ALLIS-CHALMERS Tractors Plowing, Planting and Harvesting

[@Seveneleven44]

Didn’t get raised on a farm but did spend most of my childhood running around a farm with my best friend. Still remember when I was 10-11 years old and his dad let me drive their old AC 185 for the first time tedding hay. It was the stuff of every little boys dream back then!

18 minutes of pure bliss!! Keep the AC power coming!

[@bigtractorpower]

Glad to hear that. It is fun tracking down AC tractors. These were all filmed between 2014 and 2022.

[@markfin7225]

I grew up bleeding orange and black, with a touch of cream. C, WD, WD45 ( gas and diesel, wide and narrow front ), D14-15, 17, 19 and 21, 180, 440 and 5050. Grandpa was the first to get a tractor on steel wheel. Dad retired in 76 and all tractors were sold, except the WD45 narrow front gas. He bought the 5050 at that time and I put close to 5000hrs on that little work horse haying, feeding cattle, plowing snow, and turning dirt. This was a joy to watch.

[@littlerougue]

Just seeing that pull type sileage set up brings back so many memories

[@bigtractorpower]

My friend John filmed that 8010. Pull type chopping is on the decline. John has an AC 8050 lined up to film an a Gehl chopper for 2023.

[@Bamalivin2022]

Great video! Out of all the many Allis Chalmers tractors we had, the D-21 was by far my favorite. That tractor was a tank and an incredible work horse.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

Oh yeah those are awesome

[@bigtractorpower]

The D21 is one of the coolest tractors ever built. Tank is a good summary word for it.

I thought it would be fun to high light Allis. Thank you for watching.

[@garfield89dude32]

They have a very rich and storied history. It's too bad the farm crisis of the 80's and a bunch of managerial mismanagement from the 1960's and beyond killed them off. They were a tremendous company and made some very high quality machines!

[@chadshafer8095]

Great Video. Love the Orange tractors as that is what i Bleed. Thanks for posting them.

[@bwlyon]

Still have my Grandfather’s 190XT, and use it every summer. Always love hearing the smooth turbocharged inline 6!

[@xlerb2286]

Hang onto that tractor. I wish I had even one of Dad's AC tractors or his Super M. It all sold at auction after he died and he took great care of equipment so they went for prices beyond my budget. Even the Super M went for almost $10K, and this was a fair number of years ago.

[@kygreenskeeper8326]

Absolutely love the big 2 wheel drive tractors Jason... Awesome

[@bigtractorpower]

They a cool tractors for sure.

[@firstjohn3123]

My grandfather used one of the D17 (4 cyl.) models for years in the 50's - 80's. Never seen that tractor fail. Lots of memories. Thanks.

[@DuhartCreek]

There is just something so pleasant and soothing as any brand of diesel working.

[@JayOberholtzer]

Great Video. I worked as a tech for an AC dealership in the 1980's and worked on most of the models shown. I owned an CA, 175, and 190XT during that time period as well.

[@bigtractorpower]

Very cool. AC was a great brand. The 190XT is great plowing tractor.

[@scottphillips4992]

My first paying job, at 11 years old, was in the summer of 1983. The farmer I worked for was a neighbor and he had 2 D21's and a 7045 and purchased a 7060 the next year. That 7045 was a really nice tractor.

[@donbenson5292]

Great video. Gosh I ran alot of Allis's WC, WD,D17, 180, 185,190XT,210,7080, and a 8050. Ran Gleaners A, F2, C2 CSs, G, L2 and an L3. The good ole days!!!

[@antiquarian3942]

Watching these beautiful vintage Allis-Chalmers tractors still working the fields gets me excited... the kind of excited I used to get when my wife and I first started dating. Maybe I need to get an Allis-Chalmers t-shirt for my wife and put her to work in our garden. 😂

[@1930-Ford]

Isn't it amazing they still pick corn with no sensors monitors or GPS and still didn't get lost

[@DieselTruckin]

Loved this, very nostalgic. I grew up across from a farmer who owned a 200, 7045, 7060 and a couple of L2’s. I loved harvest season cuz I got to ride in the L2 sometimes. Also his brain tricks are soo loud, I loved hearing them go by as a kid loaded down headed to the elevator. The best part was when his daughter got older. 😂👀

[@douglassellers7528]

There sure used to be a lot of those around my area. Still several in barns around here. They had a plant in Terra Haute, Indiana that several of the farmers used to work in the day and farm at night. A complete different era.

[@Hinesfarm-Indiana]

What did they make at that place?

