Rare Twin Engine Tractor | Will It Run With Missing Piston?! | Allis Chalmers Model B | RESTORED

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Join in with the Restored Crew as they attempt to revive some life back into this rare twin engine Allis Chalmers Model B tractor. Without knowing the fate of these engines, the guys take a leap of faith and dig in and diagnose what it will take to get these ol' girls running. While working on a deadline, the team fights against locked-up parts and are forced to take some drastic measures. Will the guys be able to get either of these engines back up and running, or was this thing built for some cool yard art?

    I had a 48 AC to clear land-mow-and plow. Couldn’t get parts so the water pump dripped and the main seal leaked like a battleship!!😀The generator wouldn’t gen and the carburetor wouldn’t carb but she would run all day with no complaints!! It was a total loss magneta ignition. Charge the battery overnight!!😑 PS: I saw a video of a 283 V8 running on one bank of cylinders!!😮 (For demonstration purposes only!!) NO pistons in one side!!🤔 You guys have a LOT of patience!!👏🏻👏🏻

    @@ludicrous7044 Wow, how cool!! I had a A also. Loved that machine so much. The smell, the sound, everything about it. Well actually the one thing I didn't like is that it didn't have a 3 point. I forget what year it was but it was a hand crank with no starter so probably an earlier model than yours. The carb got plugged up on it really bad so the old man down the street who knew tractors like the back of his hand got a sock, a rubber band and an old gas tank off of a lawnmower. He took off the carb and rubber banded the sock instead then bailing wired the gas tank on top of the shroud and ran the hose to drip onto the sock. I never would have believed it if I hadn't seen it myself but it ran BETTER that way than with the crappy old carb!! We slung a blade under it halfway between front tires and back and turned it into a mini road grader. It worked amazingly well and we maintained our road and our neighbors road with it for years. Man, those were good times.

She drove it for another year before getting a better car. The thing ran good , but had a weird vibration due to an obvious balance issue, but it worked. Glad you brought this one back to life.

    IIRC, the 'James Bond' bus was an AEC RT type (which predated the Routemaster). It would probably have been built in north London for London Transport and then sold on. By contrast the Bristol Lowdekka was produced by the Bristol company, which was an 'independent' in contrast to the London Transport contractors. The Lowdekka version was produced for routes with low bridges; in some cases the aisle on the upper deck was offset to one side, stepped down from the rest of the floor. For the purpose of the film, the roof was cut off and then refitted so that the bridge would decapitate the bus in a suitably dramatic fashion. It is still not uncommon for a similar thing to happen, although not intended!

    According to Google the bus was operated by Hampshire and Dorset Motor Services. I am interested to know how easily the bus can be used on American roads - many years ago I saw a TV report that said New York City had banned them because the overhead traffic lights were too low. We have similar lights in the UK, more often on fast rural roads to give the drivers more warning, but they are high enough for double deckers to pass under.

    As an owner of a "C" version of one of these, I keep finding myself talking to the screen.. "noooo, that's not how that works" and "yes, that's the right way" Considering mine is also locked up probably worse than this one, it's fun to watch you try to free it up. I really enjoyed the post driver being used to try to get it loose. Also, from what I understand, they all crack between the cylinders. I figure mine will be when i remove the head. I plan to seal it with some goo and file it smooth and slap it back together with new sleeves and pistons. It's a 1940s farm tractor, not a super precision modern engine. It'll run well like that longer than you would ever imagine. Also, making it run on 3 out or 4? That's the exact kind of thing someone would have done back in the day because they needed it to get something done so that they could survive. Hope to see this one come back where you get that last cylinder fixed and going again.

    Don't seal the cracks, they're normal and have no effect. It's a wet-seal sleeve design, the cylinder head seals compression and passages, so that crack means nothing. Don't bang on 'em to get the pistons out, just drop the pan, remove the caps, and push the piston/sleeve assembly out through the top. If the pistons and sleeves are worn past serviceable, grind a groove down the sleeve on each side, and whack the sides of the sleeve with a hammer, they'll fall off. Clean up, unbolt, and push out the wrist pins, and buy an in-frame rebuild kit, they include pistons, rings, sleeves, and sleeve O-rings. This engine rebuilds in-chassis in under 8 hours, no machining required.

    Great find, great video! It doesn't matter if the block is cracked in between the cylinders on this one guys. As You Both can tell, the block has wet sleeves. Pull the right engine, get it sleeved, put some new pistons, rings and bearing in it and run the hell out of it. She's got lots of life left in her for show-boating...

    Good work guys!! I really enjoyed this, thanks for posting. As a possible interesting aside for what it's worth... We had an old generator that was frozen up really bad. After doing what you guys did, pounding on the cylinders until we were blue in the face and we gave up, my cousin put Marvel Mystery Oil in the cylinders and then just covered them with a tarp (which the Marvel ate up so don't do that, set the head back on it). We got back to it maybe 9 or 10 months later and it freed right up with no trouble at all. I don't know how long it would take but less than 10 months for sure. My cousin said that he had done it before and freed up a locked up engine on an old Willy's jeep in just a month.

