We live in southeastern Illinois on a 41 acre homestead. We just finished building our log cabin in 2018. Now we are focused on trying to grow our own food and raise livestock. Follow us on our journey we continue to develop our homestead and farm, while becoming more self sufficient.
you need to decrease your blade angle and increase your speed, the snow will roll off the blade better. little coating of wd40 on the face of the blade will help also
I think there are separate locks that hold the wheel s from moving or out. Blade needs to be cleaned of rust and painted. Slick surface will move snow easier. A sway chain will keep tjhe blade from moving sideways.
If you don't want to paint the BB, then spray PAM on it. The snow wont stick to it.
@@swamprat69er I am sure Pam will make it taste better ha ha, thx great idea
Great video. Like to see the 60 year old tractor working hard.
Sometimes you can use the bucket to lift yourself out - you probably knew that- did good with no chains would of been cooler to see you pull it out with the Case Awesome vid
Keeping the blade polished or painted will help the snow slide off easier. I also coat mine with spray silicone before plowing snow. It really make a difference.
Great advice. The cheap silicon lube from the tractor store works as well as any I've tried.
A can of PAM will do the same thing....
Pushing snow outta the way is better expressly with a rear wheel drive tractor. And chains/weights would help a shit ton better. Lol
John Deere had the same idea in 1830s...
In spite of its little quirks, that's a COOL old tractor. I'm glad you're able to get good use out of it. Thanks for sharing!!
Either Rebecca is busy working, doing other things behind the scenes or she doesn't like to be on camera. It doesn't matter. She is always a big help when she does show up on the camera. Thanks again for making these videos and sharing your family 👪 and farm with us.
I don’t even have to watch the video when you post I just automatically like it bc your vids are always the best
you need to put the locking blocks in place you need two one on each side. ran AC all my life. l always had chains. l be watchin!!!!
The reason the blade is pushing the tractor around is you have the blade angle to steep. Swing it back the way it was and it won't control the tractor so bad plus you will plow a wider width. I think the reason the snow wouldn't roll is you had the tractor inside and the blade was warm. When you started plowing the snow would stick to the blade. If you would have kept plowing the blade would have cooled off and snow would have started to roll. Also your blade is rusty until the blade shines itself up snow just drags on it. Just like molboard plowing you have to shine up the blades before the dirt will roll. Have a good day. I really enjoy your channel only started watching a couple weeks ago.
I started following your channel becasue of the old AC tractor. I have a D 17 series 4 that I am rebuilding and hope to use in the next few years. Glad to see yors still being used. Love your channel!
Try lubricating the blade with cooking spray. It prevents snow and ice from sticking to the blade.
You’re missing a stop block on your spin out rims, there should be two, one one either side of the in or out position. You could build a three point hitch on the AC with the draw bar still available for use. With loader on, it actually takes weight off of rear tires. Set your front wheels in to inside line of back tires, tractor will steer better and turn shorter. Good old tractor, thanks for sharing.
Need to make sure those locks are moved all the way around to the locked position. There is a special tool included that is made specifically to unlock and lock those lugs.
I love seeing people working with the classic tractors I still use 1950 John Deere A, two Ford 9n's, and a 1954 Ford NAA, and Ford 2000, a Massey Ferguson 245, and a 1995 kubota L2650 and a 2013 Kubota L5740 I might have a tractor obsession
Good evening Evan and Rebecca, you two did good together. I would recommend a set of chains and a block heater and park it in the old barn through the rough part of winter and you'll leave the chains on till the spring thaw is over. Then remove the chains. They have done that for years and the two wheel drive will get it done most of the time. Also move the "FIX the slip wheel on both wheels this summer. Stay safe and keep up the great videos, we sure enjoy your channel. Fred.
Soooo beautiful!! Thanks for sharing this. We're in South Louisiana, & never have the blessing of snow!! God bless y'all 💞
Loved the hip work trying to get it out! Quite a workout lol! Always nice to have a second tractor…
We just generally just pushed the snow around with the loader bucket. But when we finally got a tractor with a differential lock, it was so much better in many of these situations.
I wish I'd get some snow in Nebraska I put some snow extensions on my extensions on my tracker on the bucket I wanna try out
Looks like the wheel came out again. I figured it would since you used that small impact/screw gun. We owned one when I was a kid. You should have used that breaker bar and put some weight behind it. Oh well live and learn.
Evan you've got to get a rear blade or front blade for the TYM AND PLOW IN A COMFORTABLE CAB!!! Always Love watching!
