Well I got one on an auction today and took my 45D to pull it to its new home. It has a new reel and a new pick up chain/belt but the engine is stuck (it won’t crank over) and it has really old gas in the gas tank. Any advice would be appreciated!!! I’d like to get everything working to “play” with it if it’s possible… So here comes another project!!!  Edited: I changed the title to 60A ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

That's an interesting combine. It has a pickup head with a reel. I see it has duals on it too. That's a nice addition.

Is the pto shaft the same as a roto baler? I have 4 parts roto balers with the ptos… It also has a sickle bar under it.. I’m slightly confused about what kind of head it is, it has a tag but I didn’t get a picture. Got it from the Royal Bierbaum auction yesterday so there might be more pictures on there. https://www.equipmentfacts.com/listings/farm-equipment/auction-results/232812773/1951-allis-chalmers-60" rel="nofollow - https://www.equipmentfacts.com/listings/farm-equipment/auction-results/232812773/1951-allis-chalmers-60 ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

Same engine as a ‘B’ or possible ‘C’? ------------- I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science. |

I only have a online parts catalog. I don’t even know where the serial number is on the machine…  I know it’s missing at least a 4 belts so I’m going to need to cross them. ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

I have an original AC manual that covers operating instructions, special attachments, and repair parts book. Says it covers serial 93799 and up. I've had it for years and I'm never going to use it so if you send me a private message through the Forum with your mailing address, I'd be happy to send it to you. It's in good shape and complete for it's age.

This one is for 93799 and up, but it would probably have all the info you would need. |

Date Posted: 14 Jun 2024 at 3:31pm
| That would be a 60 A series machine, since serial number starts with A, I guess the A's were somewhat updated, don't reall know the difference in the actual machines, but they are different and I don't think there were nearly many 60A's built |

Well I think I’m going to put the pto on it for now and than eventually get the engine to run (overhaul and clean it up). Does anyone know of a stock of parts for the 60A? It needs 3 pulleys, elevator door (rusted out), and a elevator chain. That’s what I seen so there’s probably more things that I haven’t notice…. ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

Well I have good news today, I was cleaning the walkers out and found the 2 pulleys and the rest of a slip clutch all in the coon crap so praise the Lord!!! Now the one slip clutch with 3 spring is missing 2 out of 3 springs and the single spring one is missing it’s spring. So now I need to repair and replace parts of the elevator chains (salvage what I can) and figure out belt sizes. Also I think the draper needs to be tightened because it won’t turn unless I hold it tight. I also tried to get the engine clutch to move but knew instantly that it’s going to have to be replaced because the springs are falling out so I’m really hoping that it’s the same clutch as the tractor B…   ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

That looks like the original 1936/37 model combine, called the All-Crop Harvester (no model number). Sad condition, but uncommon nonetheless. There would be some parts interchange with a 60A, but not many.

I use this website http://www.vbeltguys.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.vbeltguys.com/ They cross reference Allis part numbers, and they're cheap. I've been running their belts on one of my 60A's for 8 years with no issues.

Not many differences that I know of. The grain bin has slightly more capacity due to it having a V shape in the bottom of the bin to accommodate an auger to convey grain to the unloading auger. Previous 60s just had a sloped bin floor to funnel grain into the unloading auger. 60As also have a lever actuated jaw type clutch to engage the unloading auger, where the 60s had a knob that must be turned to engage a dry disc clutch, and they notoriously slip when worn. A 60A brochure says they improved the cylinder/header drive gearbox on the 60A, but I don't know what that entails.

So I’m running a grain cart for my brothers and sure enough I found another possible all crop in a creek. Reason I say possible all crop is because im thinking it’s the older style round back….

Could someone post a picture of the “screens” and what location to find them? Just thinking that maybe one of the two maybe has a screen still and I’m not quite sure what they look like… I don’t have any for the good combine (I think it did oats last it harvested). ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

Yep, that looks like two of the earlier combines. Someone must have really hated them or they survived a tornado. If there is a perforated sieve/screen, it will be basically at the bottom of the RH rear stack of racks at the rear of the combine. Stand outside looking down the straw rack (sideways/across the combine) and then go down to the bottom of all the racks/trays. There may be a removable one at the very bottom - or there may not. They are commonly removed or some crops like oats didn't require an additional screen. I wonder if the screens are the same size as used in the later All-Crop 60, 66, and 72? ------------- 1939 B, 1940 B, 1941 WC, 1951 WD, 1952 CA, 1956 WD-45 |

I have an odd request...would you be able to get the serial off this combine? It's in front of the grain bin stamped on top of the angle iron frame. There aren't many of these 1935-1937 All-Crop Harvesters left, and I haven't seen a 1935 model to date, and only two 1936 machines. Several 1937s, however. Very cool that you have two of them there, even if the condition is poor.

The tailings elevator chain should interchange, definitely not on the clean grain elevator chain, however. They are larger buckets on the early model. I don't believe the pto will interchange either, or at least not easily. I know the slip clutches are different, as well as the way they attach to the gearbox. You could possibly modify the shaft to work, just depends how much time you want to spend.

What are the specs on the rod bearings and main rod bearings? I want to make sure they are standard so I get the right ones the first time. I’ve got 3 sleeves out plus an ER visit yesterday and things are looking good on the block, I haven’t found any cracks yet. The last sleeve (cylinder number 2) is broken up from water freezing and is being very stubborn to remove. I’ll most likely have to replace that rod from beating around it. The ER visit was because I was hammering that sleeve and something slipped (I think the piston broke loose) and the hammer ended up on my left thumb, it popped my nail pretty much off and I thought I had broke the tip but it didn’t… Praise the Lord!!! ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

It’s been awhile since a update but I have been working on it every time I get a chance… I did get all the sleeves to remove and I got the valves off the head, ended up shattering a valve guide but noticed another was broken before (never seen that before). Did get them to come out though. Need your advice, do I go ahead and replace all the valve guides or just the two that are broken? I’m putting all new valves if that makes a difference… Also found that a Kohler K321 intake valve is very close to the b125’s, found that kinda interesting. ------------- 1955 AC WD45 diesel with D262 repower, 1949 AC WD45 |

Glad I’m not the only one thats looking in the woods when operating tractors. I had thought I seen one but don’t think it’s a all crop.
