The $500 Allis Chalmers Two Ten Tractor Strikes Back
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лют 2023
- Well, nearly a year ago we made a video about rebuilding the engine in my dad's Allis Chalmers Two Ten tractor that he picked up for $500. What we've been waiting to tell you is... that rebuilt engine lasted a matter of hours...
• This Is Why You Don't ...
We've finally gotten around to tearing back into it to see what happened...

You can see on your pistons where the fuel is spraying a little out of the bowl. This is a big no no. It indicates that the timing is too far advanced or your injector tips have the wrong angle for that piston. On our pulling tractor we only have piston problems when the timing makes the spray of the injector come out of the bowl.
On those roosamaster pumps they are known for the governor cage falling apart so this cage is always replaced when rebuilding the pump but this cage is where the timing mark is. A new cage comes without a timing mark and the guy rebuilding the pump puts the timing mark on the new cage. Its possible someone put the mark in the wrong place. Do you have access to a diesel timing light to check the timing when you get it rebuilt?
You nailed it that was just what i was going to say. And this will cause heat which will show on rear cylinders that have the least cooling
Hey, this is the cleaning guy. I think you have nailed our problem. The injection pump and nozzles were rebuilt by a reputable shop 2 years ago when I first got the tractor. I'm not a pump guy but if I understood correctly, we were seeing signs of the cage failing and small pieces of material plugging the return line. When I installed the pump after the injection shop worked it over, I could not get the engine to start. After some diagnostics, I determined they had inadvertently marked the pump to be timed from the window on the engine side of the pump, not the side you see. Since this was my own tractor and did not want to wait 2+ more weeks to get the pump set up correctly, the pump shop and I agreed I would just time this engine off of number 6 cylinder. Do you suppose the stationary mark in the windows of that pump are not exactly 180 degrees apart? Maybe in reality my static timing is nowhere close to the 24 degrees I think I have. Was the pump shop having an off day and there is more wrong than just the pump marked 180 degrees out? We sent the pump and nozzles out for a second opinion. There will be much more discussion about this and we will post our findings in the coming videos of our repair. I would be very interested in any more information you can provide us. Thanks!
A question from a non -diesel (gas) mechanic. With all the oil draining out of the filters overnight, are you concerned with dry starting? It must take a long time to refill the filters and build oil pressure.
After looking the cilinder and piston heads, plus knowing the issues you had on the pump when installed, pretty sure the advance timing is in wrong spot and is injecting out of timing, only time will tell
@@JAMSIONLINE Also I am familiar with this pump but not this engine. 24 degrees seems like a lot for stock engine. I know a john deere 4020 which
uses the same pump, you only time them at tdc if I remember right. It could be a difference with the cam ring inside the pump though. The cam ring is just a ring with 6 ramps on it that causes the plungers to compress at the right time. The cam ring is what you see looking in the window of the pump. It has the timing mark on it and the other mark is on the governor cage. Also it is possible to put the cam ring in the pump backwards which would really through off the timing.
It's so nice of you to let the cleaning guy work on his $500 tractor in his new shop.
I’m learning he’s kinda cool to hang out with 😂
😂😂
@@JAMSIONLINE
The older you get, the cooler he’ll be!
@@mauryfeskanich4523 You ain't never lied. :)
If that engine has piston cooler nozzles i would be looking at them carefully, and that oil galley and nozzel alignment
My Dad went home 43 years ago... watching you two work together I miss him all the more. I never had a mentor, friend, and colleague like him... Your video is a testament to your relationship and values.
My coworker did an engine overhaul that when breaking in on the dyno it kept locking up when it got to operating temp and freed back up after cooling down. Took a while to find the o-ring grooves in the cylinder liners were machined wrong so that it left no room for proper expansion and caused the pistons to lock up until it cooled down. The next set of sleeves were made the same way so they sent them out to have the grooves cut like the original sleeves and never had a problem after that. That's the trouble with some of the aftermarket parts, proper tolerance isn't always figured in.
