OVER 100 Horsepower! 1935 Allis Chalmers LO Crawler - Classic Tractor Fever

[@AllisChalmersMN]

110 horse power but endless amounts of torque. Cool looking machine!

[@adamvanostrand2664]

What a beast! Pulled that 12 bottom plow like a 🏆 champ

[@tripacer8259]

I like "bumping" the governor as well! Fun to hear & feel that torque.

I’ve got a 37 SO w/10ft Baker Hyd blade. 4cyl switched to gas. Bought new by co hwy to build roads, mostly pulled a grader.

[@MrChevelle83]

ive ran 2 antique crawlers, the first was about a circa 1953 international TD9 dozer, and the second was a caterpillar 933 loader, circa 1960 both were equally busy to operate and required really fast operation on the controls to get some work done! whew! they were fun for a little while but Ill take my john deere 455e any day over those hand clutch manual transmission machines for daily work!!

Saw two of those at a coal mine near Waimate New Zealand about 70 years ago always wondered what happened to them eventually

[@Dan-qy1rg]

Wow, a neat looking AC LO, what a horse of a crawler!

[@abstractdragon5453]

Really nice machine!!

[@paulr7547]

That was fun. Very nice machine.

[@TheIrishAmish]

Love seeing Pinkneyville !

[@PastPreserver]

Very cool

[@philtripe]

So is that a straight 6? i wish we could get more information on the engines in these old tractors

[@MrChevelle83]

yes its an inline 6 and he said it had 2 carbs as well.

[@jayjones6904]

That's what I was on as kid was ac

[@martingardener90]

I wonder why most of the LO's were converted to petrol - Ok gas. did the diesel give problems? I believe the diesel engine was designed to idle on only two cylinders.

[@MrChevelle83]

id guess they were much easier to start and got the job done so gas it was.

[@martingardener90]

@@MrChevelle83 Here in the UK diesel has always been much cheaper so a lot of people were more likely to put up with being harder to start!

[@michaelbaumgardner2530]

Wow a goliath in 1935.

[@farmerbill6855]

Would've been nice to find out why it has three exhaust stacks. Some detail please. Your videos are getting pretty generic. Thanks.

[@frankwurth5375]

Due to the legenth of the motor, they used 3 sets of 2 cyl heads. This eliminated the problem with breaking of those super long castings.

[@frankwurth5375]

Due to the legenth of the big motor, they used 3 sets of 2 cyl heads and shorter exhaust manifolds to avoid the issue with breaking those long castings.

[@farmerbill6855]

@@frankwurth5375 Hey thank you, it only took a year but I had high hopes someone would know.

[@timpedzinski230]

Keep on trucking? How about Keep on farming or tractoring? First!

[@Hogger280]

If this crawler only runs on gasoline then it is not restored.

[@RJ1999x]

Feel free to buy one and bring it to full restoration

[@Hogger280]

@@RJ1999x Funny that you choose to take offense rather than acknowledge the fact. I made my statement because of the many machines(especially steam locomotives) that people "got running" but claim they have restored; they have no ideal of the meaning of restoration, which is to bring back to original specs. and full functionality as intended by the manufacturer.

[@RJ1999x]

@@Hogger280 I merely pointed out, you can buy an L and fully restore it, I've done plenty, and it's very very very expensive. I took no offence to your comment, I'm telling you to put your money where you mouth is, and you seem to find it offensive.

[@frontagulus]

That's not logical. He said he only ran it on gas. He didn't say that it can only run on gas.

[@paulEG6]

That’s 8hp per litre😂