Great video! Not sure why, but I always love to watch winter videos. Maybe because we hardly ever see snow here in Mississippi. Anyhow, thanks for getting out in the cold to churn out more excellent content! You and Pete at Just A Few Acres Farm are both my all-time favorites...I never miss an episode! Also, that's a mighty fine pole barn...I have really enjoyed watching the build process!
I was caught without chains early this year. We had about a foot and let me tell you 4 wheel drive tractors need chains in snow. Without chains I was facing north south east and west and every point in between at any given moment. They were on the tractor that day and will stay on until I see dandelions.....lol
You can put on kold kutter ice screws. Prepare to be surprised, and a lot less of a nuisance than chains. But chains work too.
I love those old tractors and equipment - I have a 1956 Farmall Cub myself. But they do come up short on stuff like traction compared with a 4-wheel drive. Thanks for sharing Evan. Yall have a beautiful place ... even snow-covered.
Good evening, that snow sure is pretty in someone else's yard. Thank you for taking the time to video
Less angle and go faster. Once the blade gets shiny it will work better.
Beautiful video, Evan. Thanks for all the camera angles and for your time in editing ... Thanks for posting your shoot date ... I always wonder about that. And Miss Rebekah came through, yet again!
Good job
11:04… the exact moment you can see that back left adjust itself out.
Use the bucket tilted down and drop into the ground. Tilt bucket back as you try to backup. That usually works for me. May have to repeat (walk your way back). I agree that the back blade is
turned to much. Put it back like it was and it won't walk your tractor sideways. Also need to slick up the face. Wire wheel it? Enjoy your channel and videos!
Beautiful pictures. Enjoy those dogs.
Considering what you have to work with the snow plowing went rather well. Nice work.
Evan next time it snows just try using your new loader to push the snow. If you just leave the bucket on the ground it will fill with snow but just keep on driving down the driveway and the snow will start to furrow to the side. When you come back to the house just only catch half the bucket width with snow and it will mostly furrow to the other side. It’s not completely perfect but it does work when you get the hang of it. Done it for thirty years.
First love the vids
Love watching the old iron work but I bet you sure love that cab on the TYM for these kinds of jobs!
By increasing the blade angle, now it doesn’t reach past the tire, need another extension. If you sanded the front of the blade, then painted it with a slippery high gloss paint or graphite type of paint, would that allow you to decrease the angle back to where you ad it set when you began ?
Wow so much snow. We do have snow in parts of New Zealand and I’ve never touch snow.
For years 4/4 was not available, now every one is spoiled. We enjoy your videos
This Wisconsin boy chuckled when you were complaining about open station tractors. You are getting soft with that new tractor. Lol I have an 8n and an NAA now, and have been using open station tractors to clear the drive for 20+ years now with a rear blade. Considering that probably needs to be done a dozen times a year or so and we have a reasonably long circular drive and misc. lane ways we keep clear to make it easier to tend to the animals, I have spent a lot of hours in the seat. I guess I could try and find a heat houser, but that would be about as good as it gets. I just bundle up. Some thoughts for you; I would take the time to get some paint on that blade and if you want to be fancy, wax it. That will help with it rolling off sooner, especially in wet snow. As for the circular portion, I sort of square it off in sections, because, as you've discovered, when you turn, the blade usually moves away from where you want it. I do not know if the snap coupler blade can rotate all the way around where you can push it to the rear, but any area on the gravel I want to really "clean up" or want a little more precision, I push to the rear. The circular drive is one of those. If it is on the lawn and I do not want to tear it up, I use the blade backwards. The top link (traditional 3 pt.) can control the aggressiveness of the blade and how it cuts to a point, but using the blade backwards is an easy way to avoid a lot of damage and spring clean up. And, yeah, chains. In my case, the rear tires are narrow enough I was able to double-up (two in series) some automotive chains I already had and have been using them for 20 years. Rarely get stuck (maybe once?) and that is without filled tires. If you clear enough snow you start to know where you want snow to be piled, where you do not want snow piled to avoid drifting and, of course, how to do it as quickly as possible. Snow was my excuse to even get a tractor. It is only a small fraction of what I need it for now, but an important one. Oh, I get the old Allis is living in the shop now, but I would recommend a battery tender if you are not already doing that.
Evan -
Love watching your videos.... Try using PAM on the face of the blade, very little will stick and it will roll off. And the spray pattern is perfect in that can. I use it on my snow blower chutes... And you can get your tractor unstuck by using the "Curl" feature on your front bucket. Put the cutting edge all the way down and back, then lower the bucket to the ground, then curl the bucket up, this will push the tractor backwards.
Think I'd get me a blade for the new tractor.......To be in the warm cab.....
My thoughts too. Sell the old antiques and buy modern equipment to go with that new tractor. Same for his hay. Work smarter not harder. We will still watch!
