I am having a problem with my Allis Chalmers 715 stopped moving, forward or backward. No loud noises. I was wondering if anyone knows a solution. My Allis Chalmer 715 Backhoe/Loader just randomly started to do this right after changing the fuel filters and installing off road lighting. Hoping you have some points of wisdom or help that you can share with me. I bought it used and it has been running fine up until this issue. The drive train spins and when i lift the back tires off the ground they spin as well. However when it is on the ground it does not want to move. Any help you can provide me would be greatly appreciated. Joe |

| If your back end turns freely when there off the ground and there is no noises then it sounds to me as your clutch has gone bad or possible linkage problem. just my thought. |

fluid level in fwd rev section of clutch pack . low pressure , worn clutches , bad o ring internally , plugged filter , pedal linkage to floor pedal out of adjustment , When the unit is in neutral and wheels off the ground there is enough torque transmitted through unit to turn rear wheels through fwd rev unit . ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

| It is magically working again, not sure what has changed. But after running her for a couple hours, now I am getting a weird sound in the pulleys. Not sure if its a bad bearing or something. But its in between the engine and the radiator fan, need to isolate the sound/area. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. |

Water pump, or alternator are the only outside things , belt could be bad also . Now behind the front cover are a few things but squeak from there / Adding extra lights could be putting a higher load on alternator causing belt to slip. ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

The fwd reverser in my 816 (much the same as the 715) had taken in water in the previous ownership and it would act a lot like you're describing. After lots of flushing and a new oil pump (old pump was badly scored and the seal was leaking) it worked like normal. On another machine with the same Borg Warner fwd reverser the flex plate between the flywheel and the converter cracked up enough to make the converter wobble to the point that the converter would no longer pull the pump. This would give slight movements to the wheels but not enough to operate the machine. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH.

Update: I was able to use her in the fall just fine before getting a flat tire. Replaced the tire, oil & fuel filters, and bad pulley. It ran fine before I ran her out of fuel again (epic failure). :) Bled the lines and started her up again. Drove her around for about 20 minutes and as soon as I put her under load, it chugged out and died. When I tried to restart it there was a terrible sound coming from the starter, which I just replaced. Now she will start fine, however will not drive forward or reverse. I've lifted it off the ground completely with the stabilizers and the front bucket and still nothing. We had this problem once before and a friend literally reached down and pulled up on the floating lever next to the seat and it engaged the wheels and ran fine. This is something I have attempted numerous times now, with out success. Anyone have any ideas? Very respectfully, Joe

Thank you Coke-in-MN. But before we had a chance to troubleshoot it, we found a pretty big leak from the housing that directly follows the oil pan. So we had to take the oil pain off to figure out how to seal the leak, it appears to be a bad gasket. I have the
parts and maintenance manual for the machine, but they are not very helpful for
a DYI-er like myself with little to no experience working on cars or machinery.
So I sincerely appreciate any help and advice you can give me. On that note, before the leak happened I put ATF fluid in the dip stick located on the left side of the machine above the crank starter. Can you verify what this is, type of fluid, and the amount of fluid this requires. I've read a variety of information that is quite the range. I believe that this is the transmission fluid dip stick, but I am not entirely sure. Additionally, could you explain to me what the different parts are from the front of the crankshaft pulley back. From what I have been able to gather it starts at the crankshaft pulley goes into the crankshaft, which then goes into the transmission?, then the gear box, then the drive train, to the differential, and then the brakes (which I also need to figure how to change or fix because they are horrible but still work), then back to the backhoe. Also any information on fluid types, amounts, and where to check them/add them. We are desperate to get it working beyond running for 5 minutes. We've already replaced the starter, oil/fuel filters, and a flat tire. Any and all wisdom you can pass our way is

I am hoping someone might be able to help me figure out what is going on with my AC 715 Backhoe. I recently ran her out of gas and when I restarted her after bleeding the lines the starter went and needed to replaced. While waiting for it to come in the mail, I replaced all the filters (oil & fuel), did a oil change, and put some atf fluid in what I believe is the dip stick on the left side of the tractor for the transmission since it was low. When the starter arrived, I installed it and it started up. However it now does not want to go forward or reverse, when it was previously working fine. I had this happen once before and a buddy of mine jump in the cab and pulled up on the differential handle and then it worked. I have repeated this too many time to count without success. I have also put links before to show you what is going on via a couple youtube videos I created for you to see first hand. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. https://youtu.be/tKQHVm5iqRE https://youtu.be/mljDW8ihbXE Very respectfully, Joe

