HELLO GRADER WORLD, I HAVE A ALLIS ROAD GRADER MODEL D, (GAS), WILL A DD (DIESEL ) ENGINE SWAP INTO IT'S PLACE? ANY ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFUL.......................:usa:usa:usa:usa:usa:usa:usa:usa:usa:
Sounds as though someone has flipped the ring gear carrier around to the opposite side making the gearing run in a reversed fashion. The other reason I suppose is the 4-71 could be a left hand rotation model installed be accident.Hello, anybody familiar with the with the allis chalmers ad 40-253 road grader Gears are backwards, 6 in reverse and 2 forward. Has a 471 gm/ Detroit engine and would like to swap to a 9.0 international engine, Wondering about the bellhousing interchange, the 9.0 has a 4 speed allison coupled to it, any information would greatly be appreciated...
Why not just install a hydrostatic steering valve and wheel in place of the lever?While we are talking about Allis Chalmers graders , im looking for the whole steering assembly from the steering wheel to the steering box .My D model was converted to hydraulic lever steer and i have it in mind to change it back.
Actually I left water in the engine after I bought the grader to move it and their was a hole in the sleeve and then it rusted or locked up. Could rebuild it, but it turns the wrong way anyway and I have a good v-8 diesel international engine I could swap. Have to check rotation. And find the right flywheel housing that would couple up, projects galore...I was thinking the same thing as repowerguy that you might have gotten a left handed rotation Detroit. They made them both ways. Have you checked the engine rotation when cranking to eliminate that first.
