Really interesting watching you with this project Evan , your so methodical the way you go about fixing things .
Thanks for sharing with us Evan, glad you are in the back together mode with Allis. We will be watching closely. Stay safe . Fred.
Great video .Googled allis chalmers d17 service manual pdf and clicked on linkAlis-chambers-service manual ac-s- d17 . It listed a bunch uf torque specs . It called for 70 - 75 ft lbs for lift arm asmy to rear transmission. Looking foward to next video.
Funny story I need to share watching this…I grew up on a farm and was a real Tom boy helping with everything outside from the animals to driving tractor/harvesting. One time I was helping Dad tear the front of a tractor off and I saw something in the front of the tractor housing, I picked it out and asked ‘What’s this?’ He said a dead mouse, I threw it so hard it stuck up on a rafter in the shed.
Watching you put this together reminded me of that and I chuckled like my Dad did after that joke. Great job on restoring the tractor, keep up the good work
His wife Rebecca can relate to that story! 😂
Rural man here. I'm very excited about the re-build of this tractor, although I understand totally the time it's taken. I doubt anyone who lives in a rural area and does DIY, doesn't take time to do projects. They pile up. Some are simple, some complex. It's fun though, which is what matters.
Evan, I understand you wanting to paint individual assemblies, but all tractors, dozers and machines were painted once assembled. (and the paint put on thick helped to seal from leaks!)
This grandma of age 89 enjoyed every moment of this!!! You planned it out well without us knowing , but knowing you Evan there isn't a thing I have really seen you screw up on except that side yard of your new big work shop...remember the day you knocked the drain post down?? We remember...and wont forget it!! Great POST!
So pleased to see your post. As a 83 yr old Grammy I enjoy watching this fine couple as they together tackle making their dream life take flight. And they are young enuf to have many many more quality years enjoying life.
I’m happy for you to finally begin to put tractor puzzle back together, making old stuff new again! 👍
God bless 🙏🏼🇺🇸
This is so cool! Amazing that you know how to do this. Normally I have no interest in engines but restoring an antique tractor has really held my interest. Thank you Evan!
Awesome job Evan way to go man so cool rebuilding the old tractor
I bought my d17 16 years ago. The lift arms wouldn’t hold and would over fill the transmission when using the 3pt. I never tore it apart to fix until I ran across your videos. Pulled it into the shop today and started. Thanks for the great videos
One of my favorite episodes, that's a really cool tractor.
From my experience working in hydraulics for 14 years on fighter aircraft, you should have oiled the seal in that hydraulic actuator and soaked the backup rings in hydraulic oil before assembling the actuator. Also some oil on the cylinder wall to allow it to slide easily without binding up. I would have tested it before installing to make sure it's operating without leaking. Chances are that the seal rolled during assembly since everything was dry when assembling. Let's hope I'm wrong and it's working good.
You seem to be a very accomplished mechanic or spend an inordinate amount of time researching the equipment your working on!!
Exactly! I don’t know which method Evan is using, but either way, this is really impressive!
Fascinating to watch for some crazy reason it is interesting to watch this being cleaned up and put back together. Good luck
Just a tip...if you have bare metal sitting around your shop waiting for assembly/paint, Shoot it with some self etch primer to prevent rust in the short term. You can prime right over it when ready.
I would have liked to see you noodle thru that cobblers weldment repair of the casting break. I probably know why you didn't (let sleeping dogs lie). But man - that is a mess. It would have made good content. Consider for the future. Us old guys enjoy watching the creative, elegant solutions you young fellas come up with. 😊
Great to see it going back together
Finally, I bet your happy to get that done. Can’t wait to see it back out in the field. 😊
Hi.... Evan, thank you for showing your video homestead 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 bye 👋 👕🐔🐓🐣🐥🦃🐕🐈🐐🐄🐖🐝🌱🌺🌹🌻🌼🌸🌷🏡🎥👍👍👍
You’re at the top of my watchlist with this rebuild! This definitely needs to be in a playlist because I would watch it again in its entirety
The more I watch the more impressed I am with your wide range of mechanical and land management skills. Very impressive. I have a whole new respect for the work ethic, knowledge and skills a successful farmer needs. 👍🏼😁
Looking good! That original bearing is a 1207 c/3 single roller bearing. The numbers indicate the size the letter indicated what type of bearing. And for installation you can heat the bearing in the oven. 230 degrees. If it gets hotter than around 250 it will start to change the metallurgy.
