Allis Chalmers D10

Looks like the carb needs some serious attention. The choke shaft is frozen. I have the whole thing soaking in my carb cleaner vat. It is a Zenith carb.

Needs some scrubbing.

Yeah, ordered a kit and float for it. New Zenith carbs are $400, ain't going there. If choke butterfly frees up it should be repairable. If choke doesn't free up oh well, my hand will choke the air intake.

Try any heat on it?

Where did you find that price? I just looked on DJS & saw almost 600, crazy, they've almost doubled in the last 5-6 years, even the used ones.

Not yet, just started on it last night, it is still soaking

Several vendors out there. I am surprised they are still being made after almost 60 years.

It has fire! Point set arrived installed, still no fire. Bad coil, low 3.5 ohms between + and terminal. Replaced with old leftover Chevelle coil, now 11.5 ohms, adjusted points again, has spark. Reinstalled all plugs.

Carb is soaking nicely. choke has freed up. Waiting on kit to arrive.

After I get it going I will install a new cap, wires and plugs.

Now if you can find a tank. Or did you?

Nope, that is going to be a challenge. For now it will be a gas can and electric fuel pump. I just need to be able to move it around.

I was just thinking about it, and if you can't find a gas tank, you can probably fit a larger motorcycle gas tank in there.....

Sometimes in welding school you can make a project. Maybe at one point, you could make a tank.

I may have found one on FB marketplace... want to get it running first. It is the back 1/2 of the tractor and may have a decent tire too. About 1 1/2 hrs away

Carb kit came it, everything cleaned up nicely BUT... gasket between bowl and body is wrong. Looks like the carb has been switched and it is from a CA model. I think I found the gasket on Amazon and have it ordered.

 

[77cruiser]

Look like this?

This is the one I have, and it is definitely wrong.



Found this on Amazon, the center one should work (I hope)

This thing is going to be burning rubber when your done.

Try some Nitro Methane. That'll help.
