Part 1 of 3 When buying a vintage Simplicity or Allis Chamlers Garden Tractor

[ftaboyable]

Hi guys , I have Allis Chalmers B 10 It have bad Bevel Gear Box and I am looking for place to buy rebuilt kit bearings and seals . Thanks

[eatyerbeans]

I'm pretty sure I have the shorter steering wheel shaft on my B-1 - it is a pain in the neck to get the hood open sometimes.

Hi guys, I have a 1965 Allis Chalmers BIG TEN and I was wondering why my bevel gear box wines loud? Any help on this, thanks guys.

I have a 1971 Allis Chalmers 310. It runs great and all but there is rust in the gas tank. What should I do?

[ZippoVarga]

@Dman9195 Hey Dman.....Take the tank off the tractor, throw some nuts and bolts in it and shake it around to break up the rust, then clean it out real good with mineral spirits or a little gas. Then, if you want, you can get a gas tank lining kit. It's a chemical coating that protects the tank.

@Tyler2clark Hey Tyler! You have me stumped my friend! The newer models operate differently than my older machines. I have sent you a PM on where you can go to find the answer to your question. Sorry I couldn't help you directly!

I have a 64 Landlord its the 314. with the 9hp 23d Motor. It was a one owner machine since 64 and i got it in October,2010. it came with the original snow blade, mower deck, rototiller and matching lawn cart. I think it has bad clutches it starts slipping in high gears going up a slight grade. can the clutch be adjusted or that should i do???? also where do you get the sweet ag tires

I lucked out with the gear lash on my 1970 Landlord. But, I did have a buggered keyway on the slip pully side. I would up doing a slide through of the same shaft :borrowed from the B10 graveyard. Thanks for the info.

Very helpful vid. I'm starting to put my landlord back together and would like to know what kind or what weight and how much gear lube do i use for the bevel gear box? Thanks

[ZippoVarga]

@dalecool06 Hey Dale......I personally use Valvoline Synthetic 80 w90. Amsoil is also a great manufacturer of synthetic oils. I use the same in the tranny.

just one tip on my cub cadet i just had to run a new ground to the voltage regulator now it charges amazing

[ZippoVarga]

Some of the older Starter Generators have to be cross circuited to "degause" the armature before they will start charging. It all depends on the set up. You got lucky there my friend! A Good charging system is priceless!! Thanks for the comment!!

[Bobbymitchell10]

yeah i hate having to charge the battery every 4 starts it gets annoying but yeah just ran a pice of wire to the reg and got 24 volts at the gen at full throttle

[More350Power]

Thanks for sharing the info!

[ZippoVarga]

Right on 350! It's what I love doing!

[ZippoVarga]

Sending you a message thorugh youtube.

[GarrettJDB]

i just thought of what you said go in an x pattern on my 728 it usually only works in an x pattern when shifting the gears

[dangeroustoys56]

Nice! Got some nice machines there and some great info.

Ive had first hand experience with those starter generators- my 70's simplicity had no wiring on it when pop bot it- we took it to a shop that 'thought they could fix it' - well after blowing up several regulators ( not cheep) and trying to charge us for them- we sed " we're done with you guys- we're taking it back".

After some figuring out, we managed to sort it out ourselves and have a decent running tractor.

[ZippoVarga]

Most of the time, the Starter Generator is fine and just needs a quick cleaning then you usually have to jump the field to the battery to degause the armature. Typically you're in business after that. There is a great tech publication on Simpletractors on how to troubleshoot the Starter Generators. It's by Al Eden and it is a very worthy read.

[dangeroustoys56]

The 1st simplicity i bot was fine ( after we fixed it)- this one now - well the guy had the motor all torn apart- i didnt want to get into that mess, but its complete.
