Hello Chris,

Do you have a steering box on the right hand side of the "U" frame,when you sit on the seat? if you do then you have a 20-30. If your steering device is in the front bolster which bolts to the front of the "U" frame and a long steering shaft from the steering wheel to the front bolster then you have an "OK".

Hope to see some photo's soon, a picture tells a 1000 words.

Malcolm.

Thanks to everyone so far i am in process of stripping the block down for painting i have found a spare block with liners and crank, i have found a company that will make new liners if necessary i am not sure what to do with the crank bearing yet i was wondering has anyone got a spare rocker set or have apicture and measurements so i can try to get some copied.

i would love to come and see your wallis john and your are right i am in the brecon beacons so lots of hills between us i was wondering do you or malcolm show your wonderful machine at all and maybe we might meet up at one of the events

there is no serial number on the machine but i have a engine number of 54442 and also 9049a on the casting of the block i have found out the some gypsy had taken the wallis into the centre and ripped all the bits of brass and copper of her

i am not sure of her serial number is or kind of year she was made would anyone have any could pictures and measurements of the front wheels as i might be able to get these rerolled if i can't find any last request of the day is does anyone know where i might found a head gasket as hopefully within the next few week i would like to start rebuilding if i can find everything i need

i am not sure david quite possible as a friend of mine is a computer whizz kid and he started looking for information me .myself give me a hammer and spanner i make things work this is a new world to me as i normally play with rally cars and stationery engines

any suggestion where to find a parts book and service manual of sorts !!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone in the UK contacted me a year or two ago with some pictures of an extremely rough Wallis that they had bought. Unfortunately I seem to have deleted the email.

Could have been the previous owner of this tractor, or was it you Chris?

All the best

Joe,

Nothing Wallis left in the re cycling centres on the East side of England, otherwise I would not of taken you to see the operations in the Horncastle scrap yards when you visited, I could just imagine the delight on your face to be taking some Wallis back across the pond to it's home country from under my nose!!!!

Chris,

Not sure where you are in Wales but you are welcome to come up and see my 20-30. I'm in the Bethesda area just outside Bangor in N Wales. No doubt luck would have it that there's a great lump of mountains and slow roads between us!

Chris:

Are you anywhere close to John Farnworth in Bethesda? I can't believe someone on your side of the pond would even consider scraping a Wallis tractor!!! The wind must have been in the opposite direction of John or he would have smelt that tractor out from 100 miles away. I don't have a picture handy of the push rods or the measurements of them but I will try to post one soon as I can. It took time to get your Wallis in the shape it is in and it will take time to get it back to it's former glory so be patient and don't give up!! In the end you may surprise yourself of what you have accomplished.

Chris do you know what the serial number is of your tractor? Please post pictures of your tractor for us Wallis nuts to feast on!!

Not to change the subject but has anyone heard of how Jessie Voss is comming on his Wallis in Iowa? I haven't heard anything of him for some time now.

thank you that will be a great help , i guess there is not mant spare govenors in USA..

Re: wallis tractors

tseaberg — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 02:41:07 GMT

Hey MelonReo, I guess I missed this post when it was first posted by you. I have a parts list for both styles of the 20-30. I assume you are looking to find info on the pickering governor, not the kingston? I will get some scans of my parts list for you on the governor you want to know about.

Re: wallis tractors

melonreo — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 10:50:10 GMT

does any body know if it is possible to obtain a parts book for a 20-30 i would like to know all about the govenor as my friends is missing all the internals and maggie drive housing , at the moment i do not want to pull mine apart to see what is inside

john farnworth:

Melonreo,

I notice the red Challenger in the background. Do you know if green ones went to Aus as well? And also do you know of any that were either single front (instead of twin) or were a wide front type (full wide axle)

Thanks

John

years ago a friend of mine showed me a tractor that he had just purchased ,and i identyfied it as a green pacemaker , but as the years have gone by the more i think about that tractor it could of been a fixed wide front challenger.

to my knowledge i have not heard of any green challengers over here and i only know of 2 other red challengers also
