After you took the valve cover off and saw how clean it was, THAT was all the reason you needed to save this grader. Plus, as you mentioned, parts are available for that engine. I'm sure you'll find other parts as well. It is definitely worth saving.
Yes, that truck is AMAZING! I'm going to do a series fixing it up and outfitting it for future recoveries or whatever else i get into! Thanks for the support! I appreciate it!
Well sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! Good thing the truck has a locker in the rear, and quite a bit of weight to it... even still, i wasn't convinced we'd get it out!
It’s irritating when people get careless and damage things because it’s old and seemingly worthless to that individual. Nice little motor grader, bet it would be fun to operate. That plate you put on to protect the water jacket could be used to line up the bolt holes on the broken parts if you decide to weld that housing part back together and help keep it flat as possible to. Great find,thanks for the tag along vid sir.
@@HaroldPrice-lt5se Developed in 1949, the first graders had an 8" round beam. The beam was changed to an 8" square beam in mid 1961. 1st engine were A C 201. In 1953 the engine went to the 226. In 1959 the engine was a 262. The DD (diesel) was introduced in 1954. Production went to 1971.
I literally just bought an old Alis Chalmers like this one (a very basic 1956 model) - except that mine doesn't have the wheel tilt and the hydraulic circle drive. It's a neat little machine that I'm looking forward to getting to work with. I'm looking forward to seeing how this one comes together!
I can tell that you like that Allis by the care you took buttoning up her engine. Look forward to hearing her running and moving. I'm glad you rescued her.
This is my first time seeing your channel, so I don't know anything about you, but I do love old machines. Back then they were both simple to work on, and built to last. Good luck in getting her working again.
I thank you for your time and effort in fixing old cat machines, and old equipment:) I like watching you fixing old equipment and sharing your experiences.
That's the cutest road grader I've ever seen. Alice Chalmers D3858??? That's about the size we need for our dirt road. Thanks for posting. Cheers from eastern TN
Thanks for the work and the video! Yes it looks like the machine is recoverable and hopefully with the love you are putting into it, will be available for work soon enough. Thanks for showing us what's what. Hopefully someone will help you out with some affordable parts.
Just from the numbers you quoted i couldnt believe that there was a water pump for $114.99 new in stock and radiator was like $250-$300 again in stock. It just blows me away how easily one can acess parts for a 70 y/o machine!
I have seen you recover a couple of moto graders now, and that doesn't look like a fun experience, especially in an environment like this. I'm shocked that you didn't get stuck. Nothing but respect bro. I thought I was doing something when I recovered a riding mower out of the woods, lol.
So enjoyed the bumper music, makes for an enjoyable and relaxing video. I don’t know why people think you need hard driving rock music to be a cool video. Keep it up!
Matt, engine is WD45. Parts all over the U.S. Steiner tractor parts should have everything you need. Air cleaner is also WD45 tractor part as well as radiator. Yours is the first I've seen with a cab. The tube main frame is unique. Every other grader builder used square tubing. Check the mounts on the tube for the turntable cylinders. Everyone one I have seen here in Ohio is busted and the welding is very horrendous. Welding on top of a crack doesn't fix it.The best fix is cutting the damaged tube section out and welding in a new piece. I think yours is ok from what I've seen so far in the video. AL B in Ohio.
Thanks Rob! Yeah that wheel loader forklift needs some major attention, and that is going to happen soon i just got the parts i need to finally fix the missing chain and rollers... plus a mountain of other stuff!
That was so great nice 326 Allis love your videos so much they make my day thank you for sharing and your time was really great never miss one and can't wait for next video
Cute little Allis-Chalmers D grader. Not like those big monster Galions. She has 37, azz kicking horsepower, good for small to medium projects. Can’t wait for this rescue to continue. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✅✅✅✅✅
Right now in PA. Matt from 'Diesel Creek' head is exploding with excitement!!!
My head exploded! I’ve been looking for a grader just like this to fix up FOREVER. I can’t believe he got one for $500
Lol. You know it!
Matt (diesel creek) just wet spotted his undies...(Cue semi supervillians outro)
I was thinking same thing
@@josephdougherty2399Christine
Proud of you rescuing these old but still good machines. I get the feeling older machines are going to make a comeback. No computers.....
Easy to fix and plenty of parts. A piece of history that needs to be saved.
G'day mate. That dear old girl is about the same age as me. I'm sure she appreciates you saving and looking after her.👍🇦🇺
I can hardly wait until you dive in to working on that grater. This definitely will be an amazing adventure for you and for us. Thank you for sharing
Love when old iron gets saved. Maybe start fixing some of the previously acquired items? Love, health and respect from Scotland UK.
Aye, aye, 👀 good tae ken i'm no the only one fae the land ae the Saltire watches 😄
CAT , Galion and Allis Cambers , there made in the 40's -- till 70's, all great graders. Greetings from germany.
It's older and in better shape than I am. Like you I enjoy the old things, I myself am into old printing presses. Cast iron is heavy and oh so cool.
Great Job on getting the road grader onto ur trailer and making-it home. long progress getting her to run again..
The jazz just makes the whole recovery effort seem more mellow. 🙂
Sounds like music from the Peanuts.😅 Charlie Brown
After you took the valve cover off and saw how clean it was, THAT was all the reason you needed to save this grader. Plus, as you mentioned, parts are available for that engine. I'm sure you'll find other parts as well. It is definitely worth saving.
She's definitely in great shape for age. Extremely excited to see in operating.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh snap Matt @ Diesel Creek will like this one!
Well I agree we all have to save something ! Without history we cannot go forward , thanks as always !
The white winch/crane truck is really handy, keep good care to it!
Thx a lot for showing!
👍👍👍
Yes, that truck is AMAZING! I'm going to do a series fixing it up and outfitting it for future recoveries or whatever else i get into! Thanks for the support! I appreciate it!
That service truck might not be fancy but it gets the job done and keeps proving itself
You got a great deal on that road grader I sure do like the old equipment keeping it out of the scrapyard and putting it back to work😊
What a find! These graders were ahead of their time. One with a cab no less.
You were very brave to take that truck in there. I would have got stuck for sure.
Well sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do! Good thing the truck has a locker in the rear, and quite a bit of weight to it... even still, i wasn't convinced we'd get it out!
@@SalvageWorkshop Thank you. Its nice to knowyou are human, and gave it a thought as to whether it might get stuck.
thank you for saving these old treasures....your passion shows....thanks for sharing your experiances with us !
At $500 it is at least a pretty kool 'lawn ornament' ! Here's hoping it's more than just a lawn ornament.