The snow does look pretty there. With a long driveway like you guys got, it would almost be nice to have a blade to mount on the loader. Nice work there with the Ol' Alice. I spent last Thursday clearing out driveways. Even cleaned out your in-laws drive too. Take care.
Might ask TYM if there's a quick connect blade good for clearing snow that you can demonstrate for viewers.😊 Does the old Allis Chalmers have a little foot pedal somewhere toward the rear of your right foot board? If it does, that should be a differential lock to drive both wheels like a foot controlled posi traction. Glad you got it out.
On the tire coming out, you need to secure some wheel rail stops, I think the tractor probably had two wheel rail stops for each wheel when it was new,
Check it out, to get the wheel rail lock to work I had to take the frozen lock off the wheel, heat it up an get it loose,
Just my experience with my D14
Good job enjoy watching you work,
The ol girl still works well!
I had a feeling those lugs weren't tight enough to hold. And yup, those two-wheeled tractors don't do very well in the snow without chains. Four-wheel also for that matter. They can get stuck on a flat icy driveway. You are going to need a set of highway chains for winter snow plowing. Maybe look around the barn to see if you can find a set for that Allis tractor. And, as others have commented, you need to wire brush the plow blade, paint it, and spray it with cooking oil or a silicone spray. Should make a big difference.
No worries about being stuck. I saw a Case Tractor pull out a John Deere Tractor out of a muddy field. Things happen . Great Farm Show, Evan 😎💯🇺🇸🚜🐃🐐🐖🤔☃️❄️🚜👀
Old Allis did pretty good. I always think of her as “old Alice”. She’s a pretty sweet ol gal.
Just thinking --with the wood stove in the shop maybe should raise it up so the bottom of the fire flame is 18 inches off the floor with gas oline vehicle and things in the same area. Just a thought> Great videos.
On my D17 I need to use chains on the rear wheels to get any traction in snow ice. It will just spin out with out.. I like your video. You got a nice other more modern tractor with a cab, and you could rig something on your front loader of it and be in a nice warm way in doing the drive!
You should get some fiberglass snow plow markers-the kind that set well back from the driveway and have an arm that swings over to the driveway edge. Will save you running off the edge and won’t interfere with the plow blade.
I took a blade and cut in half and made a V-Blade. It works prfect and when you back up becomes a v-pusher. Way more efficient, won't fishtail. Good luck 👍
Your best bet is just get a 3 point hitch blade, before I’d spend on chains I’d just spend extra on a light duty blade
Those cam locks turn a full 180°. If one is loose it will move when your throwing some torque down.... Mine sounded like a ball peen hammer getting hit on the rim. I used a 5ft cheater and a 3/4 breaker bar.... I broke a half inch breaker bar.
2 suggestions
1. when plowing a circle with a rear blade, start from the middle and work your way out.
2. sell the Allis Chalmers and use the money to buy a blade for the TYM.
It literally hurt my soul to watch you plow on an open cab 2wd tractor when you have that heated cab on the 4wd TYM.
I do not like a bunch of music when the choice is hearing a nice, relatively quiet antique Allis Chalmers as opposed to a stinking noisy diesel. These are some of the best tractors in history, modern enough to work well and old enough to be built to last a hundred years. I have an original 1952 Ford Jubilee that my Grandfather bought new and it has NEVER been apart. One gas tank and tires, maintenance and one water pump is all it’s ever needed. They made stop blocks with a bolt/pin to hold the position of the wheels. The cam locks are just to secure the rail laterally, not to hold the full torque of forward and reverse.
Hi Evan, on your Allis there needs to be a "stop" set on the rim rails so it doesn't move in a hard pull & the cams need to be as tight as they were before U adjusted the tread width. Take a close look @ the rear rims for those stops, also operators manual will explain how to properly do it. Also look @ CL & FB marketplace for tire chains, get a wide enough set & if they R too long they R easy to shorten. Thanks for the nice video!
About your mail drops, I'm sorry to say, the mail people these days are a set of wimps, in the sixties my mother was a post lady and had to walk a mile over fields to deliver the post to farms. She also walked 1.5 miles along a drive. Not just a 1/4 mile like yours. Other farmers had to go to post offices. This was Britain when I was a boy.
Honeyyy. Can you please come outside for a minute? Uh...just throw on a coat and grab the tractor keys. I'll show ya😆
I have a so called 4 wheel drive tractor and it's still useless without tire chains around my house in the winter. Three things I hate about old tractors, they're not 4 wheel drive, no locking diff and way to high speeded, but two things I do like is, they're lot stronger built and no freeken dpf........
It looks like it would be fun to try, but probably not as much fun doing it with my ATV plow. And I can guarantee that my ATV would not have gotten stuck.