Fun to watch a father and son work together.
DAD is a terrific teacher. Loved his thought process as he went through his mental check list.
There are alot of ford tractors in my aera. When a 6 cyl. Ford tractor block would come into the shop, I would always be reminded, don't forget to put .002 extra clearance in back two cylinders. Runs a little hotter due to circulation.
Grew up on a farm. Neighbors farm had a 190 and a 200. From new. We’re great tractors.
Dad has 3 (I think? Maybe more?) 200s lol but he’s so excited about this 210 😂. Just keeps kicking his butt
I know you boys like to kid each other, but it's great to see father and son working so well together. I lost my father last month at age 87. A farmer all his life and I learned so much from him! Cherish each other!
Look closely at your injection pump. I was in a very similar scenario like this a few years back. I did a Minneapolis Moline G 1000 Vista engine. (Twice) I ran into very similar issues. I actually had the engine lock up on me and was looking at my measurements and the rings and the bearings the oil pump everything. I checked the timing five or six times just as you have done here. Turns out the Stanadyne pump was damaged internally and the timing advance was stuck all the way one way
Also, I think it's hilarious all of the comment mechanics telling a couple of very talented machinists all the things that could be wrong with this engine haha... that's not my intention with my comment above, just wanted to share my experience. This reminds me so much of a scenario that I have personally been through. Although it was hard for me to not leave a comment saying "maybe you didn't have enough gas in it?" 😂
I heard the same thing would happen to some of the Olds 5.7 diesels. The Stanadyne IP had cheap plastic internals that caused the timing to advance incorrectly.
Well, pretty much anything happened to the Olds 5.7 diesel. It may have been the worst thing GM ever built.
@@Adam_Poirier that's what made olds diesels great when they blow you install a 425 or 455
That looks like classic ring or piston seizure due to improper clearance. My experience is if the piston is fit to tight the rings that came with them will also have to little end gap also unless they are filed to clearance separately.
I find in my little world, Chinese replacement pistons/wrist pins will not have OEM weight, which can create balance problems, and their material and design may require a different clearance than OEM pistons. I’d really like to know how you guys deal with piston clearance with Communist replacement pistons at your machine shop?
But, you guys already know all this! 😂 Best Wishes?
Make sure you get expansion controlled pistons.
Number 5&6 are hot cylinders.
I had one on the dyno that had non expansion controlled pistons it stuck as soon as I put the load on it. Same situation as yours let it sit and it started right back up with a ton of blowby.
Got expansion controlled pistons, it still running today with 350 thousand miles on it.
Been there done that. Nothing is tougher than tearing apart something you just put together. Kudos to you for showing the rebuild of the rebuild, a lot of people wouldn’t.
Sorry to hear this. These things do happen and we just have to face them. Looking forward to hear what went wrong. Thanks for sharing this sad event.
210 had no cooling issues, you wouldn't have an air lock either.
Anti freeze on top of the cylinder head is probably from the pipe sealant being cooked out of the pipe plugs on top of the head, they seep around the threads.
The balancer has 2 marks stamped in it, one on each side of the rubber, look for them to line up, if they don't line up the balancer is bad and your timing marks are off, as is the balance on the crankshaft.
Did seats like this for years. Quick and easy. 60, 30, 45 degrees. 44 degrees on the valves. No lapping. Interference angle seats immediately. A minute a seat. Done in 16 minutes. Worked great.
I really enjoy seeing you and your dad work together. My dad passed away when I was 25 and I miss doing projects with him.
You guys make it look easy! Can't wait for the next installment.
Sorry to see that happen. At this point the best outcome ( if there can be one) after something like this is to find the problem. Thanks for taking us along .
Watched it a second time to help with the cleaning guys allowance. Looking forward to the next video when you find the ring problems.
Your Dad is such an absolute Pro........I'm In awe of his level of Knowledge , and skill.
