Restoring old cars and equipment is definitely a labor of love, the finished product is the reward for all the time and labor, great job Evan, thanks for sharing your rebuild.
I think it's awesome that we can come along and learn with you. That takes some gnads to put yourself out there on camera while learning. Especially with the wealth of critics on social media. Thanks for bringing us along. You have definitely inspired and motivated me over the years.
It's mighty nice of the old-timers who are parting our their tools to folks who will put them back to work. As an old-timer myself I recognize the desire to pass along what we've learned - a lot of it the hard way. 😊 I saw good mechanical skills throughout this teardown/rebuild -so a lot of your skills and experience are transferable. Don't sell yourself short. Most fella's would have never gotten as far as you have. Keep up the good work!
Hi, Evan! You continue to amaze me with your mechanical skills. You are a brave man to dismantle, repair, refurbish, and reassemble the Allis Chalmers on camera. You are a big inspiration to many people. Thank you for your dedication to your channel and subscribers.
You sure do keep busy, thanks for another video, you should do a video with Pete from Just a few Acres that would be fun, you are a younger version of Pete!
I love restoration videos of almost anything. I amazes me to see someone take anything that looks ready for demolition and make it work and look like it's brand new! Good job.
All machinery rehab includes the hardest part: cleaning the old parts before re-assembly. It's the most time consuming and critical task to properly prepare for re-assembly. Like you, I pressure wash and clean, usually before dis-assembly, which let's you see what you're working on, and makes the job much easier. Thorough cleaning AFTER dis-assembly then makes re-assembly much more "pleasant", (if that's possible) LOL. Good job.
That Allis Chalmers tractor is going to purr like a kitten when you get it all back together and I enjoyed watching you adapt and overcome all the obstacles you had, but you made it work. Great job, Evan.
Awesome accomplishment. May be 6 times the work to reconstruct but when its done it will be so worth it. I did a Ford 9N 30 years ago and still think about that time. Keep chugging along !
Evan, when your replacing bearings always keep the old races when you press them out. They are hard so you'll have to grind or sand the OD of them down so that they slip back into their original spot freely. Then you can use them to seat the new race that last amount with a press. Heating or freezing will help with getting them into the housing/shaft really well.
Nice Work Evan!! That's a big job for a novice one man band, but look at what you'll have when it's done. Always enjoy your Video's. Best of Luck......... Pretty soon the MRS is going to demand her own tool box!
Evan, rather you than me for sure! But I really enjoyed watching. Most people don't realize, but getting all the bearings and races press fit in the right direction to mate up is a major challenge on something like this because you are constantly rotating the piece. I am 60 and we had a D-14, great little rake tractor, that was very similar to the 17 just smaller so it looks very familiar to me. Very interesting video! Murfreesboro TN
Might be telling you some info you already know but I would suggest you use a brass punch when removing and installing bearing races due to the risk of damaging the housing or possibly the races. Also dead blow sledge hammers of all sizes. It’s obvious you know what your doing and I’ve done a lot of differential gear work and I’ve seen a lot of failures due to using hardened steal punches and hammers. Good work! I’m trying to get a WD 45 from my neighbor to restore. I’ve been watching it decay in his yard for 25 years.
When your driving seals or bearing races use the 12,6,3,9, and so fourth it stops anything going in lop sided, Your doing great for the first time attempt. And the video are perfectly clear also the sound is great.🇮🇪🇬🇧.
Sorry Evan, I know nothing about what you are doing, but I can pray that you remember how all these parts go back together lol . God bless you and Rebecca,and keep you safe. ❤
Going together pretty good for you Evan, it's going to be great when you get it done looking and running. Stay safe and keep up the good videos and keep the fun in them too. Fred.
Evan when you were disassembling I thought it would be very difficult pressing the bearings back on. Rebekah is a champion for buying you the press. Hope the other side is goes as well.
I have enjoyed watching all the videos from beginning to here, not because I want to learn or dive into tractor restoration. I grew up in with uncles that did this quite regularly, they at one time had a garage and repaired vehicles for others but quickly learned when you live in a small town in the late 70's, you tend to work on friends and family's vehicles more than paying customers. They sold the garage and moved their mechanics shop back home and continued to restore and maintained just about every thing with wheels or tracks while working reg jobs. One uncle was a pro at fixing things like Indian motorcycles, he custom made parts to fit. I remember the Indian motorcycle because when he first got it he was in the yard and tried to start it, it caught fire, and instead of dropping it he held on to it and yelled for uncle Dan. I was in the side yard and grabbed the hose. We all new he wasn't going to drop it. This was normal activities back then, I suppose you could say its nostalgic to watch video's like this. The memories that come flooding back are worth it.
Great video! Great work! As a kid, my dad's tools on the farm always included whacking it with a wooden block and an 8 pound maul. Just standard repair equipment. He was an Allis Cjamlers diesel mechanic, salesman, farmer and inventor. I had no such gifts...
Great job Evan! I have only used the punch and socket method on my races and the seals, just have to take it easy on the seal and hit it square for sure. I wish I had your shop to do mine in, but I don't so my son and I just got done putting a steering arm on my 96 horse tractor. Had to do it outside, taking the radiator out along with other front end parts off, but we finished it about 5 days ago. Nice video, enjoyed watching, thanks and have a great Sunday and rest of week ahead.
Evan, that’s obvious truth that is always easier to break something down than fix it, especially if you additionally want to improve (change some parts for new ones). Glad you did it, so now I am waiting for the rest of assembly and final result😊
Get a small freezer and a small crockpot for the shop. Fill the crockpot with some oil to help transfer the heat. Keep the things that need to be cold in the freezer.
National Oil Seal Co. is under the Timken umbrella of companies now, but when it comes to oil seals in heavy machinery or industrial products there is nothing better to trust than National.
Good Morning Evan, put your races in the freezer or dry ice until install time, cold contracts, heat expands makes for a much easier time. Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!!
Great job Evan. Making due with the tools you have. You can't ask for more than that. Wish I could be there to help. It would be a lot of fun. I had to laugh when you broke your hammer. I would have said some not so nice words. Or maybe you did and edited out . Lol. Keep up the work I really enjoy watching them .
It's taking shape again. Painting will be a slow tedious job and like putting a bow on your package. Do let us know where you find the missing bolts hiding. 🙂
My Dad who was a construction mechanic in they 40s to 90s use to help his Brother in law who owned a farm here in Maine w his Tractor troubles,Massy Fregurison,Ford 9N,Farmall.I have the same clip ring tool but didn't know what it is in My Tool box from Dads😊So thanks for the info an video
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that sometimes forgets to turn the microphone on LoL. Awesome job. Great video thanks for sharing it's looking good stay safe. Hope you guys didn't have any damage From the storms we had over the weekend.
Hello Country View Acre family! I really love your content and all of the different things I have learned since watching you. Been watching since the beginning. God Bless!
I'm amazed with your attention of detail, but that is important doing builds and remodeling. I hope everyone is safe after the storm Friday evening. The storm tract went to the north of me.
It is a global parts market now. Gone are the days of good old US made Timken bearings. They can come from anywhere. They are only going to last so long no matter where they came from. I just try and buy the best quality I can find. I completely restored a 1939 B Deere and every bearing I removed was Timken. What I put back was from all parts of the globe.Mostly German and Japan stuff. Restoration is a lot of fun but it is also a LOT of work...
Glad to see you post this video. I wasn’t sure how close you live to the area that was in the path of the tornado. It’s good to know you all must be ok.
Great Video Evan, I can relate to all the work the camera action takes. I'm a ham operator and build a lot of projects myself and just setting up a little still shot camera to cover my build it work and cumbersome. so I can relate to doing a video to catch live action and to keep your mind set on the technical aspects of what you are doing as you narrate??/ no thanks that is way too cumbersome for this old man. so thank you for taking the time to do it and help others out with on hands viewing. and for sharing. ECF
Yes a big job Evan, you might want to take a close look at the seal lip just behind the wheel hub as something did not look right on camera (@17:51) w/ that seal lip. A shop repair manual for your series of D-17 would be very helpful to you. Thx for posting & good luck w/ the other side.
Freeze the parts to shrink them heat to expand them
Watching it right now on my 65 inch 4K TV and drinking a cup of coffee
That's a good start to the day right there.
Restoring old cars and equipment is definitely a labor of love, the finished product is the reward for all the time and labor, great job Evan, thanks for sharing your rebuild.
I’m worried about the Jack stands. Wish you had another lift to help hold things up. Please be careful !!!
I used to help my Dad in his shop. He repaired & overhauled tractors/trucks in the winter🌵🤠
I bet those are great memories.
I think it's awesome that we can come along and learn with you. That takes some gnads to put yourself out there on camera while learning. Especially with the wealth of critics on social media. Thanks for bringing us along. You have definitely inspired and motivated me over the years.
You deserve admiration and participation for this great effort. Thank you for this content. We are waiting for more videos from you 🌹🌹🌺🌹🌺

