    Enjoyed watching you get this tractor running again Randy. The magneto troubleshooting was pretty interesting. Thanks!

    On the old junk I revive, I have never (ever!) had a carb work without at least a spray-can cleaning. For me, a bit of ether to see if she pops and then off comes the carb. I'm shocked (and jealous) at your luck! Thanks for another great video and thanks for the mag trick. I wonder why that works ......

    Maybe a lot of folks will pay attention to the correct, not to mention easy, proper method to start a hand crank engine. I knew a 90 year old man and life long farmer in the 1960’s that would pull his WC twice, turn on the Fairbanks and proud of it always starting on the first hot pull of the crank. PS, he never broke an arm either.

      A lot of people make it harder (and more dangerous than it needs to be)! Thanks for watching!

    LOL, I about fell out of my chair when that thing started on the crank and ran on all 4 cylinders!🤣 ...Then I remembered... back in the mid-1960's we had a '52 WD, a CA and a D-17.. all three of those tractors would start in the coldest weather imaginable, like 5 or 10 F., and most times on electric start. The D-17 was 12 v., but the CA and the WD were both 6 v. and cranked like they had a crankcase full of grease.😲 The saving grace was that impulse coupling on the magneto to give them a good hot spark every time! Allis-Chalmers for the win!!😄👍👍👍

    Yet another good job, well done. I also learned something I didn't know, that you could re-charge a mag like that. Thanks. Steve in the UK.

    Sir I have a 1950 allis chalmers model WD tricycle tractor exactly like that one been using it for over 30 years. Excellent tractor. You can still buy every part you need for it.

    My father had a AC power unit off of a AC combine. We put it on a blower to fill silos. If it didn’t start on the first two cranks you flooded it. Usual started first crank (1/4 turn). I am looking at a AC C to repair. Thanks for the video!

    Thank you for sharing the video and putting the effort in to get this WD back running again. I learned to drive with a WD very similar to this one. Granted, that was well over 40 years ago. Very fond memories of it and the use we had for it.

      I'm sure they have been replaced at least once. They would be in better condition if they had not sat flat for years.

    Hay I’m pretty sure when you check for spark on a engine you should only pull out one at a time it could damage the magneto

    The magneto only looses spark because of grounding, or the magnet has no magnetism. One can remagnetise the magnet or drag it around seriously. Notice Randy's got spark when he shifted to a lower gear. If your spouse won't pull ya'll around ya'll need to remagentise the magneto.

    I'm curious. The frame juts out forward of the cowel. What accounts for that design choice?

    • @Randys_Relics
      @Randys_Relics  21 день тому +1

      The engines sit down inside the frame rails, so the front bolster has to sit forward far enough that it doesn't hit the engine. On the later WD-45 diesels, the hood goes full length and covers that front portion.

    There is a hand clutch on that thing. Only use the foot clutch to change gears. Lot easier operation. How do i know? We had a 1949 WD and had it up graded to a W D 45.