    Good job guys (and gal)! Only thing I would have done differently is yank the head off quicker and break the piston once I found it was that stuck. That engine has sleeves for the cylinders so those cracks may not be a problem.

    Yeah, the cracks are irrelevant. Easier way (than wanging away with hammers), is just to push the piston and cylinder sleeve assembly up and out of the block, then warm the outside of the sleeve, wire brush the sleeve clean, drop it in a big ziplock bag half-full of oil (force the air out), drop it in ultrasonic cleaner for an hour, then lift it out, warm the sleeve a little, and push it out with an arbor press. In-chassis rebuild kits for the Allis B aren't expensive, one can drop in new sleeves, pistons, etc., in about an hour and have factory original tolerances with no fancy machine work.

    21:00 If you can start the left one then it should be able to turn the right one over. 39:20 By the it drags the right wheel, the right donk powers the right wheel and the left powers the left and the diff equalises the two. 57:55 This is you drop the block in the old electrolysis bath! 1:21:54 Fill those bores with jungle juice and knock off for the day. End, Perseverance wins the day.

    The best thing is hearing you praise God! He gets the glory! That is a pretty neat outfit, reminds me of the late Harry Lee up here in Indiana would somehow bolt 3 Farmall F20s together. Not sure where all his collection went. It's typical to find Allis tractor blocks cracked between the cylinders. As long as you get a good seal between the sleeve, head gasket, and head, it works fine in most cases. I bought a '36 Allis WC with a 2 row mounted corn picker on it out of a salvage yard about 2000, 2001 or so for 850$. It had a miss, so I pulled the head and had it redone, two cylinders had a crack between them. It has ran like a top ever since. I took it to shows and picked corn with it!

    We collected over 600 antique tractors, as old as 1907 models, and freed up seized engines on hundreds of them since the 1960's. Hammering on a piston at TDC is only going to bend rods, even on a free turning motor. Also, hammering on a piston that is really seized almost always cracks piston ring lands (even with the rod removed). What ALWAYS works is: - Pull plugs/injectors (gas/diesel or kerosene) - stuck out any water - fill cylinders with a mix of ATF/diesel or a stronger rust busting chemical if you want it to free up faster - let it sit for potentially months, topping up ATF/diesel and regularly checking if it will turn using a 18" to 30" bar (no more unless it is a huge Minneapolis-Moline or similar). Eventually it will free up and we managed to get hundreds of engines freed up and running. Compression is often down by up to ~30% on one of two cylinders, especially initially, and they often burn oil or sometimes are found to have cracked blocks (almost always due to past freezing with water in coolant), but they always ran well enough to drive around a fairground show and well enough to do demo light field work. Also if we did decide to eventually rebuild an engine, having straight rods makes the job much easier. Watching you guys hammering away and trying to force a seized motor to turn was painful. I'm sure that motor could have been freed up and run without bending any rods nor destroying any pistons if you just took your time and did it right.

    These were originally 6v, Pos. ground. This looks like it was converted to 12v, Neg. ground. I spins so fast because people generally just use the 6v starter without changing it which works fine as long as the engine doesn't need a lot of cranking to start.

    It's a series-wound, not shunt-wound starter. This means that as the motor's armature speed increases, it's alternating frequency increases, and inductive reactance rises, limiting current. AC Delco starters for heavy duty trucks and equipment would do 6, 8,12, and 24 volts, and most of the time, they used the same windings, same brush clocking, etc., for all of them. The biggest difference, is the impact of the helical bendix as it jumps into the ring gear. Any starter will burn up if cranked too long, they're not designed for anything other than very short intermittant duty... but fortunately, these engines were designed and intended to start easily by hand. My B's hand-start on three half-turns. IF the engine doesn't, there's something else wrong.

    They did. Side-by-siding an Allis B isn't a practical way of getting more power, as the ground-engaging horsepower here is not significantly higher- tractive effort is limited by tire diameter and applied weight on drive wheels. doing a secondary PTO concept doesn't help any, either. Farmers that needed more, would go to the next platform up- the WC (through '52) or the WD (53-'57)

I was pleasantly surprised to find out you guys are in Bogata, Texas - a place I visited many times early in my working career back in the 1980s. It’s a nice little town and I have many fond memories and made a few friends along the way. Your Siamese Allis Chalmers is quite a head turner but it isn’t the first time I’ve seen something like it. I saw a two Farmall tractors put together on an episode of Classic Tractor Fever. The guy that owned it did all the work himself and it was quite impressive engineering.

    I'm from Laporte , Indiana and years ago Allis-Chalmers was by far the biggest employer in the area. They closed in 1980 and just one factory building remains in use, all the rest has been razed . We used to know what time it was by hearing their giant steam whistle that would mark shift changes and lunch breaks. They were trying to save the giant smokestack from the plant but I think it was too unstable and it's gone now. The predecessor of Allis-Chalmers was the A. C. Rumely Company . You can still see old AC Rumely Oil Pull tractors out there.

    I know this thing is just a novelty but a neat thing that it would allow in normal operation is a “live” PTO. Normally on a B the PTO is not live meaning when you press the clutch in the PTO and wheels both stop. But in this case you could have one engine run the PTO and one run the movement of the tractor for applications like brush hogging or square bailing. Kinda neat!
