Welcome back to “What Are We Fixing Today”! In today’s episode, I’m excited to finally tackle one of my oldest and most trusted projects – my trusty Alis Chalmers WD tractor. It’s been sitting around for three years with a flat rear tire and over a year since it was last started, but now it’s time to bring her back to life! Let’s get this tractor to move again and see what other adventures await us.

This little workhorse has been a faithful companion since I bought her in 2013. She’s helped me out in the garden, moved snow off my driveway, lifted heavy things for repair, and just been a fun toy to mess around with. But about three years ago, she got a hole in the tube and I’ve been putting off fixing her ever since – that is, until now.

Besides being a bit rusty from disuse, this tractor had some minor issues that needed attention before I could get her running again. And then there was the task of actually getting her started… well, let’s just say it was a bit of a fight! But with some elbow grease and determination, we finally got her up and running after about 8 real-time hours over two days.

Of course, as you might expect, things don’t always go smoothly. After driving across the driveway to put her to work, something broke and we ended up crashing. Will we ever get this tractor to move again? Tune in to see what happens next…
