My grandpa farmed with WD's in the 60's because when my parents took me to the farm and I heard the silo running I hopped out of the car before it Even stopped and ran and rode the fender while he feed the cattle with a a schlegar feed wagon
I learned to drive tractors on a WC Allis Chalmers when I was 10 years old. Lucky I didn’t kill myself trying to reach a clutch pedal while holding on tight to the steering wheel. My leg was not long enough. Yep ! I pulled a few wheel stands on it.😎✌🏻🙏🏽🇺🇸
On the subject of our favorite - the Handyman jack - did you know that Tractor Supply sells a rebuild/repair kit for them. Just saw them the other day. Good video - I like that the ramp on your trailer is set up for narrow front ends.
Sat many hours on my grandpa’s WD. First tractor I ever ran. Probably only 5-6 years old when he had me try backing it out of the shed and about took out the chicken coop! It was another year after before he let me try it again. He put me on the riding mower for a summer to hone some skills… lol
The steps on the 190 bring back bad memories of falling off my Grandpa's 4040 and 4455 as a kid. Those were the only two Deeres with those goofy steps and I couldn't remember that as a little kid.
Man, you are in my wheelhouse with this one. Where to begin, the blades you reference were made at the Oxnard works in California. They are Hell for stout! Just wish they were 7'! I have an N.O.S. "ditching point" that I bought, (and paid dearly for) last June for one. Box blade ends were also available for them. Good luck with this one, looking forward to more episodes!
I think you talking adds character to the video. It makes it more personal and I get a chance to understand what you are going to be doing. I appreciate your narrative and it is just part of the reason I watch your videos. Thanks and I'll see you later.
I see you had a great childhood growing up with AC. I bet you worked at your local dealership just like I did. I started as mechanic, moved into parts, elevated to manager then eventually ended up as sales manager. Thirty five years before finishing my sentence at John Deere .
Ross i love your channel i just bought me allis chalmers wc tractor my very frist hand crack waiting guy aend pic of it got paid $300 never had one im young farmer two
My Grandfather had to of them and my parents one of them sitting in the barn that I live at, but was sitting there for over 20 years now that drove it a bunch times and three more antique tractors with it. It was good video again and keep showing more videos.
Good to see that Orange! I have a wide front WD (built within two weeks of the WD we had back on the farm when I was a kid). I would really suggest adding a three point system on there and the tractor will get used for a lot more tasks rather than sitting. Sitting is no good for tractors. ... Get a used pair of Ford/Ferguson lower three point arms, bolt the front ends to the L-brackets the straight hitch attach to (I think I used the farthest forward pair, maybe the second pair), then use strap steel down-riggers from the lift arms, one side drill a series of holes to change leveling if needed or buy Tractor Supply Kubota turn buckle vertical drops that are reasonably priced (I ended up swapping the hair pins for nylock nuts and bolts). A couple of Ford/Ferg arm and chassis bracket pins with short chains for sway control and you are in business for cheap. Vintage tractor parts sites carry those sway chains and pins for low cost but I'm sure you have something around the parts bins. Spray paint it all orange and it looks like factory! Since it looks like you have 12v on there I'd get a pair of LED module lights like I put on my Ferguson, super bright and under $20/pair.
Hope your project doesn't get too involved. Never had any experience with AC tractors...I grew up on Case and IH. You've got quite a variety along with your beloved Olivers!!!
My grandpa put me behind the wheel of his WD at the top of his ridge road. He was gonna follow me down off the ridge. He said don't push in the clutch because the brakes don't work and walked away. I was around 10yrs old. I hung on to that steering wheel for dear life. .
Ross, on those Knipex pliers, flip them around, you get far more leverage that way and the harder you pull or push, the tighter they get on the heads of bolts or nuts. AC and Farmall both had the best "quick hitch" styles.
Nice WD Ross! Nice and straight. Looks like the right fender is bent a little, but doesn't look to be torn up or rotted out. The old girl has done some work for sure though looking at the drawbar hole. Seeing a WD, 190 and 200 on your dads farm makes me wonder how the nut fell so far from the tree! 😂. The square cam bolts are 1/2". I made a tool for them by welding 2 sockets together. A larger one with the smaller one welded inside of it so its 1/2" both ways. Works great! Those Allis snap coupler blades are built very heavy, and a WD will never give one any wounds! I don't think a 100 hp would hurt one of them! You sure have better luck than I do with the high pressure injection lines, the ones that always seem to give me grief is the one against the engine so you have to take the whole thing apart to fix it. It doesn't matter if its a roosa master or CAV, it seems to be the inside one for me! 😮. How does Buddy react when you've been two timing him with another dog? My old King use to pout and be upset if he smelled another dog on me! Another good video Ross!
Kinda funny this is the video you post today! I am going to go “revive” my WD today. It’s bean sitting in the middle of a feild since August. So I decided to wight to do that until now, in the freezing temperatures. SMORT super smort
Be careful with those copper washers on the banjo bolts on the rosa/stanadyne pumps as their is a danger of over crushing the washer and bottoming the bolt on the rotor and locking up the pump. If it keeps leaking take the line off and carefully stone the banjo sealing surface. May be a slight ring keeping it from sealing.
Allis made a decent tractor, I just don't like them. I find them very uncomfortable to operate sticking my legs out in front of me so far for the clutch. My lower back is nearly crippled so that is a factor in that. Back in 2016 I got fed up with the crappy farm trailers and having to fix them everytime we needed to use one. I ordered an equipment trailer and just paid the bill when it arrived. It's been the best upgrade I have done over the last decade to make life easier.
32:02 Ross top radiator hose will close or collapse when it hot it will not let water go through I put piece pipe in then My wd45 was get hot when sup soiling. It took me a while to figure it out
Man that wd looks sharp I want one bad . I'm really starting to enjoy the Allis chalmers. my B is awesome I do all sorts of stuff with it . I'm rebuilding my grampas Allis g
You’re the winner! This is actually a WD with a WD-45 engine, or the other way around I could never remember. There’s also something to do with the bent gearshift versus a straight gearshift, but I could never remember, which is which.
@@rosstheolivermanIf it's straight, it was built as a WD. If it was built as a WD-45, then it's curved. The last year of the WD was also curved. Allis did dealer shop conversions of the WD engine tonproduce WD-45 power, and it's often done during later WD engine rebuilds. The biggest other difference is the hitch, Snap Coupler was optional on the WD, standard on the WD-45.
Thanks Ross for your tour of the farm show. Of all the UA-camrs that toured it you did the best job of showing us the show!
I don’t know about that 🤣 but thank you very much!!
I love the Allis Chalmers wd45 they are such a nice little tractor