Sadly a lot of us have been there, rebuilt my 165 Massey and it made a solid day in the field before the mains decided they no longer wanted to stay true...put another set in and got another year out of it before they went again and finished off the crank
I always pull the oil pan first whenever I see coolant in the top side, then pressurize the cooling system and check the liners for leaks.
I agree with your Dad on the ring end gap is too tight. Looking forward to the next video.
Would that not break the rings?
@@stevenmarsden2257 not necessarily !!!
@@stevenmarsden2257 only if the ring ends touch and micro weld themselves. If the ring ends micro weld themselves you will see the top of the piston broke in the top ring land area.
If the ring gap is too tight, the ends of the rings will be shiny from rubbing against each other.
Did you watch the same video? He swears he got it to spec, but it would still bind up if the top of the piston overheated. He flat out said that's not the cause - it's just a secondary symptom.
Nice video sure is nice to see you guys working together need more of that these days !
I admire your patience with this recurring breakdown. Looking forward to the rest of the fun..
I like the way the parts cleaner communicates. Really cool to see your father and son team working so effectively. Hopefully I can do something like this with my boys when they’re older.
Such a gentleman to work with. Well done lads.
Y'all put out great content. Thanks for sharing the adventures
Fold up your oil filter pleats, put in a vise, and squeeze the oil out. Makes a mess but makes it so much easier to see what's been captured in them. Thanks for the great vids!
Fun to see the troubleshooting process! Looking forward to the next video. "Why is there antifreeze in it?" is a question you NEVER want to hear...
Utmost respect for making this video. Watched start to finish
Excellent video. Learned so much from watching you work and listening to you explanations. Thank you for inviting us into your workshop by taking the time to make these videos. Hope you get this fixed quickly. You two make a great team.
I greatly appreciated the “out of the shop” content; as a fellow farmer, the practical day to day debugging and maintenance is something I can, unfortunately, relate to !
Nice to see the cleaning guy in the comments! Don't take this as a failure, it is a learning experience. And I subscribed to help the poor guy out!
Hey guys, to show the Good with the Bad, and asking your audience opinions on what happened is Awesome!
No one person knows it all, the ability to learn is the Key to success.
No different than one shop asking another, and sharing info.
I always drill a small air relief hole in every thermostat on a new rebuild. Never have to worry about air pockets and the tiny amount of coolant that flows past a closed tstat is negligible
Saw a blog post once where someone compared different thermostats, and only found maybe one that did not leak. Could have something to do with this (or just manufacturing costs haha).
They used to have "jiggle pins" in the OEM small hole in new thermostats...
The jiggling pin meant bubbles could not bridge the hole....so the bubbles travelled on through the system.
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq that was new for me, thanks!
You could spill port time it and verify the start of injection. It is possible the pump was marked with the factory timing advance and you are supposed to install it at TDC thus doing it the way you have you have double advance. That would have put it in the range though that it should have had starting issues particularly when cold. That one spot on the cylinder does look like it is firing on the liner and that makes me wonder if it isn't a turn out of time and it just happens to have a small enough cam that there is no overlap so it will run like that. 24deg+ pump advance seems like an excessive amount for that engine. I feel certain the 24 is the full advance and timing should actually be less the advance when mounting the pump. Also might as well check ring gap and piston clearance as a too tight bore will of course cause this issue as well. It is common for people to get the liner o-rings mixed up on the Deere engines and the o-ring will swell enough to cause the piston to seize. A bore gauge check will tell the tale. Also be sure your injection lines are on the pump correct for the firing order and direction of rotation. you could easily get fouled up there too.
I feel the pain. I put a 383 in my rig and it just smoked two cylinders out of it within 3 months. Looking at all the data logging, it shows there should be no reason for the damage but its there clear as day. I need to start a YT channel to pay for repairs...
So good would love to see a longer video of the cleaning guy share his knowledge with us
Thanks again for a great video. Interesting to see it run right again.
