Glad you did a field repair - I’m assuming that applies to lots of people (like me)

Hello, I know this is an old post but I'm hoping you can help me. I did the same thing to my Allis d17 and now my power steering is not working. When I start the engine the wheels jerk back and forth and then turn to one side an stick there. What have I done wrong? Thank you for any help you can offer!

Do you have a drawing or model for that puller plate?

Can I Purchase your sleeve tools and cam puller you made? I am going to rebuild mine and I would like to make it as easy as possible to do so.

Where did get the long socket bolts . Thank you Dan

How have the perma columns held up ? I’m doing the same with a 30x56 I have

Couldn’t you just use a juicer?

I don't have the means to make tools like that, so I will have to pay a machine shop to press them out and back in.

Thanks getting ready to rebuild a D17 series II, video is very helpful

My crank pulley has a chunk broke. Tried to remove and just realized it wont come off without removing the front end. Ugh, dont have an engine hoist, or crate. I should probably pull the engine and replace the clutch at the same time since the engine removal is juat one more step to acces it.

Why do you need a lot of reservoir capacity on this open center system?

On my 57 D17, I simply made a mount to run my pump directly off the front of the crank. It’s just a plate to mount the pump, with a couple of spacers to bolt the plate to the steering bolster. I just had to make up a short shaft to go between the pump and the crankshaft to drive the pump. I’m running a Kelley loader that came off an A-C 170. A couple of pieces of angle mount the oil tank and valve on the right side of the loader frame, with a spin on oil filter on the outlet of the tank.

Good vids - info. helped a lot. i'm just starting a re-build on a 59' d-14. Question : i can't find exact replacements for the O-rings that are in the steering components . Do you, by chance, have the replacement part #'s?

This is awesome, thank you for showing it off. I have an older D17 too and want to install an external hydraulic system that runs a loader and rear remotes. I am not sure how to mount the pump, whether it be mounted on the front and driven off the crank via a shaft or have it belt driven on the side like yours. Do you have any belt slip? Do you have a pressure relief valve in your system somewhere? I would love to know more.

What part of Wisconsin are you in ? - I'm in Fort Atkinson With an AC D17 and CA - I have moved on to a kubota for my woodyard

The narrow gauge 3J is easier to turn than the wide gauge 5J.

Lookin good Jack!

yeah, that was funny I watched that video back when you drained the oil/ sludge . But I don't remember how long it sat or where you got the tractor.

good shot of the timing marks, cam & crank . From what you covered about what the book said , looks right .

I've heard about those shims from someone at the action where I purchased the Allis C . He said the crank needed those taken out. Your video is the first time I now realize what they where talking about. It's a tractor an old guy had in a Tabaco shed , that he brought to a consignment sale. Hasn't been used in a long time . I drove it with in 7 miles of home valve stem on rear tire caused me to haul it the rest of way. but it ran. steering loose . Now years have gone by , but watching Allis C engine rebuild video's, now I know there is some pain in the but stuff O-rings on the sleeves etc.. Maybe I'll only have to do the crank. but it's cool how you took the engine and put it in a engine stand. Back to the video. Your doing a good job, taking us through the rebuild thks

Yeah, I know how it goes with making videos for sure. Glad to hear you snuck into the egg market. I have so many people at work that want them there is literally a wait list. Im sure if I get more chickens (mind you I just sold 40 this last year) for this influx, I will have more eggs than I know what to do with as people will stop buying by the time they start laying.

Haha I gotta ask do they bite hard? Also I see the ISO tunes. Worth it or not? Ive been eyeballing them for more time than I care to admit lol Bought the cheapos off amazon and they arent too bad for $20

Where were you able to find the replacement piston heads

Where did you buy your replacement radiator?

You can use a crows foot with your torque wrench instead of a socket.

Hey I picked up a series 1 a couple months ago, as well as an old shaver post driver for a 3 point (my series 1 has the 3 point conversion). the guy I got the driver from told me I really need a big return to sump line so that the driver can dump the oil back fast enough to let the driver gravity drop and not be slowed down by the oil going through the smaller return hose. My neighbor told me he thought I could just take the big return hose coming back from the driver and stick it in the hydraulic oil fill port where the dipstick is and then take it out when I'm done with the driver. I'm not super talented like you are with tractors, so I want a solution (for now anyway) that'll work but without too much modification. Does it work to just plug the intake hose for the driver into the remote connector above the transport valve and stick the return line in the fill port? I don't have the selector valve by the way. Does that mean that the 3 point ram arms will always be all the way up when I want the driver to be lifted? thank you

you talk about a book??? what book are you using to referance for clearance and stuff??

I was wondering the same thing..I'm a canner and have not done apple cider yet..just made mine today ..researching it to make sure lol..good luck

How long is the hot water bath for??!!

Great video. I have two pole sheds that are in about the same condition as yours was. In researching PermaColumns, I can across your series. I'm in South Central Wisconsin and next summer I may be tackling my shed in the same way as you did yours.

Hi Jack, great tool! Is there any chance you can still forward the plans? Would be much appreciated...from across the pond. Thanks

Really cool. Did you use any kind of special aluminum alloy for the bearing stock?

How old is the emu? Are you going to breed them? Very cute

Good job! I would’ve bought a series 4.

Does there need to be gaskets in between the metal shims?

Good videos!!

Thanks again really enjoy your videos 👍👍👍

You are very talented, I like what you have done, keep the videos coming 👌

So you're saying don't use wood posts in the ground. Makes sense to me.

I was fortunate enough my parts tractor didn't have large cracks, One minor one I didn't see until cleaning it very well. This video got me thinking, do you think it's possible to bolt the cleaned head down without a gasket and measure clearance between head and block with a feeler gauge to see if it is flattening the deck out?

Was there a screen in the pick up tube? My CA engine in my B had one. mine didn't have tie wire or locking tabs on rear seal housing either. What year is yours? Just curious of why the difference. If you want to see what the pick-up tube screen looks like you can see it in my video @ 17 min in the video below th-cam.com/video/gC36ZYwGLcg/w-d-xo.html

Nice videos. Glad to see details like this. I started documenting my restoration last year because of the lack of available info on the B&C. Wish this was around back when I first started researching my build. keep it up sir!

Hope you have footings under those columns or it will just continue to sink.

Glad I ordered my now with the crazy cost of gas and oil now

Just subscribed. We also have sheep. Ours are dorpher and Blackbelly crossed. We mostly have them to keep the junkyard from becoming overgrown.

There are aftermarket sandwich pumps that can be mounted between the drive and dist. You need a delco dist that has a 90 degree angle and the cap is vertical. or use a short Fairbanks Morse magneto.

Good work Guv'ner :) - nice looking bracket for sure. You're running it with a V belt yeah? Do you have a pump that doesn't mind a side load? I have a project coming up putting a loader on an old kubota and I can tee in to the pto hydraulics but always figured a live drive is best (until you get a severe leak or run dry which means you can't use the engine). Most live drives I have seen are coupled off the front pulley but I know you can get some V belt driven ones for trucks etc that have a mag clutch like an A/C compressor. Keen to see it go "live" 😁

Very exciting! 2 for a "litter?" common?

Lol we were just wondering this very evening if she had her lambs.... and here you are!! Haha