Great job so far, my theory is that if you don't try something you never know what you can accomplish.👍👍👍
Good medicine! Thanks for sharing 👍
You sure do keep busy, thanks for another video, you should do a video with Pete from Just a few Acres that would be fun, you are a younger version of Pete!
BE A NICE TRACTOR WHEN YOUR DONE,WORTH THE MONEY
Wonderful to be watching you put the old girl back together. Can’t wait to hear her purrrrr❣️🇨🇦
Love the way you go about your tasks Evan , do your research and take your time , a pleasure to follow you .
I love restoration videos of almost anything. I amazes me to see someone take anything that looks ready for demolition and make it work and look like it's brand new! Good job.
Good job Evan and thanks to Rebekah for helping him.
Great Job and don't sell yourself short, as an Old Mechcanic you are doing MUCH better than most!

Evan, I really enjoy your videos. Thanks.
hate to say I laugh at your oops... I love that you leave all them in. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks' as always Evan! Great to see the girl going back together.
Excelente vídeo. Tenho um D17 aqui no Brasil. Estou fazendo a manutenção.
Might be hard work but think of the satisfaction when you drive it out to the field for the first time
Hi, Evan ! Love your video brother keep up your video brother. 4_ 2 _2023
Evan, Dont forget to put oil in the pans!!!🤠😎God Bless!
Nice Work Evan!! That's a big job for a novice one man band, but look at what you'll have when it's done. Always enjoy your Video's. Best of Luck......... Pretty soon the MRS is going to demand her own tool box!

