in search of allis parts.
We left the farm saturday morning and stopped by R Aiken's land of 107 tractors. We talked for a while, then loaded up another crankshaft for the WC, and a head for it, a "B" front end with some of the bushings left in it, WC rocker arms and pushrods, a D14 manifold to put on the WD head on the WC, a front pulley, a set of mostally new WC bearings (rods and mains), and he showed me how to fix the govenor on the C, then we yanked out a throwout bearing for my B.
While Rich and I were out and about, my mom decided that walking around 107 tractors wasnt as exciting as i thought it was and decided to take a nap in the truck. After a bit, Rich fired up a skid loader and we loaded it up and started unloading it into the truck. This made the truck shake and rock back and forth. That and the noise from the loader woke my mom up. In her semi-consious state she forgot where she was and thought she was back at the farm waking up to another earthquake.....
Now all i need for the WC are O-rings, Gaskets, and piston rings. Great.....
After that, we took off to go see DickL. We were way behind sceduel (sp?), so unfortunatelly we wouldnt get to see him, and would have to simply offload some parts.
After the beautiful block and head that Dick rebuilt and gave me, i really diddnt feel right giving him my old block, with cracks along the top, and a massive crack running most of the lenght of the bottom of the block, so i got another good block off of Rich and took that one. I hope dick doesnt mind :-)
I also found a non-cracked head unlike the one that came with the B, and a better crankshaft, and a better, less wore cam. So we took all this up to him.
We arrived and unloaded everything and snapped some pictures. Dick has some really nice tractors up there!!
We got home at 1:38 this morning. I got alot of permit hours in, which is great. It was a fun trip, but next time, id really like to get to finally meet Dick and some other forumgoers along the way.
I diddnt get as much footage as i wanted to, but here ya go, enjoy!!
Im not sure why, but i cant get the video to work. Thats in the post above this one. Sorry

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
