Ok I admit this is a weird topic for a SXS forum but hey what the hell.
I am looking for an Allis Chalmer Wd/Wd45 engine some one may have still in the tractor or maybe in a barn.
If you have anything and want to part with it let me know.
Thanks y'all.

Seriously I just scrapped a set of good pistons and sleeves as I couldn’t find a home for them for 3 years.

I restored mine 5 years ago. I’ll send you a pm of where a good starting location might be.

Anything specific you are looking for (crank, etc)?

I let a friend help me do food plots last year he lugged it too low in 3rd with a 2 bottom in sand soil and broke a rod which made a nasty hole in the pan.
So a running engine would be my best bet to get work done quickly this year.

They definitely work well outside of their size.
I like them for working tight areas in the woods.

Well after a little work and some windshield time I not only have one but three complete running engines.
500 for all 3.
One is in the tractor and running one is on a homemade test stand and one is hanging in the barn on the crane ready for a teardown.
Here are a few pics of the stand we made.

Nice!

AC made a crap load of WD’s and WD45’s they are still doing a lot of farm work. A lot of organic farm startups are snapping up the old AC equipment.

One thing to watch is the frost ( sand casting) plugs in the head. Not keeping fresh antifreeze in the block will eventually drive the coolant pH down and start corroding the plugs in the head. When they go, the coolant dumps right into crank case leading to a milkshake mess and mucho badness. That’s what happened to my 45.

Before you put the working motor back in, a seal kit is super cheap and worth it. The oil pan and rear main is a bit tricky but doable. Personally I’d pull the head and check it, and install new plugs. Really not necessary to deck the block or head unless it’s really bad.

At least pull the valve cover and make sure the ends of the rocker arm tubes are still plugged. The AC motors of the day used bypass oiling and if the rocker arm tubes aren’t plugged, oil won’t make it to the rocker arms.

These tractors were made to be OH by the farmer under a tree. That’s what’s so awesome about them.
