    I'm 65 years old, can't tell you how many "builds" and "re-builds" I helped my dad and uncles do in the tobacco barn using the exact methods you used here. If you lost or broke a part, you found it on something else and put it to use. Thanks for the memories!

      I hear you. I grew up on a horse farm & we square-baled 60+ acres. Dad’s hay cutters, rakes, tetters, balers and everything else were older than the already old tractors.
      everything would break & sometimes all at once. often times, we’d both be working on/fixing separate issues together. being in the square bale game, it was always hot as hell.
      it wasn’t fun, but I can fix and/or repair anything with a carb.

    That alternator addition and resistor at the coil looks like it was converted to 12 volts at sometime in the past. We did our WD45 in this manner and the original starter will spin it over much faster. Those old starters didn't seem to mind the extra juice, as long as you didn't crank them for a very long time. I am an old retired tradesman that was raised on a medium sized Midwest farm. Got my mechanic knowledge for 4 cyl on an AC model c. Rebuilt the engine myself when I was 12 or so.

    Man, it sure did bring a smile to my face seeing you do this one! First big engine project I ever did was with my Dad and my little brother on an Allis Chalmers B. I was 12 years old, my brother was 10, and the tractor had been my great grandfather’s…It had been parked for 35 years because of a broken oil pickup tube and spun rod bearings. It had the Quonset hut it was parked in fall in on it in the meantime. We were in 4-H and looking for a bigger project than lawnmower engines, so went down the the farm and drug it outta the collapsed shed, hauled it on home in pieces and started the rebuild. Found out the oil pickup tube in these are pot metal, so we ended up making a new one with some black pipe and a hydraulic filter we found at fleet farm. The engine was stuck tight, so we soaked it for months too. Had the crank turned and started putting it back together. Ours was a 1939 flavor, and was crank only with a magneto. Got it all back together a few weeks before the fair (because we took it to the fair as a 4-H project) and I’ll never forget the day we got it running. It was a Sunday, tractor dealer was closed, and the carb gasket was shot, and I mean SHOT. Cranked on it for hours and hours. My dad called us in for supper, so we let it alone and went on in and ate. After dinner, it was still light out, being mid June, I said, “I’m gonna go give it one more shot.” My pop told me there was no way it was gonna go, we’d just have to wait until the dealer opened to get a gasket ordered. Well, being 12 and all, I decided to go give it one more try. Damned thing fired up on the first half crank! I’ll never forget the look on my dad’s face when he and my mom and brother came running out of the house and into the garage. My dad was 35 at the time and had never heard that thing run. We got her painted up, new seat and new decals and took it to the fair in July. The judges didn’t know what to do with us, they were blown away, but no one had ever done something like this, so they gave us one of those big green and gold “over the top” ribbons. We took my grandfather’s Farmall F12 the next year, and now if you look in the 4-H catalog, antique tractor restoration is a category :) I’ve gone on the have a custom car shop in Wisconsin and my brother was a PR man for Hemmings Motor News for a while…and it all started with an Allis Chalmers B 😊 Thank you for all the videos Derek, I really enjoy watching your channels, and this video especially brought all the fond memories flooding back up like that Marvel Mystery Oil shootin outta those cylinders. Keep up the good work and I hope to meet you some day and say thanks - Koop

After 3 days of working, got it running and, as I didn't yet have a driver license, he towed the car with the tractor which I steered and kept running for lights and heat. It was well after dark when we got home and temp was in 20s so every little while Dad would stop, come sit in the car and warm up. That was one of those experiences that one can't forget.

    Derek, if it has a ballast resistor, 12v alternator and a 12 v battery, it probably has been converted to 12 volts. That starter might be happier with a 12v battery. 6v systems didn't use a ballast resistor so bypassing the resistor when using a 6v battery would give you hotter spark. I converted my 1954 Farmall "A" to 12v about 45 years ago. The 6v starter lover the 12v and it has been running great ever since until I parked it about 5 years ago. These old tractors never die.

