I will continue the restoration, water damage is limited, i will work more on it tomorrow but it looks like this tractor ran just a few years ago, if it didn't have water damage or i had drained it sooner it would've been great but you live and learn. Number 1 5 and 6 have a little rust, number 2 is great and number 3 and 4 had alot of water and when it got cold in December it blew the sleeves, the pistons look great though lol. I'll need new valves and rods, the bottom of the rods were rusted bad,ideas on what needs repairs regarding that? Overall looks great crosshatching is chill prominent. No cracks, I've put stuff in the cylinders to break them loose.

I'm going to tear it down some more, more then likely fully and I'm gonna clean the block out and the head. Any ideas on that? I was thinking electrolysis??

electrolysis is great if you got the room / tank.. I have done that on smaller parts.. For larger cases ( blocks / trans / final drives) i spray them with oven cleaner, let it set 30 minutes and then high pressure water wash..

you had better magna flux that head with every thing re moved , we just sawed a bad 262d cylinder head up with the band saw at the machine shop to see what the inside of the casting and what the water jacket looks like. and see what mine and the other guys can get away with , my machine shop is doing one for some one for else also. their will have to be welded and pinned. i was just at the machine shop this morning and forgot to take pictures the cylinder head cross sections. if their is any crack under the valve seats its done for

Joey, These Allis experts are trying to save you time and money on this D17 Diesel tractor. Story : I had the idea I would like a Allis WD45 Diesel at one time about 10 years ago. I became friends with a member of this forum Don Bradley (rest his soul) He talked me down off the ledge several times about the Allis diesels. Back then he said you better have $5000 extra in your wallet to get a diesel engine correctly rebuilt. Now the price is double that! Not really surprising parts are hard to get! Experts on these are hard to find. Not trying to stop you on this project. But my guess is you may not be able to get your money back on this D17 diesel tractor. I just completed a little Allis CA. I bought it for $800 and probably put $4000 into it to have a light weight pulling tractor for fun. Regards, Chris and Cheryl

There are a lot of orange tractors that will cost a ton less and be much more dependable.
The biggest problem with the Buda diesels was if you didn't have someone that knew what they were doing do the overhaul, you could spend a ton of money and have serious problems after the overhaul was done. This is not an engine to learn on!!!

Jensales has a kit for a d262t, which would be for a d19 with turbo. https://www.jensales.com/products/ep-915121-allis-buda-out-of-frame-overhaul-kit-buda-d262t.htmlIf you look at the 8.25-1 kit for a gas d17 is $2500..
