I got the RD4 back together, I probably shouldn't tell anyone this, but I got a little brave and welded 2 teeth back on the bevel gear in the transmision, I've heard of it done before, I decided to try, I welded it up will a 1018 rod and ground it out with a right anlge grinder, so far It sounds just fine, in the mean time I am going to try to find a parts tractor because among me and my brothers we have 4 D4s that need some parts.

Also pictured is an allis chamlers M;) my brother bought it last weekend, also when we got this allis, we looked at a 2 ton cat, I couldn't convince myself to buy it, some thing messed up about it, the transmission had the top busted out of it, the steering levers weren't correct for a 2 ton, not correct seat, not the correct fenders, every thing on it was southern engineered, :confused: the track bushings were worn out, really, the only thing I could identify it by was the radiator, if yall want to know more on the 2 ton let me know, I'm sure it will be for sale for a while