You are quite the one man band Evan. Seems there are a lot of old tractor enthusiasts loving this series so its good you have its own playlist.
You're a very smart talented man to put that all back together.
I'm really impressed how clean and organized your work space is. No wonder you are successful.
FINALLY , OLD TRACTOR VIDEOS ! 🎉
On that lock ring pliers, tap the center pin with a hammer and punch, that should tighten it up so it's not loose, start out easy and check as you go so it doesn't get too tight.
It's nice to see the Allis going back together.
I racked up some good hours on a D17 and a D15 in the 80s. Spunky little tractors for sure.
Looking good! Those pliers made it look so much easier! Proper tool for the job! 👍
Fantastic cometography and narration. Crazy to think you are doing all this work and filming and editing by yourself. I know there is a lot of time in doing all that, let alone just one of the three. Great job Evan!
Nice job Evan, really enjoyed watching the assembly process. Nice to have a facility/shop to do that in, I don't have one and I have a steering arm on my tractor to fix. Oh well, it just something we have to deal with. Thanks for sharing have a great remainder of the week.
Aaron, On page 85 of the D-17 shop manual in the last paragraft it states that the 1/2" capscrews are to be torqued to 70 - 75 foot pounds. Tom.
Enjoying your video Evan on rebuilding the Ac D17 tractor .
It looks like your new PTO seal was a CR seal and your old one was a National seal.
Hi, Evan! You continue to amaze me. Love your videos.
Good job
...LOOKS GREAT, NICE WORK, KEEP WELL AND SAFE...
Can wait until it finished great video
Contributor David is a Rock Star!!
Your videos are like fresh air after a long day of work.
You can rent a skid steer wood splitter attachment and it will crush rims like butter then all you have to do is throw them in a metal recycling bin and you might can get a wood splitter attachment for a tractor you can do hundreds of rims in a day with little work
Hay evan im a new subscriber and just want to say that i enjoy your content thanks for sharing can't wait to see your tractor in action
The different approaches to accomplish the same end result in engineering is always fascinating. That Allis I'd a marvel of engineering. Why the approach taken is likely lost in history,, but the end result is that it works and it works well. The only negative I ever heard about Allis-Chalmers was that they were had so much torque and set so high that they were apt to flip over backwards if one wasn't careful. I've used Allis tractors, but never had an issue. They are marvelous machines. Good job, Evan.
The only time I've seen an Allis flip over backward was when a hired hand tried pack a silage pile that he'd been told not to. He jumped clear, crushed the tractor. Don't know if it was a WC, WD, or WD-45. I think we got the D-15 to replace it.
Great job Evan. You can fix anything. Love watching your videos.🚜👍👏
Hi Evan, It is good to see you restore the tractor. Good vlog.
a pair of long bolts with the heads cut off and pointed would make putting the parts back together, you might just double up the pto seal looks like lots of room, it always feels good to get a project back together!! have fun from oklahoma
Hello Evan
Haha made in Germany. Great to see your unconventional way.
Greetings from Germany
Good evening Evan,looking great,From Steve
👍👍👍👍👍👌great job and detail on the reassembly!!!
Wow!! Evan!! I want to be you when I grow up!!
Looks good Evan will be nice see it running. Have a good day.
Wasn't easy but you got it done. If there is room in the PTO seal flange you could out another in.