November 22, 1955. Absolutely save it! Alis Chalmers!
Warms my heart to see you save the old girl!!!! Always enjoy your channel!
Maybe she deserves attention sooner... Another great adventure. Onward!
That grader looks pretty damn good for how old it is!!
Said 1935 on the tag

It had two years on the tag 1952 and 1955. Matt did think it was 1940s
It is not old, it is far younger than me! Mind you, if it needs a rest, I can show sympathy.
Nice Allis. Never seen a grader with a tubular frame before. I've only seen box and I-beam frames.
SCAR IF FIRE. That’s how to say it. Thanks for your hard work. I learn something every video. Nice touch.

Please!! Save it! and make it! A super duper FIx! Paint work and all the stuff FAN SWEDEN 🇸🇪
Decent music to video. I can actually watch with the sound on without getting a headache.
I love the grader. Classic American machinery.
i am impressed that for a guy who is so machine savy you are not too proud to risk a few blisters and just use a shovel.
All tools have their place!, but many times I PREFER a shovel! Pretty dang good exercise using hand tools!
I can tell that you like that Allis by the care you took buttoning up her engine. Look forward to hearing her running and moving. I'm glad you rescued her.
I appreciate your patience for older machunes.

Great little unit
Braze the cast, Matt. That is the proper repair for that application.
You are a talented mechanic. The calm music is nice and the editing is good. I look forward to seeing a follow up video on the grader. Thank you.
Oh yeah! Armstrong steering is a sign of a great machine!
awesome!