The dipstick your talkin about is for the torque converter and it takes atf fluid. I don't know the quantity as I've never changed it and couldn't find it in the service book. The plug to check the transmission is on the right side if your lookin at it from the back of the tractor. Ours has 90 wt. in it. Sounds like your problem is in the torque converter. I just changed the transmission in ours and it's not a bad job. ------------- Ya cain't fix stupid. |

If the oil that is leaking is from the fwd rev transmission it's very likely from the oil pump that is driven by the converter. If the flex plate that the converter is mounted to is cracked then the converter starts to wobble...then the converter neck that propels the fwd rev trans pump gets damaged, the seal starts leaking and once the pump is no longer driven you have no pressure and no power to the wheels. You described a noise in the driveline...this would be my first suspicion. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH.

First off, thank you for all the suggestions. To further add to the troubleshooting process, I think it
is important to mention that when I took the oil pan off believing the atf
fluid leak was coming from the two nuts on the oil pan closest to the torque
convertor, which it did not end up being. When I took the oil pan off to
investigate further, I noticed that on the torque convertor it has a rectangular
gap roughly a 1/10" wide and 4-5" long that was not a crack but
appeared to be a manufactured part of the torque convertor. Since this is right
at the transition point between the torque convertor and the oil pan, it was
coming out and then down the oil pan misleading us to believe it was leaking
from the pan and not the convertor housing its self. There was no gasket in
this gap nor was one the ground, so we are not sure if one should be there or
not. While having the oil pan off, we replaced the gasket. Other than running
her out of gas and the bad starter that started right after we ran her out of
gas, there have been no weird sounds or problems. When the starter went I took the opportunity to change the oil, filters (oil & fuel), and top of the atf fluid which was low. After I installed the new starter she started up better than she ever has and with all the fluids topped off and new for the first time in probably many years that is when the atf fluid was noticed to be pouring out of the gap referenced above. Im not sure if it never did it before since it was low enough not to or if this is something new. When the old starter broke, I heard it and shut it off immediately. When I took the starter housing out, the metal half housing appeared to have sheared off and when I took the cover off the bottom of the torque convertor the broken fragments came right out. I inspected it and everything appeared to be fine. When I installed the new starter it started right up and that is when with the atf fluid topped it started leaking and wouldnt go forward or reverse. We had a problem once last
year when she would not go forward or reverse and a friend literally just
pulled up on the differential and she engaged and worked fine. Now she will not
even do that and seems to want to die when I put her under load with the hydraulics
when moving the loader bucket or backhoe bucket without hitting the gas. So we
are at a loss, with a limited budget and understanding of heavy equipment /
engines / etc.. I am desperate for any DYI (pictures, diagrams, steps, etc.)
help I can get. We bought her to save money, recently getting out of the
service for projects around our house. We need to get her going ASAP with fill
coming soon and our warm months here in Northern Vermont quickly passing.
So any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

There is always risk taking with buying and operating heavy machinery. Sometimes everything works better than expected and other times we have to spend time and money to get our projects finished. I would recommend you ask around for a referral to a good and yet reasonable mechanic with knowledge and experience on this type of power train. Mechanics that work on forklifts often run into this kind thing just to broaden the scope a bit. Just like it is with health issues...to get a diagnosis is the starting point. Even if you decide to remove components yourself you want to at least know your plan of action and what you are targeting under some expert guidance or you will just end up with buckets of bolts and parts along with frustration. If the repair isn't in the budget you might have to put everything on hold for a year. This may not all sound like the good news you wish to hear but it is what I would do in your circumstance.

Thank you Eric and everyone for your suggestions and wisdom. Thou my skillset may dwarf in comparison to most on this forum, I do feel confident in my ability to troubleshoot systematically if told where to start first. I have the 715 Maintenance Manual and Parts Manual for reference, however it leaves much to be desired for this particular issue.
So, if there are troubleshooting steps in order, that will help me help all of you, help me isolate this issue further please let me know. Once more I appreciate and value your collective knowledge, years of busting your knuckles, and help as we desperately work to get this machine operating once more. |

I'm not sure if you have the big manual for your machine but if you do it lists a number of pressure tests you can do - just like Coke was recommending earlier on. When you look at the fwd rev trans you'll see several 1/8" pipe plugs, these are places where you can attach a pressure gauge and see readings for the different functions of the trans (while the engine is running). The manual tells which plug hole gives the specific reading for a certain function. You likely need a gauge capable of 300 lbs. If the pump isn't working your readings will be 0 lbs on everything. Don't spend big money on a gauge to help your budget. Willingness + determination + persistence are in your favour...just add wisdom to the mix and you'll be fine  ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B.