I was going to tell him the same thing
love your vids
Hay Evan cool to se you restoring your old tractor can't wait to see it in action thanks for sharing
You should release all stress from the torque wrench & set it back to zero after using.Always store it at zero.
I have been looking forward to this series, jb
Genius
Keep working at it. 👍🏼👍🏼
Great job Evan everything looks great!
Allis-Chalmers great tractor every model
Very Good Work!
Everything looks okay, you might want to lube your seals as well as your shaft when reinstalling . It will go together easily!
Looking good looking good. Keep up the good work
Looking good. Can't wait to see move out on it's Owen power.
Nice to see your able to make some progress on the AC, I am sure it feels good. And when it goes back together without a hitch.
Making progress
Wow so interesting.
Good Job...Thank You for detailing all you do...really enjoyed your video...Take care and see you again soon !
Great video
Happy to see the Allis-Chalmers coming back together. I grew up driving Allis-Chalmers from that era, altho they were turnover tractors (aka tricycles). And I am even happier to see that yours is NOT a turnover tractor! And when you are done, maybe you will inspire me to fix the hydraulic hemorrhage on my Kubota.
Nice vid
Fascinating!
We appreciate your details in this project. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Evan , thank you for the info on the pole barn , electrical , appreciate it ! You are doing a nice job on the tractor ! Enjoy
It’s really getting there. Nice old tractoe😊😊😊
As always one of the best videos going.
Once you have that tractor finished you should put the case in the shop and restore it as well
It needs some love too. 🚜
on my D17 l just used two of the skinny seals in!!! worked just fine!!! l will be watchin!!!!
Fixing things and doing stuff on CVA.👍
Really enjoying your channel
good stuff
Ty nice job kudoes 👍🏆🏆👴🐕🚜😎
Good video ,a little tip you may or may not want to use . Wrap the splined with one layer of electrical tape so it doesn’t damage the o ring. Works well.
An induction heater would be nice in your tool kit for bearings.
You made that look way too easy.😊
Great build video Evan! Thanks for sharing!
Nice job! It’s good to see the venerable AC D-17 series I going back together. Seeing the instrument panel exposed lets me see the D series roots in our WD-45. Definitely the same family, or at least the same engineers. 😏
yes, it has a lot of the same parts as the WD-45
Great job!!
Another great video Evan! love watching any repairs to tractors. and ow they work out. like so many others have posted here I would like to see you take the play list of the repairs. and make one solid video of it pieced together? food for thought. thanks again for sharing. ECF
Nice job
I gotta give you credit, I’m not sure I’d have invested this much time and money into this tractor but it seems to be working out for you. For those press fit bearings in the future but them in the freezer for at least a couple of hours prior to installation. Even if they only shrink a half a thou that should be enough to make them slide on easier.
Freeze the shaft or heat up the bearing sometimes u have to do both
Good vid Evan. Enjoy tractor work. I like that Allis D17. Go a little easier on that permatex. To much is not good
I think its safe to say this is something I never want to have to do.
You make it look so easy. That looks like a series lll..by the decals & muffler, it's oblong, right?I have a series ll, it has the round muffler. I was thinking series lll and series lV had the white decals. Anyway, they're good old tractors I grew up with mine. Grandpa had it, then my dad, now me.
It is a series one. It has the wrong decals on it. And the hood has been cut open to fit the oval muffler.
so seeing the shorter seal. lots of times I see people using double seals.
Its good to see the progress of the tractor going back together have you kept track on how many work hours you have on restoring the tractor so far and for an end result on hours when you complete the project. I have so many projects I need to do I have a massey ferguson tractor that has fuel issues I have been trying to figure out I have a 9n ford tractor that needs a head gasket and a kubota mower that is a wiring mess projects I have been planning on starting for a while maybe one of these days I'll get them started or maybe finished up
Off the subject but I saw that if u put 2x4 fence over ur hay feeder they can’t pull so much out and waste it. Might save u some clean up time.
If there’s room you can double stack those seals