Fantastic small grader for a lane or small road- great 50’s look to it too. Good work, Matt.
Its easy enough to BRAZE that waterpump. A good silver braze after a good cleanup with a wire wheel and you are golden.
Considering how much new equipment is, I am not amazed that you found a good one to refurbish and get back on the road and back to work
Looking forward to seeing this one brought back to life. Thanks for the video
I think you are lucky to find that machine, very usable.
Glad you rescued the old girl.
Really appreciate your videos 👍👍👍👍👍
Be waiting to see you bring it back to life.👍👍
You have spiked my interest. I'm looking forward to the next installment of restoration. Thanks for sharing!!!
I can’t wait to see this AC is running again 👍👏👊
You - and Diesel Creek - would have a blast together! As with you guys, when I see something like that - I see it running and doing work for me!
I'm actually in love with it
Be looking forward to watching this
A "Great find"!!! Look forward to its restoration.
Another great vid. Now you have the workshop finished I can't wait for you to get back on machinery renovation.
Cheers
Ian
Looks like a WD45 motor. Parts should be available very easily. Farm tractor parts will make the repairs as well as the radiator.
This looks in decent condition, good recovery.
ty very mutch
Allis Chalmers were excellent machines. It us worth putting them back to work
Be real good to see this old unit up and operating again. Greetings from sunny BONBEACH Melbourne Victoria Australia.
You and diesel creek must be in competition for all the old stuff
Not at all! We just LOVE the same of old junk!
Another great project thanks for sharing 🦘
Well done Matt.

I always look forward to your videos Matt, I'm betting that engine will run nicely once you play with it a bit. Thanks for bringing us along.
What a great find! I look forward to seeing it running again.

So enjoyed the bumper music, makes for an enjoyable and relaxing video. I don’t know why people think you need hard driving rock music to be a cool video. Keep it up!
Nice, that engine will be fine, easy to pull out to sort any bell housing issues.
I viewed most of this video at 2X (double) speed - great video :)

Oh cool, very old stuff again, love it!
Looks like a cool project. Casual observation looks like you are just about maxed out of room in your Storage Yard.
That is only one side of it!!! That area is about 1/4th of the space behind the Cave!
Do love your content, thank you, ✌️❤️ from 🏴
Nice recovery, well done. PLEASE get the lift chain for the forklift fitted though 😮
Thanks Rob! Yeah that wheel loader forklift needs some major attention, and that is going to happen soon i just got the parts i need to finally fix the missing chain and rollers... plus a mountain of other stuff!
Too much old equipment going to the scrap yards my friend, it’s sad! Kirk from Louisiana and thanks for sharing! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
those graders are awesome, my dad had one like it.
Looking forward to this series on the ol Grader. Bring it on 😊
Another very interesting project. Thanks for saving another machine
That machine looks awesome
Great looking grader! Looking forward to future videos. Take care!
As always a magnificent and didactic video. Greetings from Barcelona, Spain.
you`re the Great Master
Nice Grader and being an Allis Chalmers, you should have found plenty of readily available parts. Nice looking gate by the way
Great video. This will make a nice restoration.
I love the work you do, great job.
Hi,save grader ,and give it name.keep videos coming you have my vote,and support love it all.❤😂
Like the sudo Jazz music...very nice.
Well done👏👏
That is a nice color, Good tires, and a marvelous ride home. Hope you can get that radiator replaced or repaired.
That was so great nice 326 Allis love your videos so much they make my day thank you for sharing and your time was really great never miss one and can't wait for next video
Man, understand your passion for preservatIon! Great video!
I love Old Machine's Too
Cute little Allis-Chalmers D grader. Not like those big monster Galions. She has 37, azz kicking horsepower, good for small to medium projects. Can’t wait for this rescue to continue.

The tube frame design was the first thing I noted as well, love its unique old-school design and Allis-Chalmers as well.
She’s a beaut!