Good luck !!! You’ll figure it out! Really enjoy the content.
Sorry to see this has happened to you guys.
I know that you will figure it out.
Thanks for sharing.
Take care, Ed.
Always a good idea to check pump and injectors on overhaul. Dont think it is timing related. We have ran 40 degrees on 426 pulling motors with no problems. Check block counter bores. It is always good insurance to install repair sleeve to prevent coolant leaking. Don't think it was coolant or oil related. Just remember you bought a 210 grill and got a tractor!
When I went to school 65 yrs ago tractors were a very special piece of machinery. Our first tractor on the family farm was a 1948 farmall M .I thought I was a big shot when I got to do field work with it .I can not imagine what my dad with think of a John Deere 94 R . Great video enjoyed all those tractors and young future farmers 😀
I grew up in a 210 . I don’t know about your dads but ours had the loudest turbo of any tractor I’ve driven, and it was a muffler not straight pipe .
Hello, I just found your channel and really enjoyed the attention to detail of diagnosis. Guessing sometimes makes a bad situation worse, and not going down that path is the sign of a true craftsman. I'm not sure where you guys are, but I'm in Ohio and just started following.
Had a very similar issue on a Perkins engine I rebuilt some years ago, that would bind up on full power and stop. It would run light load no problem and would restart when cooled. it turned out to be chromium rings, running in chromium liners. One or the other should be of a different metal, cast iron etc. I was given non original parts from different suppliers, instead of matched ones. it’s a real bummer when you’ve taken a lot care, like you do.
Awesome video, I love this kinda stuff
I have seen a similar outcome due to the piston oil cooling nozzle being blocked. Bearings are usually toast as well.
Nice work and I feel your pain and frustration!
Thanks for sharing 👍
sorry to see you engin didn't hold up. hop you find what caused the failure. i have rebuilt a 190xt,185,and a 8030. i did not see where you did anything wrong when i watched you videos from when you put it together. good luck i will keep watching.
As a farmer, I feel your pain. Full-length engaged.
When you first posted the teaser on this, my first response was that it was fuel related; primarily based upon the video from your initial cold start. At that time I was thinking over fueling washing down the a cylinder but a timing seems more probable given the damage
This is so excellen! I love your cleanliness, and calmness. I would say 11,5 and i would to.
Love the tractor content!
Good luck. Thanks for the videos
I love your videos. I look forward to the next video!
It will be interesting to see what the problem is. I am looking forward to watching the tear down
Keep uploading and I’ll keep watching to help pay for that 2nd rebuild!
I'm going to guess you'll find a couple broken piston rings. BUT, make sure you check for electrolysis erosion around the cylinder liners. I had a one-ninety XT years ago that was getting water into the oil because of that. As I recall the shop used some JB Weld to build up that eroded area and it ran fine till I traded it off.
Well, at least this provides good content, which might attract more viewers. At some subscriber amount having a vehicle you own fail, would become a positive event, since the ad revenue would dwarf the repair costs.
At some point, but we aren’t there yet 😂
I have told everyone that I share you all with and I have subscribed the day I found you all. Well I am going to enjoy your fixing this old good piece and we all are sorry to hear this and we hope that you are able to save it, we are praying for you and your dad/families always included also! 😉
I just found you guys today. Your "Curse Of" videos are must see for tractor owners and mechanics. My nephew is a younger version of Jim. I sent him the trilogy and subscribed to you because you are a hell of a teacher. Thanks Men!
You guys have a blessed relationship.
I watched the second rebuild, and it makes sense that some of the injector pattern is on the cylinder walls. The injector timing is so advanced that the piston is two inches from TDC when the injector fired. Hindsight says the injector pump should have been returned at the discovery of the 180 out condition. A good mechanic always questions their own work first--sometimes to their detriment.
Awesome video thank you.
Had that happen on an Oliver 1600 one time. Old timer that I talked to about said it probably spun a main bearing and when we tore it down it he was right it spun a main bearing.