I have one good question. Dont u guys in America have whoolclothes? On very cold days? Its a thin layer of whoolclothes thats fits perfect under ur normal clothes. And keeps u warm very good and if u sweat it absorbs it out so u dont get cold aswell🤩
I have a 1959 D17 with a trip bucket, they are like pigs on ice then the traction is poor. Never had much luck using it for snow plowing.
Just subscribed, I have a D17 series 2 and a JD 2210. Picking up a TYM 754 next week!
You do need chains I did with my Grand Fathers Tractor, but I still still got stuck in 24” storm?
Love that tractor. I myself have the blue equivalent a Ford 3000 with loader. I have a better loader tractor but I always seem to make my way back to the trusty 3000
All I have is a Ford 3000 with a front loader. I need to make some rock boxes to sit on the blade to add traction on the rear tires.
And I’ve now made those boxes and the extra 250 lbs really helps!
Use your bucket and push yourself out backwards. Do it all the time with my 706.
Evan, Look for a old Gallion Road Grader. One swipe and the drive is clean as a whistle and over with. Good video yes these tractors need chains. Thx for posting
It would not hurt to invest in a set of chains for next time. It would not hurt for sure. Good vid and shows you the limitation but it does work and you will get better at it. Maybe a plow extension added to the other side may help? Thanks for posting on your winter wonderland.
Let's hear it for the Allis Chalmers. It was a good idea to wait for the weather to improve.
If it's clear behind the tractor you can actually use the bucket or forks of your loader tractor to "push" the tractor backwards. Handy little trick in a pinch.
Spray some Pam cooking Spray on the blade will help a snow slide better and u can use less angle want to go to the outside first when you are moving snow when it's over 4 inches with a rear blade especially when you have a drop off because if u have to make serval passes u can lose the edge witch could be a bad thing
Hola cómo estás Evan do you have a nice place very clean inside the barn very nice range are you hava y les mandó saludos a todos ustedes and I say hello to everybody from Santa Fe New Mexico
Have you ever considered installing a exhaust vent pipe and your garage , For when you need to run a engine inside With something like the dryer exhaust vent piping? Just a thought
May surprise you how much trouble how much that front end loader will do in getting you out of trouble.
Did you know that when you get in a situation like that , is that you can put your bucket down and push yourself backwards by tilting your bucket.
Great video and I think you’ll be surprised how much chains will help you.
The property doesn’t half look beautiful covered in snow.
Oh man, too bad you didn’t read my comment on your last video soon enough. I know this was filmed prior to the other video.
Build a large parcel mail box that they can open and then lock at the road. Can't you get the tractor turned around and drive over the field and then head on back to the road? You also didn't seem to try to use the bucket to help you.
You hooked your chain on the wrong side of the tractor it’s needs to be hooked on the side that’s in the ditch and pull a little at a angle to bring the front end out of the ditch. 4 wheel drive is nice but a tractor with good chains will beat 4 wheel drive anytime.
Just use your bucket to push yourself out or pull yourself out with the bucket I’ve done it many times
If I had a cab tractor with heat/ac that Allis would be parked. I'm a wuss when it's cold!
Great video 👍 thanks for sharing 💯✌🏻
Whose post box is it opposite your drive could you not put a mailbox at the end of your drive that is big enough to take parcels as well as letters
Could you build a frame or get a scrap frame from a bale spike and fix the blade to it so it would fit the TM
You're right. 2WD tractors & trucks too
for that matter have no business on a farm.
!
I thought you start a project of converting the rear blade to work on the TYM.
Actually an old trick is use your bucket, it can get you out of most any spot tip it all the way down, put it on the ground then use it to push by tipping the bucket up
You need 3 pt hitch back blade also grease the inside of the bucket w Pam so the snow don't stick
if you dont have a welder or cant weld build a wooden angle blade with supports back into the bucket and push the snow i think it would work better than trying to drag that thing. also cant you run that problem wheel in and put a bolt through those holes then who cares if its locked or not?
Put chains on the tractor or buy a 3!point blade for the 4 wheel drive tractor!
Your property is so beautiful no matter what season❤
You need a back blade for your cab tractor that way you don’t have to wear so many clothes to keep warm
Wow, the two wheel drive tractors upset you! Get the correct attachments next time
Could've used your loader to push or pull yourself out. Using the tilt.
Less angle more.speed doing that is putting a lot of side thrust in areas that were not designed to take it.
from the Netherlands thanks for the video C.V.A.
put you a BIG mailbox up at the road, even if you have to fab it up yourself
Liquid lead in the tires and chains will make a world of difference in the Allis
