    My dad was a huge Allis-Chalmers guy. Used to run a modified 190 on the local tractor pull circuit back in the 1980s. When I was in highschool, he ripped a D12 out of a field and completely restored it to "parade" quality. I mowed my church yard with that tractor for many years, such a workhorse of a tractor. He passed away 6 years ago and I miss him working on tractors, so these videos you've done on tractors, specifically this Allis, have brought back some great memories for me!

    My dad owned a small family sawmill (now in my brothers ownership) in Scotland and he once told me of an elderly farmer he was visiting one day. He was cutting firewood and my dad offered to cut the whole pile for free for him to save him the hassle..... "No thanks Charlie" he said, "I get 2 heats out of this pile, one cutting it and one burning it!" So it seems the same humour is universal.

On the safety subject; one of my mates, [back in the 80s] did exactly what you avoided, when the fumes in a petrol tank popped, and blew rust flakes into both his eyes. No permanent damage, but he had both eyes fully bandaged, for a few days, after the hospital gave them a clean out. Lucky boy!

Neither had a magneto, so I had to change coils, but the starters work fine for a LONG time on 12 volts. I ran the CA as my lawn mower for 10 years, and never had a problem with the starter, and the WD45 has had the change for 25 years or more, but doesn't get used much anymore. As long as the tractor is tuned up good, it only takes a couple seconds on the starter to be running. I know some who have drilled a hole in the final drive pan, and brazed a fitting in for a drain.

    I love those machines for cutting firewood, they're so quiet and relaxing to use. Also a spinning wheel of death, but that just keeps you awake while doing a repetitive task.

    Great job Marty👍🏻👍🏻 I wish i had a penny for every bag of logs i cut on a (bigger) firewood bench like that😂😂 A couple of little tips which will make it so much easier on you when using it mate. Our saw had light springs which returned the 'bench' back to its rearmost position saving you from having to 'pull it back' every time and it also had a flat board coming down from the base of the bench at the correct angle so that you could use your hip sideways to operate the bench. Lastly, run your tractor rear wheels up onto some shallow angled skids to get the optimum comfortable hieght for your hip against the bench. Believe me, you will double the rate of cut with those simple alterations buddy! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

    My pops used to have an Allis Chalmers model C, had the most touchy clutch there ever was. Almost popping a wheelie when you don't want to is quite terrifying 😅. She was a good ol gal though, made plowing the garden easy and could pull and push 99% of whatever we needed it too.

    Thanks Marty ,brings back my childhood memories from the 60s .My father would cut up old Totara battens and posts with a saw like that ,the belt was probably 3x as long and he used Golden Syrup to stop it from slipping off the pulleys. That Totara wood would throw out the sparks something crazy out of our open fire even with a spark guard ,we used to watch our b/w tv with the smell of burning carpet . God i miss those days!!

    In the halcyon years of my youth, ( 1960's ) using a very similar type of "buzz" saw, mounted on the front of a Farmall Super M, my Grandparents heated a 14 room house and cooked year around for a half-dozen men, with just the same kind of "slashings" and "laps" that you just cut up. With that "tractor saw", a couple of men could cut 3 silage wagon loads of stove-wood before lunch.

    Takes me back to the early 1960s when my grandfather and his brother heated with wood on the farm. They had a slightly larger version on the front of a Farmall M. They put it between a wagon loaded with branches and a wagon for the cut wood so there was never any bending over.

    Be very wary of that blade. Surround it with solid shields, but also never have any body part in the plane of the blade while cutting. When I was in primary school, in the mid '60s, a classmate lost his father to a shattered saw blade. His father had been cutting wood with a tractor powered circular saw. My classmate's mother came home to the farm to hear the tractor running, long after the job was expected to have been completed. She went to investigate and found her husband dead beside the tractor. Apparently the blade shattered, and a piece penetrated his forehead. He appeared to have tried to get to the controls of the tractor to shut it off, but didn't make it. That made a big impression on me, and I have avoided being in the plane of spinning blades since.

    Gotta say I'm addicted to Marty T's videos. Don't watch any others like them with guys resurrecting old equipment just Marty T. Why is that? Fist because he explains everything he's doing with any profanity of colorful asides. Really good hands working on equipment, great feel for what he's working on. He's extremely knowledgeable regarding a broad range of trades disciplines. Very creative combining different pieces of equipment to make something useful. Very practical doing what will have the greatest benefit while not getting bogged down making things perfect. Tough guy but doesn't act like it no pretense whatsoever at least on camera.

    When was quite young we'd travel to the family farm to help with harvest. My grandfather's silo feller and threshing machine were both run off the flat belt. Because of the nature of the beast you couldn't start the tractor with the very large heavy belt on the drive pulley. Grandpa would pick up that belt and get it on the spinning pulley. Crazy stuff. After WW2 my father bought a new Allis "C". He kept that tractor until into his 80s. Thanks!😊
