Firs off id like to welcome you to MTF. I too am an a young member (16) and have learned alot. This forum is great and has taught me tons.

Glad you took on a project and i will be following. I know nothing about AC tractors but im sure these fine members will take care of you.

Mikey.

 

The only thing I may need to do this tractor is buy a battery in the spring if I want to mow with it which I am intending to do. When I get it home I am going to first see if the battery will take a charge and stay charged. When I went and looked at it the tractor hadn't been started since september 2013. I put some gas in it and the guy jumped it with his car and it probably cranked 25 no more than 30 secs and fired up and ran smooth wasn't a bad smoker either.

 

welcome to the group, I'm sure you will hear from the ac boys.

 

Welcome to the world of GT's.

I really like the Allis tractors myself.

I will when I get it home. I am supposed to if my plans don't change go get it tomorrow.

Welcome to the forum.

 

thanks for that info on the parts. Everytime I try looking up these parts or that tractor on the partstree.com it says it can't find it. How did you pull up the model?

 

I see it list the individual parts and components of each attachment. Does anyone know if there is a way to just for example buy like the actual attachment all in one. For example purchase the rear grass catcher with everything together. I know it list the individual parts for the rear grass catcher but, is there a way to actually purchase the rear grass catcher itself and on all the attachments each individual piece isn't available on partstree. Thanks all for the info and bearing with me. Again I am young and don't know a whole lot.

 

All i can suggest is watch craigslist ebay and/or kijiji for one. Then if it is missing a few individual parts then buy from there. I dout theres anyone that makes brand new attachments for it still

Your carb is probably gummed up and dumping way too much fuel into engine.
I would suggest running sea foam through it and see if that cleans it up, otherwise you are going to need to remove the carb and clean it out

 

I was going to try that. I understand having an occasional backfire but, when I tried it out this evening after getting the mower home it was backfiring pretty much every time I turned it off. Thanks for the tip will try when I get chance and report back. Question though for you if the carb is gummed up wouldn't the engine want to stall and not really run. I am not an engine tech person. I don't know I am just asking.

 

Back firing is caused from too much fuel dumping into the engine. That is not completely burned in the cylinder, then Igniting in the exhaust system

If the needle is not sealing properly in the seat from gunk or grit you will have the situation your describing.

Do you know anyone that can help you clean the carb and adjust it?

I got some family and friends who mess with this stuff that could help me.

 

One other thing I noticed about it after I discovered the backfiring. I took a quick look at the plug without removing it. You know what you can see up to the plug wire itself and it appeared it had oil on it. I don't know if that contributes any to my problem I have described but, wanted to report that it.