[@coryridder1937]

My dream Allis is a 220. We grew up with a D17, an 8010, a 185 and a few different Gleaner combines. 426 is the best sounding engine! 👌

[@RJ1999x]

Music to the ears👍

[@boe4448]

Thank you Jason, It appears to me A-C made some really nice looking well thought designs. The area where I grew up didn't have dealerships so I didn't see any working land. I would see them do pretty well at tractor pulls in the 70's. Thanks again, Boe

[@bigtractorpower]

Allis made a good line of tractors. Advanced for their time. I always enjoy getting a chance to film one.

[@karlherzog3979]

Neighbor used to have a 8070 with a chrome stack on it. Miss seeing it chopping corn and haylage. I’m not an allis guy but that was a slick tractor that sounded really nice.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 8070 is a very cool tractor. It’s large cab set an industry standard copied by other brands in the 90’s.

[@d17spud]

Thank you for the cool video. Persian Orange is in my blood. If I could have only one classic tractor it would be the mighty D21. The first muscle tractor.

[@bigtractorpower]

The D21 is just plain cool no matter what your favorite brand is. 😁👍

[@unclebud7577]

I am an Oliver man, but a D21 would look rather nice here. I always liked them.

[@tractorchannel1922]

Good job 👍♥️♥️ Indonesian likes 🇮🇩

[@kenbadman4603]

Back in the day the Penn State university farm services division had a D17 series 4 prototype as part of its fleet. The tractor had no serial number. It was a series 3 tractor with the new series 4 styling and a few upgrades over the series 3 tractors. It had a Perkins 4 cylinder diesel engine that was the most unique sounding tractor I've ever heard. It sounded like a sewing machine more than a tractor! Nice little tedder and raking tractor.

[@andyharman3022]

The Queen Mary! Amazing how two stacks make such a difference.

[@bigtractorpower]

The 8550 and 4W-305 definitely have that ocean liner look.

[@pumpaw7719]

AC always made nice looking tractors

[@xlerb2286]

We had a D-21, a Two Hundred, and a 7060 for big tractors, and a WD as a chore tractor (that hand clutch was great) and later an unstyled WC as a collector tractor. And a Gleaner G and later a L2 combine. Dad loved them all. He always wanted a old model G tractor but he never came across one at a price the thought was reasonable. I sure do miss him and I miss those tractors as well.

[@paullyon-vv9tb]

Oh yes big muscle allis my favorite the mighty D-19 narrow front We plowed planted and picked with that beast

[@stevecunningham2759]

I really appreciate the Allis content. I farmed 1974-1992 and Allis tractors were not too popular in my area. I'm afraid that I fed my interest in mechanics more than my farm operation by always finding a cheap Allis with problems to use. Good experience but not a good farm plan. My favorite was a 7010. I did have two 220s in that span of time. They were very cheap but now are too expensive for me!

[@bigtractorpower]

The 7010 and 7020 are neat tractors. I like the open station versions. The 220 was a monster tractor in the early 70’s.

[@alfsimmonds1569]

I've seen a Minneapolis Moline in Saskatchewan 3 years ago, but the owner had it off to one side and no work would be done on it, most of the time I like watching the older tractors at work. They had a great sound when working.

[@bigtractorpower]

That is neat an MM made it that far north.

[@larryd8224]

I worked on the A-C tractor production lines in West Allis, Wisconsin, on a Work-Study program between the U. of Minnesota and A-C. Worked there a total of 12 months, 1966-1968. The new tractor coming off the lines at that time was the 190 series with the 190XT the dominant tractor. The demand for A-C tractors and equipment among farmers followed the decline in smaller row-crop farms of that era. The traditional row-crop tractors and farm equipment manufacturers in the USA consolidated as farm operations became larger. As corn harversted moved away from corn-on-the-cob picking it was replaced by corn combines and corn drying operations. In additon, the technology among other tractor manufacturers evolved to bigger engines, more flexible transmissions, more hydraulics, and eventually, hydraulic drive motors for the 4WD tractors. Later, digital electronics plus GPS navigation was added to the technology evolution.

[@davekonert956]

7080. The first tractor I drove with me Dad.

Have a series II D17 that grandpa had, then my dad had it when I grew up, now I have it. It’s the gas model, we had the AC trip bucket loader for it until dad finally wore it out. It’s been overhauled once in about ‘83 when dad bought it from grandpa, and when I bought it from dad I put rod and main bearings in it and it still doesn’t smoke and sounds really good. Has lost a little compression finally though. In December of 1989 it got to -25 below zero, dad started that tractor, it took off in about 2 turns, but sounded like 22 rifle shots going off it was so cold and stiff. Dad nicknamed it “Alley-oop” 😊
