HENRY E NC said: (quoted from post at 10:55:12 05/09/08) A lot of A's had no electric to start with. Ig nition was mag. If your has a distributor it could be 6 or 12 volt. 6 volt generators are available and easy to install. I believe I see the bracket bolts in the picture. Soo if the beast is 6 or 12 volt and or distributor or mag and is 112 or 5 volt is all information needed to properly advice you. As I don't see a battery I have to assume its a 6 volt mag spark started by crank or if it has a starter the battery is somewhere else. I love it when a plan comes together. Nuff said Henry
It did not have a battery but it does now. That Pic was the day I got it. It is set up with 6v battery,ext coil,and 6v starter.
I took the Carb back off and it looked like there was some gunk on the pin that holds the float and it was causing it to stick. I cleaned that off and it seems to be ok now.
I started it again and now I am having a hard time keeping it running.
If I open up the choke(take choke off) it runs for a few seconds then stalls. The guy who had it before me had a clothespin on the choke lever and now I am beginning to know why, it holds the choke on at just the right level to keep it running.
I played around with the adjustment on the side but it does not help.
I also found out it smokes like a chimney..(white) and I tried to put it in gear and it won't move at all, as soon as I start to let out the clutch it tries to die again.
What the heck could cause that? maybe because there is limited power because it isn't running right? or could something be stuck in the tranny? If I engage the PTO it tries to move but still stalls. One time in one of the gears it started to move a tad but that was it.
I am trying to be patient but I keep finding more and more problems.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
