Not sure just what you are asking or why you've posted a question about Allis Chambers in the New Holland section. :truth:

Maybe Greg would have a little more to say if you could elaborate on the subject a little more yourself. I think he loves a good lively discussion but he seems to be having trouble getting any traction with out an opposing view. :winky:

I'm not much of an Allis Chambers man. I know the Allis Chambers G had a rear mounted engine. Is this what you are asking about?

If you have a spare one or two laying around that you would like to part with real cheap, let me know kind’a on the sly. I wouldn't want the big boys to get to them before I get a chance at 'em.

:cpu:

I moved this thread to the Allis Chalmers section so it will get more visibility and comment.

Hey bigallis, I saw an AC Model G with the motor in the back at the Missouri State Fair today. It was restored by a high school kid. I didn't realize they were so small. I took pics with a borrowed camera. Should be able to post them in a few days.

Thanx for moving it to the right place. I dont know how to do that. Yes i would love to see pics of those old things, the last one i saw was in 1973, when mr. Hubbard was still driving a 1956 chrysler station wagon to church, he had one in his barn, he also had a "C" cab Mack truck , about a 1919 i think.

Here's an AC Model G that is at the Missouri State Fair. It was restored by a high school kid in FFA. He did a great job. Note the plow disc combo in the front.

[Big Allis]

P71,

The first riding mower I got to use was a 5 HP 25" cut Western Auto "Wizard". It was pretty fast for a rider. I guess it had to be to make up for the that little 25" cut.

If any of you guys want to be an entrepreneur, and start manufacturing rear engine tractors, check out this web site:

http://www.tuff-bilt.com/

These look similar to the old Allis Chalmers machines. Also check out the video of farming in the Philippines:

yes, mine had a "U shaped tiller" for steering it, not really a steering wheel like used today. and pull start, techumse engine, My dad would say bad words trying to start it.mg:
The rear wheels were about 6 inches in diameter.