We have a WD we bought in the 70's. It will always start 😅
Buddy always happy

I’ve seen that kit and I actually bought one one time but I don’t know where I put it 🤣

If you have aluminum scrap, try to knock off or cut out any iron bits attached, if not you'll get paid at a much lower grade price.
Pops has all the good quality tractors.
Great timing. My elderly neighbor has a WD 45 I'd like to get running for him.
Ok, that whole tractor loading and the trailer you used weren’t sketchy at all. 😎
When you dropped that trailer tailgate you took 2 dog years off poor Buddy's life LOL
🤣

Nice video Ross. The ole WD looks to be in good shape. Nice to see another piece of farming history being saved. Thank you for sharing.

Enjoy your videos. Glad to see a Allis Chalmers getting Repaired as they are 1 of my favorite brands along with Olivers.
Great video. Lived-in ind. Until 1982. Still have family there. In Monroe County. Stay safe.
Hope your project doesn't get too involved. Never had any experience with AC tractors...I grew up on Case and IH. You've got quite a variety along with your beloved Olivers!!!
cool AC video
Thanks!
I like all the tractors you collect, neat stuff!

Hey Ross good video the WD & WD45 was good old tractors.😊
My dad calls the old handyman jack a suicide jack😂
It’s definitely tried to kill me several times 🤣
I see your dad knows some animal noises to 😂
We had spin outs on a MF 595, they looked painted solid! Thankfully we never needed to move them.
Good job
BUDDY!!!!! Hello to you too, Ross!! 😊

It made the trip home without hiccup!

Dad had a WD 45 nice tractor for mowing and running augers.

You're not a moron!

Man that wd looks sharp I want one bad . I'm really starting to enjoy the Allis chalmers. my B is awesome I do all sorts of stuff with it . I'm rebuilding my grampas Allis g
Well dirk is taking a G apart now and I’m thinking it’ll be apart awhile lol
Currently working on a wd45 for a friend making it reliable
Cool!
I think Richard over at Oldfarmjunk101 has some F12, might even have that crank part for the Hart Parr.
Nice video Ross.
good looking wd
well you have the tractorhome for a while
My brother has two wd 45s
Orange sadness now Ross
The snap coupler, a farmer killer. AC had to stop selling it due to a ton of lawsuits.
Ross, is that a WD or a WD45? I was looking for the side plate on the block. Thought all WD’s had that, but couldn’t tell on this one.
You’re the winner! This is actually a WD with a WD-45 engine, or the other way around I could never remember. There’s also something to do with the bent gearshift versus a straight gearshift, but I could never remember, which is which.

The WDS and wd45 have dry sleeves don't they
My uncle in Nebraska has a unstyled wc for sale
What's the age on the house, Ross? Looks distinctive.
I had to completely dissacemble CA and D15 wheels. Now they are all greesed up.
Do you own a 1950 or a 1950-T? Can't imagine the1950 being a popular tractor.
The injection line gasket needs to be steel copper can’t hold the pressure.
What is the model# of the AC loader tractor?
It's a 190.
It's a 200.@@burrridgefarms
Oops sorry
The reason I know is because I bought that tractor new in 1973 and farmed with it for 33 years. 😁@@burrridgefarms
Oh my god,how dare you talk while you drive! You know people don't like it! Must I get Gretna involved. 😂😂😂