Nice work
I really feel sorry for your dad. Nothing worse than completing a personal project and something going wrong afterwards.
I really enjoy this channel you guys do amazing work !!! My first thought was pistons and or ring gap since everything else in a engine as far as bearing clearances usually gain clearance with heat not so much with cast iron blocks but when pistons get hot they expand and if your P2W clearance is to tight they will seize in the bore. I’m sure the piston to wall clearance was within spec so it seems like something is overheating those pistons like detonation and or afr being to lean. Either way I know you guys will figure it out !!!
It’s actually really cool seeing the injector tester and seeing how the fuel sprays into the combustion chamber.
NOOOOOOOO, why stop!?! lol. Good luck with repairs. Looking forward to seeing the next one
I hope you get your tractor back up and running I'm sorry to hear that you had engine troubles
I cut all my oil filters open. It's great indicator of engine longevity.
Since I first seen your videos I subbed and hit the bell for all your content. I honestly wish I lived closer to your shop, it's hard to find a good reliable honest machine shop around here
That's awesome that you guys get to work together.
I love the tears on the cleaning guy.
Love this kind of stuff.
Love y’alls videos.
If y’all ever end up wanting to expand any parts of your operation to the Austin area, I’m in.
love the thumb nail art - Black and blue - hammered again!
please keep posting these type of video
It's amazing watching a master at work...your old man is awesome
I'm very interested in what you wind was cause of this issue. Friend of mine has twin fully rebuilt detroit 671 in his boat and after a few hundred hours, his cyl bores look extremely similar. Keep up the great videos guys!
Best of luck to you guys!
Just found your channel, and the prior re-build on this was the first I watched. You guys seem to be extremely skilled machinists and engine builders….but your main “thing” is farming? I appreciate the content and approach to the videos…very educational!
Can't wait to see the next vid
Good luck on that one!
Farthest cylinders away from the water pump are scored the most . Check your impeller and clearances in the water pump . Make sure the impeller isn’t a spun on shaft
Comment left to help support the rebuild.
My thoughts
1. Might be a ring gap issue but I’m banking more on the piston to bore being too tight. If the ring gap was too tight I would think a ring land would be broken off as well. Plus motors don’t lock up super tight from just rings. If this was a non OE rebuild kit I’m gonna bet the pistons aren’t manufactured of the same material or weren’t manufactured to OE spec.
2. Not a bad call to check the pump out.
2a. Know where your pump is set at and where it should be. It might have been “turned up” by somebody in the past and if things are on tight side that’s a good way to hurt it.
3. Not sure on that engine but I’m wondering if some of those head bolts or rocker stand bolts are water jacket bolts and you forgot to use thread sealer.
Back during the early 80's I had the great misfortune of working on a fleet that included the Detroit Fuel Pincher in some of it's first iterations. Those things would do totally inexplicable things, sometimes. Unsupported cylinder walls were it's particular plague.
Jus watched last week your video of rebuilding this engine. Noticed you mic'd sleeves and pistons etc. This guy is very thorough and meticulous. Great job!
Now this, that sucks!
Is this a Reliance kit?
That new crane is going to make life easier for you guys. Wonder if the guys who rebuilt it will stand behind their work.
The earlier comments on injection timing seems logical. Other thoughts would be a quality control issue with the rebuild parts. Seems every supplier is having issues
I admire your knowledge and your personalities
Yboth are very Interesting
Nice ! Easier than splitting a John Deer I think . Thanks for sharing .
Great video!!!! 🎉
Agree with the ring gap as the symptom, and +1 that it could be caused by a partial oil blockage, would like to see the con rods to see if there's blueing, but could also be something restricting the exhaust flow at the rear of the engine. Lastly, could there be variable injector pressure distribution meaning that the back two are running weak?
I'd give anything to be able to work with my dad again. You don't know how lucky you are!
