Hi all,
I have been having a problem with my 1954 CA lately where the oil line (actually two separate lines converging into a T) going into the top of the governor keeps popping out when I adjust the throttle. I'm not sure if the fitting on the end of the line is bad, or if I am missing a part. Is there supposed to be an o-ring or something on the end? I have included a picture -- you can see the whole governor is wet as this was taken after I popped the line back in after it had been leaking for a bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

pretty sure it'd be a 'compression' style fitting.Maybe the brass insert is missing ?? kinda curious about the blue 'undercolor'...

Is it the famous missing blue, from someone's ford emblem? ![]() Anyway as Jay said, might be a worn out, cracked, or missing brass ferrule...

Are you saying one of the small lines is popping off or the metal stand pipe, below the tee, the linkage pivots on is popping out of the housing? I am thinking it sounds like you are talking about the stand pipe coming out of the housing.

The top nut? Maybe an optical illusion but that nut looks like it is cracked. If so, a new nut and ferrule are needed and maybe trim back the line just past old ferrule. Also check threads on the body of the fitting

The first thing you might want to look at is to see if the T is turning as you move the throttle lever. If that happens that can explain why oil is leaking - the moving of the T can wreck the ferule on the line that comes out of the side. I had that same problem on my D15 several years ago. The T and governor linkage were rusted together. Took everything apart, cleaned up, reassembled and has not had a problem since.

Yeah, I mean the standpipe coming out of the housing. Will look to see if I can find a replacement ferrule.
I am also curious now that another poster mentioned it, is the blue not normal for allis tractors? I thought it was a primer or undercoat for the orange. It's everywhere on this tractor. |

Blue is definitely not normal primer. AC used a yellow primer on motor and castings. Also, look at the blue overspray on the radiator, from the factory, there would only be black paint, on the radiator...

The standpipe (actually called pivot pin in the parts book) is supposed to be a pressed in fit in the housing as far as I know. No ferrule or threads at the housing end, at least on the one that came out on me. You can try removing the linkage and oil lines. Remove the pipe/pin and with a sharp prick punch make a number of punch dimples in the area that goes into the housing. Clean/degrease that area on the pipe/pin and the hole in the housing. Reinstall the pipe/pin using some Loctite bearing retainer or Loctite 660 Quick Metal on the dimpled surface of the pipe/pin and tap it into the hole. Let it cure before reassembling the linkage and lines.
I have done this before, but someone may be along with a better method.

I have rebuilt several covers with this problem and I have a few for sale if interested. It has a new pivot shaft that is threaded into the cover. lselkriver@gmail.com

Someone probably painted it that color for a parade or something. In 1976 some locals got drunk and painted their tractors for the bicentennial parade. A red John Deere, white Farmall, and the blue Allis Chalmers WD that we ended up owning about 15 years later. And no, we didn’t re-paint the WD. We changed the oil, and sent it to the field to rake hay.
