| i am having problems with my early allis Chalmers wd. i think it is the governor. i have to start it by putting my hand on the carb for the air intake. i got the tractor as a bucket of parts sitting outside and ive gotten it this far so i am making progress on it. i got another radiator from another tractor and it is a pressurized one and it will over heat if i have the cap on sometimes should it be a non pressurized radiator? |

Make sure your choke is closing all the way. ------------- Looking at the past to see the future. '53 WD, '53 WD45, WD snap coupler field cultivator, #53 plow,'53 HD5B dozer Duct tape.... Can't fix stupidity. But will muffle the sound of it! |

| Make absolutely sure the choke plate is all there. Sometimes the spring loaded flapper valve is g-o-n-e. |

Set the picture height to 480 and width to 640 when uploading and then they won't be bigger than the screen when the text is a readable size. Gerald J. |

I'd run a compression test, you might have a blown head gasket.
------------- 3 WD45's with power steering,G,D15 fork lift,D19, W-Speed Patrol, "A" Gleaner with a 330 corn head,"66" combine,roto-baler, and lots of Snap Coupler implements to make them work for their keep. |

| you should be fine with either a pressurized or non-pressurized radiator. That shouldn't make I overheat. You've been given good advice by great mechanics. Check what they suggested then post back what you find. |

Could you have your choke rod connected backwards? We accidentally had the bracket the connected the choke rod to the choke plate flipped 180 degrees. Drove me nuts for a while. I couldn't understand why the tractor would only start with no choke and would require choke to run. |