You're onto the information you need on the pages you have posted. As the book mentions you need a pressure gauge that will give you readings up to 300 PSI. You need a pressure line with one end having 1/8" pipe thread and you may need an adapter fitting that works on the gauge...maybe 1/4". You can use a long grease gun hose (just blow the grease out first if it's a used hose) it will thread straight in wherever you attach it to the trans. except for the cooler line. I would test the pump pressure first...if the reading is 0 or very very low you have a definite problem with the pump which is propelled by the converter neck. You won't need to check any clutch pressures either as they will be 0 if the pump has no pressure. If pump pressure is 0 you know you have to pull out both transmissions to get to the problem. I wouldn't worry about warming everything up for pressure readings like the manual says until you know if you have pump pressure. You could check with Harbour Freight for an inexpensive gauge or any place that sells industrial supplies. You can buy complete test kits with adapters and all, like from Snap-On, but then you're looking at big $'s. For now you just want to know if you have pressure. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal! |

I need to figure out the adapters to get for the hose to the tractor and from the hose to the guage.

You'll need one 1/4'' coupling (female both ends) between your gauge and your hose, one reducer for the other end of the hose to go from 1/4'' male to 1/8'' male (for attaching to the trans. Home Depot or any auto parts supply place will have them. From your diagrams find the plug for testing pump pressure, remove the plug and install the hose with the gauge. Start up your machine and look at the gauge. After running for 1/2 a minute or so run the throttle up a bit to see if anything changes. It will be interesting to hear what you find...please let us know. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH.

Ok, thanks Coke. So with them being related to the brake light switch , backup alarm, neutral safety switch", none of those would have an affect on my issue of going forward or reverse. So I will mark that down as unrelated. :)
Any ideas on why the pressure tests would both be 0 for the forward reverse clutch test port and the convertor test port?

Take a look at your inching pedal linkages. Move the pedal up and down and watch the valve on the trans. just to make sure it moves freely. If it were stuck in the "in position" you wouldn't get pressure readings to fwd or reverse at least. With no pump pressure and engine running you're back to where you will have to pull both transmissions out (no little job) to see what's happening with the pump. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B.

Am I wrong in my understanding that is I got 0 on both pressure tests that this points to an issue with the oil pump? If so, is this hard to replace?

It's not hard to replace the pump once you can get at it. You have to remove both transmissions to access the pump. There may not be much wrong with the pump itself but as mentioned earlier in this thread if the flex plate is broken and the converter starts wobbling the drive set up for the pump and seal get ruined. If the pump doesn't turn there is 0 pressure. Once you pull it apart you'll see how it's supposed to work. You were talking about oil leaking...it's likely the oil pump seal around the converter neck is leaking. Last time when I was buying a new pump ordering it as a kit (pump, seal, gasket and bolts) was the best deal. However, don't order parts until you have it apart and you see what you need. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH.

Well Brian, it's not fun to have a machine that won't move...I have been there myself. Unfortunately it was no easy fix. I think I have given you all the advice I have. Running out of fuel would have no influence on the tranny. The oil leak you describe is right below the converter, if the seal or the oil pump leak that's where the oil comes down. The starter failing can make trouble in the converter housing if a piece let go from the starter itself. On one machine I had, the starter drive disintegrated and wedged itself stuck between the ring gear and the engine block...it still boils down to having to disassemble and investigate where the problem originates. It may still be an idea for you to reread this whole thread and ponder everyone's input. I wish you all the best on your repair. Be sure to tell us what you find and how you fixed it.

By the way Brian, the link you have for an oil pump looks to be an oil pump for the engine (notice it says engine parts at the top). The reason it fits your machine and several others is the Perkins engine. You (likely) need a pump for the forward reverser transmission. Here is the place and price from last year when I bought one...most likely the same one in your machine. You could always contact them for particulars. As I said previously however, don't order any parts 'til you know what you need.

