been having some warmer days lately, like 50 to 60 deg days, and no rain. I dragged two old Allis's home around thanksgiving, and left them sit in the back lot. I got them both for $800., which was scrap price then, it's lower now. One was an old WD45, that would roll over with the hand crank, no battery, no oil pressure guage, no bolts holding the hood or radiator and grill on. being as I was getting itchie sitting around, I decided to work on the 45, being as the engine was free. After cleaning the points, changing the toggle switch, that served as an ignition switch, 2 new battery cables, putting a new kit in the carb, cleaning the gas tank, and sediment bowl, and a $100. battery, I tried firing it up today. It took a lot of spinning the starter, but finally fired up on one or two cylinders, sounded like a JD! Eventually was running pretty good on 3 cylinders, but there is at least one valve laying out, and maybe more. Now I know why the sheet metal was boltless. I guess he didn't carry thru with a valve grind, and sold the tractor. Next the head comes off, and goes to the shop. But I GOT TO HEAR IT RUN!
