One of the things I like the most about you two, is how well you get along as father and son!!

Wonderful to see such a clean workshop and correct cutting fluids. I worked for castrol in Australia for 25 years and I am always dismayed at the number of workshops that are cluttered and use no metalworking fluids. Their tool life must be appealing

Was talking to my dad about your channel and come to find out, in the early 2000s your dad did the machine work on a big block for us, glad to see the business still rocking!

Man there is nothing more soothing to my OCD than an accurate and competent machinist. I could watch precision work being done to correct imperfections all day long. I love this, and you guys have something special there!!!

ALWAYS a good day when your freshly assembled engine turns over on the first turn of the key and you don’t hear noises. That tractor looked eager to get back to work when it sat up a bit when the attachments dug in. Great work and video. 👍

Superb workmanship from a great father and son (mom too!) team. The difference between industrial engines and even the very best automotive engines is eye popping. The robust engineering and construction of industrial engines assure long life and reliable operation under the most demanding conditions. Furthermore, multiple rebuilds are not only possible but probably economic as well. Thank you for an excellent video.

When you do all the work to the motor, you know that it's ready to work for a long time. Spending more doesn't gaurantee getting more! Great video, really like seeing these old birds freshened up and ready for more decades in the field.

I really enjoy the father’s humble, funny knowledgeable personality. I’m 57. Grew up on a cattle and sheep ranch near a little town called Piñon NM. Left in 85. Joined the Navy, was an airline captain and instructor…. Developed a neurological movement disorder and can no longer fly.. so I started a construction company building homes in N Ohio. I said all that to say this. From 75-85 I helped my dad rebuild engines, brakes.. pretty much all things mechanical. I use to love going to the machine shops to get the engine blocks, heads, crank etc ready for us to re assemble. If I had life to do again, I’d get an engineering / business degree instead of aviation / business. I’d find a shop like yours and work to learn as much as possible. Then… dream of owning my own shop one day. There is just something about making things old new and better.

Yep,being OCD as a engine builder can only make a smoother running longer lasting engine. That 426 cu in Allis engine was a great engine

We have a 1974 200 Allis with about 2800 hours on it. It is still the most trouble free tractor we've ever owned although it's not used much. We bought it in 1998 with 1500 hrs on it from an old farmer in Iowa. This old girl still looks like new. It's really cool you boys keeping the old orange running like new again.

You might already know this, back in the 70s aluminum was in short supply (alcoa strike) so pistons were being made for about a year or so from late 73 thru 74 with 100 series cast alloy, which on paper has quite a expansion range. Likely the reason for it to be so dimensionally sloppy.

@@kevinmccune9324 I did alot of research recently on the subject, it turns out during the war periods in the 40s, korean war and even part of vietnam the same thing happened, most pistons were being made from 100 series cast (A lower grade than even a cast wheel). Its expansion rate was pretty nuts, about .002 per inch per 100C. That meant in most Farmall and Allis tractors of the period nearly all of them had very loose pistons. They also had keystone style rings, I'm not exactly sure what that means I am guessing that's a ring type that prevents heavy gouging of the wall. My grandfather had even more information. He said back in the day, the books for these engines had "stock piston" boring information, and that at the time the rebuilder piston, ring and sleeve manufacturers often set their own bore spec because the pistons would be made of a different material. We've had a WD45 Diesel I've used for over twenty two years and my grandfather used for forty or more. I rebuilt the engine two years ago, originally made in 1955 as a 56 model, so it would have been a Korean war machine. In fact my grandfather bought it brand new for HIS father to use as a cultivator when he got back from the war. The kit I used has modern pistons, sleeves, the whole thing including modern tri metal bearings. Our 4066r and the wd have roughly the same pto horsepower and the wd uses only a gallon an hour to run the brush mower. The 4066r is easily more than twice that.

In a previous life i did a lot of tractor engine rebuilds out in the field here in the UK, mainly Fords and Massey Ferguson's.

I do this every day but it’s somehow nice to watch someone else do it! Love those older AC’s, just finished a 170.

Runs beautifully. My father-in-law worked for Allis in the 1950s to 1970s. He precision ground FI needles and loved his job. He was heartbroken when the company went broke and made their last tractor in 1985. Thanks for sharing your expert engine work.

I’d say you got one hell’uva deal. Trans, Rear and hydro along with the frame, cab and tires were good or better then good. One thing I’m glad to see, your dad used TIRE SOAP on the O rings on the cans. Some people thing that you need to pack the lower ring groove …. DONT! Some grease/lube will push out but then you have a groove filled with grease and the o ring has no place to seat and when the coolant comes to temp and pressure… it will blow that lower ring right out and dump coolant into the pan on the first day

just a tip for those head bolts underneath the rocker shaft, if you take your crows foot extension and turn it 90 degrees either way relative to the handle of your torque wrench, you dont have to adjust or compensate your torque settings. reason being, it adds no additional lenth to the the torque wrench. so just put your extension on turn it 90 degrees and torque it down as normal... love the vids!

Always a pleasure to watch you work. A Machinist's machinist. Clean, focused attention to detail with no corners cut. Just what true professionalism is about.