Nice job as always. Wonderful that others are sharing their tools and advice. Blessings🙂
Hay evan nice to see your tractor is coming back together nice job
Early tractors remind me of Super Heavy Duty Jeeps. Good job!
Evan, Evan you know the old saying no matter the job big or small do it right or not at all😉🇱🇷👍

Great Job CVA, on putting together the leftside Axle/final drive assy on the tractor. heavy as a hoot owl..
You have all the tools others have used for years , before the fancy one today .
Would be nice to see the tractor back together and running
Heard the weather was bad in southern ILLINOIS so glad to see a post from you all
Sorry Evan, I know nothing about what you are doing, but I can pray that you remember how all these parts go back together lol . God bless you and Rebecca,and keep you safe. ❤
Going together pretty good for you Evan, it's going to be great when you get it done looking and running. Stay safe and keep up the good videos and keep the fun in them too. Fred.
Some fresh paint anmd you'd have a real eyecatcher! 😉
Thanks a lot for the video! 😊👍🏻
Get your self a set of brass punches for putting bearings and races in a steel punch has a lot more risk of deforming the surface
Thanks for taking the time to video this. Interesting and helpful for those who want to learn. Waiting patiently to see the final product.
Nice work Evan, that tractor will be very useful for running the hay equipment, love the live pto and hand clutch
Thank you for your share and work on making this video I love your videos
Nice work Evan have a great day.
Good video of your progression thru this tractor overhaul. Excellent tutorial for someone else who may tackle this job in the future.
Use loctite retaining compound to keep the seals in place
Evan when you were disassembling I thought it would be very difficult pressing the bearings back on.
Rebekah is a champion for buying you the press. Hope the other side is goes as well.
You did a great job Evan keep up the good work can’t wait till see it all done may God be with you

But you never give up. Willing to try❤❤❤
Hi Evan,
Amazing Great Job 👏🏻
Need to do the same on my Deutz D 50 1.S!🙈
Greats from Germany!
Good day's work!
super star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video! Great work! As a kid, my dad's tools on the farm always included whacking it with a wooden block and an 8 pound maul. Just standard repair equipment. He was an Allis Cjamlers diesel mechanic, salesman, farmer and inventor. I had no such gifts...

Get a small freezer and a small crockpot for the shop. Fill the crockpot with some oil to help transfer the heat. Keep the things that need to be cold in the freezer.
Great idea to heat big parts in grill one I won't forget. Thanks for the video always great to see how to improvise with what you have to work with.

This is an experience of my lifetime I so appreciate you and your ventures
Good Morning Evan, put your races in the freezer or dry ice until install time, cold contracts, heat expands makes for a much easier time. Enjoy your videos, keep up the good work!!
I bought freeze spray to try when I assemble the other side.
It will be worth it just to get reliable brakes!
Great job Evan. Making due with the tools you have. You can't ask for more than that. Wish I could be there to help. It would be a lot of fun. I had to laugh when you broke your hammer. I would have said some not so nice words. Or maybe you did and edited out . Lol. Keep up the work I really enjoy watching them .
The D-17 you'll have when you finish both ends will be worth it. I plan to keep watching all the way, and I see lots of others will, too.
All I can say is, "WOW!"
Recommend putting a fill port at the appropriate level on the gear pan for future use. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.
Very impressive Evan
It's taking shape again. Painting will be a slow tedious job and like putting a bow on your package. Do let us know where you find the missing bolts hiding. 🙂
Great job. Thanks for sharing this with us. Much appreciated.❤
Like your Can Do attitude!
My Dad who was a construction mechanic in they 40s to 90s use to help his Brother in law who owned a farm here in Maine w his Tractor troubles,Massy Fregurison,Ford 9N,Farmall.I have the same clip ring tool but didn't know what it is in My Tool box from Dads😊So thanks for the info an video
Another great job.
Proper tools are the key.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that sometimes forgets to turn the microphone on LoL. Awesome job. Great video thanks for sharing it's looking good stay safe. Hope you guys didn't have any damage From the storms we had over the weekend.
We didn't have any damage at our place
@@CountryViewAcres that's great news. Glad to hear that. Thanks
Very nice work Evan! Great video!👍🏻
Very nice work Evan
Hello Country View Acre family! I really love your content and all of the different things I have learned since watching you. Been watching since the beginning. God Bless!
Enjoyed the video and 1:05 is the highlight for me!
You don't have a plumbing leak test inspection before drywall? Sweet!

Great job Evan, love your video's
Job well done.
Doing a great job buddy
Awesome video series with this tractor. Please wear safety glasses when using the press.
Looking good so far..
Glad to see you post this video. I wasn’t sure how close you live to the area that was in the path of the tornado. It’s good to know you all must be ok.
Great job Evan and another interesting video, keep em coming.