    My uncle had one of these in 1964 on a Mississippi Truck Farm. He grew fruits, corn, potatos. My 12 year old brother was taught to drive it up and down the plot digging deep furrows. He promptly tipped it over by not keeping the wheels straight between furrows. It was not damaged since it landed in soft soil and the big wheels absorbed the fall.. A lot of gas spilled out and the hot motor smoked - but did not explode. They righted the tractor easily and it popped upright,. good as new.

    A friend in Iowa would buy old Deeres that were stuck and his method was to pull the head, put diesel in the cylinders and go by once or twice per day with a hammer and use the handle to give each one a strong tap. Sometimes it took a week or two but they would eventually break free. The guy was good and very patient.

    Hi Deric
    Me again from over the pond.
    I have something for you to help in this exact situation.
    I was taught by a old mechanic that renovated old army vehicles.
    Some had just been deserted and buried after damage in the 2nd world war.
    Now the trick i wish to share with everyone is this. When you have an engine stuck fast as this was with fluids inside the boars.
    Do this simple thing to free them.
    Heat up cooking oil to the max temp you dare and pour straight into the boars until full.
    Wait 10 mins and turn over minding you do not get the oil on you.
    As it will burn badly
    But it frees the engine as if magic.
    If it fails repeat keeping the engine as warm as you can while changing the oil.
    She frees right up.
    Regards Frank

    Helped a buddy pull a wd out of the woods about 12ys ago. Missing carb and exhaust so needless to say it was stuck. This was my first experience with Gibbs penetrating oil. A old timer friend of our pulled the plugs and sprayed the cylinders. We drove it home and unloaded it within 30min we were able to break it free by rocking it in gear. We just assumed it wasn't as stuck as we thought and he put it in service. He plowed with it in the fall and planted a small field in the spring. The next fall came around and it locked up solid while running like it was hot. He ended up pulling the head and all of the cylinders had so much scale and rust that the combustion chambers were completely full and packed by the pistons. We dingle ball honed it, slapped the head back on and its been running ever since, it doesn't even smoke. That experience sold me on the toughness of the A/Cs. Theres a reason we still see so many of them.
    But buy Gibbs, it smells good, works great, has 100's of usages.

I registered it for the road a drove it 70 odd miles to the family beach cottage & it never missed a beat on the whole journey! All I originally had to do to it was replace the clutch& pressure plate, other than that it served the family well!

    Very cool tractor! My dad had a couple John Deeres; an A and an H. I remember the A was a 1952 also. Both had the hand clutch. The A had a wide front end, which was kinda rare from what I’ve heard. Most of them were tricycle. The H was a tricycle. We used them on a small farm, plowing and disking our garden, cutting and bailing hay. We also had a Farmall A with cultivators and a plow that we used in the winter time. Every year for my birthday, we’d have a hayride. My dad would pull the hay wagon around the block with the old John Deere A, and we’d pick up half the neighborhood kids for cake and ice cream!

    I bought a 1953 with allis for 225 dollars and it was stuck. They had tried to get it loose but gave up. I cleaned the cylinders up best I could then set a block of wood on top of each piston and hit it with a 2 pound hammer. Hooked it to my truck and it broke loose. Pulled it up and down the driveway a few times then put it back together with the old head gasket that was laying on the seat. Used it for 7 years till it started dumping oil out both ends. Then we rebuilt it right and used it another 6 years before a friend thought he needed it more than I did!

True story. Sweet little B Derek. Can't wait to see what you do with it.

    My Dad had an old Allis Chalmers a lot like that one.
    It was the first motorized vehicle that I ever drove.
    I'm 71 now, and that was over 60 years ago.
    It had those big, solid steel, deep-toothed wheels on it for driving in mud.
    To 5-6 year-old me, that made it even cooler.
    I drove it across an 11 acre field and back...by myself.
    And there were kids who went to my school living on the other side of the field, and they all saw me do it.
    For a brief moment, I was the coolest kid in my school.
    Alas!
    My fame was fleeting.
    I was soon eclipsed by the kid who got the first Mattel "Varoom" bicycle in town.