Thou I had hoped it would be a quick easy fix, sometimes it just happens not to be that wat and thats ok. Do you have any advice on the best way to remove the bad pump for the forward reverser transmission and install a new one?

you had starter problems. you have pump problems. the flexplate is the common denominator, it drives the pump. If it is cracked it will ruin the starter and waller out the pump till it has no pressure. Been there, done that on a Turbo Hydro 400 on an old Jeep pickup. Starter would not act right and then no transmission pressure. Flex plate was nearly broken clear into. check that. keep us posted. ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

Remember DON NOT ORDER ANY PARTS BEFORE YOU GET IT APART! You have to raise the machine with enough clearance to get the transmissions out from under the machine. You will probably find all the instructions in your 715 Manual. The first time this happened to my machine THE OIL PUMP WAS OK, I DID NOT NEED TO REPLACE IT! But the converter neck needed repair because the flex plate was broken and needed to be replaced. A new seal was put in the pump but the pump itself was perfectly good. The pump is mounted right at the front of the fwd/rev trans, it's the first thing you see once you pull the tranny away from the engine. You need to be working on concrete and be using a really good transmission jack. My mechanic used a forklift with side shift to move the trannies away from the engine and then lowered them down. You may need to hire help to do this work, it is not an easy procedure if you haven't done it before. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH.

Good morning Gents,
I have a friend coming over this afternoon to see if he would be able to help removed and fix the pump issue. Can anyone explain the process or what will be required to get to the pump to replace it. Such as: unbolt x and x, lower it, check x and x to see if x part is broken, etc.. :)
Thank you in advance. Very respectfully, Farmer Joe VT

Do you have the big repair manual for your 715 backhoe? If you do there should be some procedure outline for removing the transmissions in order to get to the flex plate and the oil pump. If you don't have instructions in the manual you just crawl under and look the job over...drive shaft off, linkages, cables, shifter, cooling lines etc. You must have a heavy duty and safe jack on which the trans. will be secure. Once everything is removed including the bolts from the fwd reverser to the bell housing on the engine you slide the trannies back to disconnect from the engine then lower down. If your torque converter has a drain plug, turn it to the bottom and drain the oil out before separating trannies from engine or you'll have running out the converter neck. When you get this far you'll see what to do from there. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal! |

get it on level ground - get a couple sheets of steel or plywood (3/4") to work on and to support jack - if you want more working room raise machine using buck and backhoe legs , then block machine in that up position using cribbing to make sure it is stable ------------- Faith isn't a jump in the dark.

Brian: If you have no takers on your offer I suggest you take that money and look around for a good local mechanic, this is not really a beginners sample of a job. I don't mean to discourage you but it won't be that many hours for someone that's used to doing this. If you think getting it apart is tricky it is generally trickier to get the components aligned and joined back together without damaging seals etc. After all you want to get back to pushing dirt etc. before the season is over. The machine is really of no value to you until it's running again ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH.

Good move!! Glad you're taking Coke's advice about flat ground and as he said get some heavy plywood on top of the ground. Great support of the machine!! You guys would make good house movers too  . Have you looked for "procedure" in your manual? If your transmission support jack is big enough you can remove both trannies together otherwise take out the 4 speed first and then the fwd rev trans. Good thing you are a team of three, which of the three are you Brian? Take care and be safe! Eric.------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH.

I'm the tall lanky one in the middle ;), the two others are my brothers (Thomas left and Brandon right). They are both anixous to get it running and digging, wanting to help me out with all the projects around the house while I am at work during the day. We've been getting loads of free fill dropped off all week and we are starting to run out of room for them to dump it. I have placed a couple ads on craiglist list for any mechanics in the areas, to see if I can hire someone to help once we have it removed and for reinstalling it once its repaired but have not recieved anything solid yet. I am hoping the hoist arrives today, so I can lower it tonight. I will be sure to post pictures throughout the process and will be looking for advice / guidance from everyone here who have been such a blessing through this process. So I appreciate everyones help past - present - and for the forseeable future. :) Very respectfully, Brian and crew |

You see the four bolts to the right in the picture, they hold the flange in place. Remove the bolts and use a bar to push the shaft back just slightly. Taking the U-joints apart is the hard way...you can easily lose some of the needle bearings in there too. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B.

