I have changed the transmission oil in my vehicles and they have magnets in the transmission pan. Each time I've dropped the pan I've seen similar attached to the magnet.
Of course, if it's attached to the magnet it's not aluminum. I still think it's ok. |

Then unfold the cardboard and look for aluminum shavings. View Quote |

Dealer is still saying June 20 delivery to them. I'll believe it when I see it . On a higher note I found out they are a dealer for Rim Guard, the rear end will be 470 lbs heavier when we take delivery . Now to find a deal on wheel weights...

I found it like this: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v623/85_Ranger/1950%20Allis-Chalmers%20WD/104_zpsife9zwbb.jpg The terms of the sale was "come and get it or I am going to scrap it, I am tired of looking at it" Engine turned and rumor had it it had a WD-45 crank so why not. So I put a combine tire and wheel on the one corner (rim was gone from fluid) and hauled it home. Put the other combine tire on it since the one that looked up was actually flat but full of fluid. Went to change the oil and the drain plug was stuck. Dropped the pan full of oil and heated the plug so it would come out and reinstall with a new gasket. Noted it did in fact have the bigger crank and overbore aluminum pistons so that was good. Put oil in it and the tappet cover on the side of the engine leaked badly so I replaced that. Changed plugs and points and rebuild carb. Motorola alternator was froze so I replaced it with the stock V6 alternator from my Ranger and rewired the tractor. Stuck a battery on it and tried to start it, turned over real slow and drained the battery fast. Pulled starter and cleaned/lubed it. Whipped over like a champ but only kinda sorta tried to hit on one cyl. Checked compression, only #1 had any and it wasn't much. Checked around and the manifold was full of dead bugs, pulled the manifold and tried to vacuum it out to no avail. Pulled the head, ground the valves, touched up the seats and replaced four guides. Stuck the head back on and it leaked, pulled it back off and noted the new tappet cover gasket was a little bigger than it needed to be and it was interfering with the headgasket so I trimmed that and installed with another new headgasket. Runs beautiful but the water pump and the radiator were leaking. Replace those (radiator was rotten and not worth fixing) Replace the one blown out front tire with a used one with a new tube. Flushed the fuel tank out by setting it on the dog tie out in the yard and flushing with the garden hose... dog tie out punched thru bottom of the tank so I found another tank. New sediment bowl and fuel lines. Runs great now! http://i376.photobucket.com/albums/oo203/125_puller/1950%20WD/DSCN8684_zpsc8tk68vb.jpg I think the original tires can be saved with new tubes and it came with a better rim (that is yellow) View Quote |

Most transmissions have magnets inside to help catch that metal. Some people even put a magnetic oil plug or magnetic oil dipstick on engines.....helps to remove excess metal shavings.....which all engines and transmissions have. |
