Allis Tie Rods

OK,  I have orange blood and love Allis Chalmers but I got to say this:  Their tie rod system sucks!  I have a D-15 and wanted to adjust the front axles back in a couple holes where I think they should be.  Everything went really well until I got to the part where you adjust the tie rods.  Is there a trick to that?  I used heat, penetrating oil, force, lots of cussing, dirty looks, and everything in my shop I could think of and finally ended up ruining on and damn near destroying the other one.  What is the deal?  One guy told me to use an angle grinder and lengthen the slit on the tube end.  That didn't work either and besides it would look like garbage when you were done.  What is the best way to free up the tubes?

What i did on my B after i had done most of the  things you mention plus tieing it to a tree  and pulling with D/14 , I put it on piece of railroad iron and started beating with a one pound hammer When you beat on it  it will cause outside to strech  then turn with pipe wrench . It will tye  with getting brake drums of a B . Good Luck! 

On the sliding outer tube I just heat and make sure every bit that is in contact with the solid rod has been red hot. Then use pipe wrench. So far it's worked every time. They get never seize going back together.

On my 1955 CA which my dad bought and I have had it for the last 40 years the tie rods have not been a problem. The first 20 years we cut our hay, cultivated corn and moved the wheels in and out several times each summer for the different jobs we used it for. We would put just a bit of oil and they never seized on us. I bought a 180 3 years ago and had a awful job to get the tie rods free. Once I had them free I put anti-seize  on and now have a hard time keeping them tight. I have used gas to clean the tie rods clean and still have to make them very tight to keep them from sliding.