If you look at the back of the bell housing (round circumference with bolts all around) all these bolts have to be removed, don't take out any bolts right a the back of the oil pan. I'm not sure which mounting bars are on the 715, side or bottom? Remove these mounts leaving enough room to lower the trannies. Hopefully you have removed the cooler lines and all linkages related to both trannies. You must make sure to have chains hooked one to each end so it doesn't tip when it's loose. This is very important as someone working underneath could be severely injured. Separate (pull back) the trans at the bell housing making sure the torque converter stays with the transmission but be careful because if the trannies lean forward the converter can fall off. As soon as there is room tie a wire across the front of the trans. to be sure the converter does not fall off unexpectedly. You can remove it nicely when you have room...oil will come out of the centre, lay it down and cover the hole with a clean rag. I'm sure you can see when everything is ready to be lowered to the ground. Once you get that far I would celebrate like maybe go to DQ or...?? LOL ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B.

You have made a lot of progress! Be sure to support the back end of the engine (under the bellhousing is good) before everything is separated. From your video it looks like the trannies are ready to drop down at any moment. You may need to use a suitable pry bar at the bellhousing . The next thing is more important at installation than at removal but to install a couple of studs into the bolt holes of the bellhousing (just cut the heads off two bolts and cut screw slots in the ends so you can thread them in and out using a screw driver) one on each side for the purpose of maintaining alignment of the components (as you are separating them or putting them back together). Next time we hear from you you've probably got it dislodged and all the way down. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH.

I believe you said earlier that you removed all the bolts holding the converter to the flex plate? If the converter is freed from the flex plate and it is still in line with the shafts coming out of the front of the fwd/rev trans, you can keep it tucked in as close as possible to the tranny to clear space needed to drop it. Judging by the pictures and the video I'm concerned that the converter is partially away from the shafts and with dropping the weight down you could be doing damage to those shafts? If the converter is half way it's blocking the lowering movement. Given that you have enough room at the driveshaft end you should just keep moving it back. You may have enough resistance from the chains that backward movement is difficult. Just so you understand...even if you did not remove any bolts from the converter to the flex plate it would still slip apart from the front of the fwd/rev trans. as the converter simply slips over splined shafts. This does require a number of inches of movement away from the engine bell housing in order to come clear. Some mechanics remove the 4 speed trans. first to give more maneuvering room, others drop them still together. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B.

Brian: I thought back to some of the pictures you posted...in one I could still see the driveshaft. Have you disconnected the driveshaft from the differential as well? Unless you get it totally out of the way there won't be enough room to pull back the trannies. They need to come back in straight alignment with the engine, this is an absolute must upon installation procedure especially. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B.

The drive shaft is completely out of the way. We have the section a few inches out of the bell housing, but it is not enough to break her free. So we are trying to figure out a way to pull her even more out toward the back, so we can drop it down. Ill take some more pictures so you can all see what we are dealing with.

Good pictures!! That makes it much easier to see what's happening. I can see that your flex plate is caught and stuck in the bottom of the bell housing...you're going to need to lift your trannies up enough to be more perfectly in line with the engine before you can make progress, hope you haven't forgot one bolt that is hanging onto the converter?. Be sure to check that nothing from the frame, pipes, hoses, chains etc is interfering anywhere with movement toward the back. The flex plate looks quite warped at this point, if it wasn't previously broken it may have to be replaced before re-assembly. Keep at it!! You'll eventually get there. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal! |

Congratulations...you got it!! I think I have said most everything there is to say in terms of help to this point. As for the internal repairs I can only recommend that you find a reputable shop (or mechanic) that know their way around transmissions like this. When you go to put the machine back together you don't want to have any doubts that all components are in working order. Looks like your flex plate was OK until it got warped trying to take the trannies out. Pump drive looks OK. You don't want to settle for guess work when you are going to all this trouble. If anyone on this site with all the know-how leads you through the process that's fine, otherwise you need to consult a place in person to get all the help you need. I know I wouldn't disassemble the forward reverser myself. Even a forklift repair shop may know all you need help with. It's so so important that you deal with people you can trust and are reasonable at the same time. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B. Previously- I 600,TL745,200,FL9,FR12,H3,816 LBH.

Ok everyone, we have a good update. After months of work and $2000 later in parts (flexplate, torque convertor, and shaft seal) and labor, our AC 715b Backhoe Loader moves once more. However, now we are faced with trying to figure out why once she is running she dies out under load. We have replaced all the fuel lines after find a small break in one. We have replaced the fuel pump with a new on (2-7 psi, original one was a universal 2-4.5 psi). I bleed all the the fuel filters to the injectors, with it firing right up toward the end of the injectors. I was able to run her great for 2 hours of working under load. Before chugging out once more, out of no where with half a tank. I bleed the lines again tonight and was able to get her started with some starter fluid, but once I put her under load she chugged out again. Any and all help is great appreciated.

