I have to say you didn't do alot for my hopes of fixing up the old WC but thanks for the adivce, better to know now than latter. I know it needs motor work. It runs but the carb is in need of replacement. There is a thumb screw type valve that leeds from the gas tank to the carb and if you let it open the gas drips out of the carb at a pretty good rate. I checked and it isn't around the sedament bulb either, that would be too easy. I think the govenor needs work also because the motor wont idel. When you let it set and idel the motor reves up and idels down and then reves up again repeatedly. The problem is either the govenor or the carborator. What makes me think it is the govenor is that it doesn't respond well under a load all the time either. In general the motor could probably stand to be overhalled all together. The tires are not to bad, a couple of small cuts but they would be ok for a while. She also needs brakes, especially the right one. Most of our turns were to the right and you used that break alot, especially when plowing and mowing hay.It needs a new exaust pipe but I am not sure about the manafolds.(The way the bolts look that would be a real nightmare if I had to relpalce them.) The sheet metal isn't to bad, one fender could be pounded out with the help of a few body tools, but the other would need replaced.We bent it in when the wheel came off. There are alot of little things that would probably also need fixed once I got started. Needless to say old Allis has seen better days but there is no shame for her she served well. I am located in Western PA and if I decide not to take on the task do you know of anyone who would be interested in fixing her up. You know all the extra features she has, you have helped me figure out most of them. If you know of anyone let me know so I can keep them in mind while I try to decide what I want to do.

Thanks for all the help

The first step is going to be the hardest and that is getting dad to part with the tractor. I figured it would be easier if I knew I could get what I needed to fix it. It is great to know that if I do get started I have help. My dad wanted me to buy a John Deere, but I told him if I was going to get a tractor it had to be orange, after all, if it isn't an Allis Chalmers then its just a tractor. By the way, if you don't mind me asking and if you do don't bother to answer, what state are you in? I am in Western PA.
