      My grandpa was worse. to him a 12V battery that was too dead to start what it used to be in should still start a 6 volt engine, to which we would then spend who knows how long screwing with 'a weak starter' only to find out the "The new battery" in the tractor was the dead battery from the pickup/whatever that wouldn't start last time.

      And 90% of electrical problems now days, are the off the shelf condensers that come junk right out of the box. I've been using Blue Streak ignition parts. Better to pay a little extra than to do it over.
      It can't hurt to run a high output Pertronix coil either.

      Better than mine. Complains he has done everything to get it running yet obvious evidence around said object shows he literally hasn't even touched it leta lone been near it in who knows how long.
      That or its out of fuel and he cranked it until the battery was dead then walked away while leaving the key on (a week or month or more ago) so it's now 'dead' dead plus now has a ruined battery or set too.

    In 1955 when I was 6 years old, my Dad purchased a new WD45 on LP gas, (the LP tank was mounted in front of the radiator) and you could run it on either gas or LP. He also purchased other Allis Chalmers equipment. (3 bottom plow, tandem disk, 4-row cultivator, round bailer, and mower ). I sure loved that tractor and spent many hours riding sitting on the tool box, and learned to drive that tractor. I would love to see one with LP tank on the front and restored. Also, it had more power on LP than on gas. On LP it had a true 45 hp.

Us boys would disc and drag the fields at night till around 11. That’s when mom made us come back in and get ready for bed so we could get to school the next mornin.

    I've worked on antique tractors for almost 30 years and learned something from this. I never would have thought to check the nut holding distributor gear. Very cool. In regards to giving points a quick cleaning after you fool with them, use a dollar bill and run it back an forth between the points for a few seconds. The paper that a dollar bill is made of cleans oil and crud off em really good. The carb on that Allis was a Marvel Schebler not a Zenith.

Before the war he was a mechanic. He built and put together every car we had until the late 70's. He didn't buy a new car until 1979 and he traded back in immediately on a older used car until Grandma pushing him got two more new cars in 1982.

    That tractor brings back a lot of memories for me. I learned to drive on of those when I was very young. I love the sound of an Alice chalmers! Thank you so much for posting this video

    Such a beautiful design on the hood! I see why my old friend collected so many tractors! Nice work on the diagnosis!

    You are lucky to be able to spend that kind of time with your Dad. Treasure it. (Nice job, by the way)

    I enjoyed watching this video. Working with your father, reminds me of my father & I, I started tinkering on things due to him. He helped spark my interest with wanting to know how things worked, or just plain wanting to work with my hands. Quality time with family is the best.

    So, NOW we know the secret of your success: excellent tutelage! It's always so cool to watch a father/son project. Bless you both. PS I knew dad wasn't playing when he came out with the 4 lb dead blow hammer! :)

    Good for another 10,000 hours! Used the same WD 45 on our farm for 65 years and yes 90% of the "carb" problems
    were electrical . A lot of other tractors have come and gone but the old Allis is our one constant.

    dad stands there with a dead blow hammer just in case! i like the timing light hooked up to its own 12 volt battery since the tractor is 6 volt. someone less experienced would have chased this for a long time.

    Had a WD 45 on the farm growing up. Sweet,sweet little tractor's. Don't know the year of this, but ours seemed a little bigger. Also noticed that there is no water separator in the fuel line. Will help munches of bunches. Tractor's and open air fuel tanks love air change. Miss that time, sweet memories.

    Thank you again Wess and Dad. I don't know that I will ever have to work on one of those but hey now I know a little more about them. Have a wonderful day. I would love to see the 12v negative ground conversion you mentioned.

    You've got another subscriber here. Simple video, great explanation of how you found the issue and you didnt spend unnecessary time showing the details. Just like a Muskie video, but shorter!

    Great Video. Really like those old WD45 Allis Chalmers Tractors. They definitely had a unique sound and pretty decent power. Nice to see you and your dad get along so well. Looks like your a farm kid too. Thanks for the videos.