Good to hear that you're up and running again. I have wondered from time to time how you were doing with your repair. Did the trans. rebuilder ever find exactly what was wrong? With your machine dying under load it would have to be some fuel restriction somewhere in the system. Years ago my A-C 816 would just die without good reason. It turned out to be junk in the bottom of the fuel tank...with fuel slushing in every direction in the tank the fuel outlet would plug up. To start with you could blow air back to the tank through the fuel line. To clean the fuel tank completely is a good thing to do every so often. I don't like putting fuel into anything without using a funnel with a fine screen. Thanks for sending your update. ------------- Currently- WD,WC,3WF's,2 D14's B.

Update: I just got done blowing air through the fuel line back into the fuel tank to try and clear out any gunk from the fuel screen/outlet at the bottom of the tank, as others have suggested. I bleed from the filters all the way to the injectors, got her running, but once I hit the throttle to begin backing up she bogged down again and chugged to a stop. Is there a way for me to test the pump or any other areas I should check? Thanks Brian

Update: ran a fuel hose from the top of the tank to the fuel pump, bleed lines, and started - bogged down under load or just because. Blew out fuel hose going to bottom of the tank, bleed lines, and started - with the same result. Removed the fuel injectors and cleaned the carbon off - in progress.

Be sure to check that the shut off lever on the injection pump moves all the way back to running position. Another thing I have seen on diagrams of injection pumps...there is a final fuel screen inside the pump. This may not be the case with yours and maybe it doesn't have such a screen but the problem sounds totally like there is some restriction in the fuel supply.

We then cleaned what we could in the injector holes with the same metal cleaner in a aerosol can and a tooth brush to clean up any carbon. Once that was done we reinstalled the fuel injectors and bleed all the lines (fuel filters top bleed screw, injector pump bleed screw, and opened all 4 injectors and tightened each from right to left before it started on its own around #3, before tightening #4 (far left). With her running, we drove her around, placed her under load, picked up and back dragged dirt, and pulled a 60+ foot long without any bogging down or issues at all. We then shut her off to test if she would fire right back up and she does. We tried it several times and she works the better than she ever has. So after nearly a year of troubleshooting and no shortage of help from everyone here. I am happy to report things look good. We will be testing her fully this weekend, with a front yard and driveway to regrade and 20+ - 60'+ logs to pull out of the woods. I will be sure to give you all a update on how it goes. A special thanks to Eric, Carl, Coke, and anyone else who has helped us every step of the way. I could not have done any of this without your help and patience with this first time tractor owner. Thank you doesn't come close... Take care and God bless. Very repsectfully, Brian http://www.huntingandarms.com" rel="nofollow - http://www.huntingandarms.com

If it is a standard Stanadyne injection pump common to many old Allis's there is a return fitting in the top cover of the pump where the shut off mechanism sits. In that fitting is a check ball, should it have debris in it or getting to it, it will do just as noted and eventually the coupler in the pump will fail where it will not start at all. I have been thru that on a few that used these style pumps. Only real repair is take it off and have it rebuilt, cleaning just the nozzles would not stop a problem as noted. |

//New Problem// the radiator fan, alternator, and pulley aren't turning. Sometimes it starts slowly or works a little. But now it isn't working at all or intermittently. Anyone have an idea of what this could be? Link to pictures and videos: http://https://goo.gl/photos/HgHFrugLoMtbUw3V9" rel="nofollow - http://https://goo.gl/photos/HgHFrugLoMtbUw3V9 Thanks Brian |

| looks like the belt ain't tight. also might not be the right belt, or crank pulley has a lot of wear on it, making the belt slip... |

It was the crankshaft pulley again. The teeth on the pulley are completely worn down. I will order another one tomorrow morning and Im thinking about putting JB Weld or Loctite Metal on it next time to prevent it from vibrating or moving around. Does anyone have any other ideas or think that this isnt the way to go? Thanks Brian |

| Is there enough room, to add a set screw to the pulley?? |

There is a bolt that holds the pulley on. But the pulley internal bore metal seems to not be as strong as the gear metal and keeps wearing down over time to the point of failure. This will be the second pulley in the last 2 years. So when I buy the 3rd, I'd like to make it hold, since it will have some grip from the get go. Any suggestions on any metal epoxies or tricks that would do the trick? Very respectfully, Brian
