Allis needs a face lift

[Nuzzy]

So, as stated in the Chatterbox, we recently picked up an older Allis Chalmers 912 Hydro. Since I can't leave well enough alone, and since the jeep is currently in a state of completion, here we go with a garden tractor build thread :redneck:


While I'm waiting for my new piston, rings, rod, and carb kit to show up, I figured I'd better give the rusty old snow plow some lovin'. After work I swung by Tractor Supply (oh how I love them!) and grabbed some primer and "Allis Chalmers Orange" rattle cans.


How it started

I think only two or three bolts survived intact during my disassembly. The rest snapped from rust abuse :haha:

Grabbed one of the big grinders from work to help speed things up.

No this isn't a bad pic... It was THAT hazy :eeek: My lungs suck right now.

Mmmmmmmm... Shiny...

After everything got primered and the grinding rust dust settled, I went to town painting.

Prolly did 4 or 5 coats. Would have been better if it was warmer in the garage, but hey, it's a fawking tractor :redneck:


I do have one big problem now though. I like how it turned out well enough that now I want to strip the tractor itself and paint the whole damn thing

Other things to come:

-Revamping fuel lines and electrical
-Fully cleaning/painting deck
-Possibly looking to upgrade alternator for...
-Eventually adding actuator(s) for power lifting implements
-Fabbing sleeve hitch for rear and various home brew implements like carryall and boom for rounds

Only if your rototiller has mogs. Otherwise, GTFO :fawkdancesmiley:















Seriously though, I'd like to see your rototiller. Can you dress it up in a naughty outfit and slut it around the back yard...?

The Garage
This is for your buildups and prodjects. from the new guy to the old guy.

I'm just following rules

 

[Nuzzy]

The allure of shiny was too great...

Bye bye decals

Took the whole hood to bare metal before primering.

Shoddy wiring has really become a pet peeve of mine. Thus, everybody out of the pool!! I'm redoing it all to be mo betta.

And sometime when I wasn't looking, the whole front end of the tractor fell apart :redneck:

 

[monkeyevil]

OMG tractor restoration.

 

[hwcurtice]

And not a single beer can or coffee cup from the local espresso stand in sight!

What is the world coming to?

Nice work there, Nuzzman! :awesomework:
