Tractor Yesterday...
Loaded my little 5020 AC up yesterday and
took it up to my SIL's place. It has a seal blown on the front of the tranny and the clutch was stuck from the hydraulic fluid that was pumping in from the tranny, so much that it was running out of the starter... We dropped the loader and seven hours latter the little tractor is sitting, broken apart in three chunks and the radiator has been pulled also, for a re-core... I'm going back today to start gathering up stuff to start putting it back together. In a lot of ways my SIL and I are more alike than my son and I. I've heard, many times, that daughters marry their fathers...It seems that in a lot of ways she has, and she is turning into her mother too. |

I wasn't familiar with the Allis Chalmers 5020 so I googled it,,nice llookin little tractors size wise,,I was picturing something much larger.
I learned to drive a tractor when I was 10 ,,it was an AC C or CA,,can't remember which. I like working on stuff like that except when it's time to get hay in and something broke,,then it becomes a first class emergency. I wonder if my wife would agree that she married her father,,lol,,I'll ask her.

It's a little 21HP diesel 4 wheel drive
When I bought it, several years ago, I just gave $1,200 for it and it came with a bush hogg, and the front end loader. My other tractor is a 70HP 1200 David Brown I had a 1066 IH when I was farming... I just don't need anything that big anymore, thank goodness... |

My middle son who lives next door has turned into the neighborhood mechanic When his steel worker work stagnates in the summer he wrenches for extra money to keep going. His secret helper is a smart phone which go's to youtube for the ( how to fix it ) mode. He also takes pictures at various stages of a complicated job so everything can go back together correctly.

if ya have the front end loader, then check the front berings etc while ya have it apart, it puts a lot of wear on the running gear with a front loader. Might as well save the time of pulling it apart again. A quick check / repack shouldn't cost that much unless it needs new stuff.
Nice lil' tractor there.

My neighbor from next door stopped over a couple weeks ago to ask me if I knew anything about Kabota Tractors...his diesel would not start. He has a NICE snowblower that attaches to the front and he does my driveway...just for something to do because he likes to play with his tractor.
I asked him a couple questions...got a few tools ...and we had it running in 10 minutes. The fuse in the glow-plug system popped. Replacing it had it starting and running immediately. He thought it was magic. Always start with the simple shit first. I like working on the old stuff. It was designed to be easy to work on/maintain/repair.

I need to tattoo that on the inside of my forearm to remind me. The dumbest one I ever pulled was yanking the starter, ignition box, and distributor from my daughter's Toyota when the problem was the stupid security chip under the steering column had wiggled its way out.
