I've been to Portage once. Over an hour drive north of me. Your drive is far greater.Loaded up for Portage WI, taking off Friday morning. I know take lots of pictures. I will be back on the Allis next week.View attachment 96361
I would bolt a bar across both bars sticking out and use a portapower to try breaking them loseBetween the rain storms and the heat afterwards I made a little progress. I was able to mount up the 4 new tires for the Allis View attachment 97141View attachment 97142After I had these mounted up I tried to get the front tires for the Economy broken off the bead to install tubes. I ended up taking them to my buddies house and using his tire machine. The tire machine struggled but the bead finally broke and tubes are in a long with new wheel bearings and seals.View attachment 97143Once I finish up the wiring it can move on its own. I do need to drain the transmission and rear axle oil and replace with fresh oil. The next issue is removing these 2 bars that come out of the back.View attachment 97144The prior owner had a spray tank mounted on them. There is a bolt that holds them on I have removed and tried to pull them out but they will not budge.
Tomorrow I plan to prime the Allis hood and then start sanding it for paint.
I do not have a portapower, I am thinking of using a bottle jack instead and a bolt or weld on a piece the jack can press against. I need to make sure there is just one bolt holding them in, it looks like one bolt for the fender goes through the outer bar.I would bolt a bar across both bars sticking out and use a portapower to try breaking them lose
