Engine Make Model:
Allis-Chalmers 3500 Mk II Series Diesel
Displacement:
Approximately 5.2 Liters (318 cubic inches)
Horsepower Rated:
Approximately 120-140 PTO HP (Varies by specific configuration and test conditions)
Torque Peak:
Torque figures vary, but designed for high pulling power.
Injection Type:
Direct Injection, typically with a Bosch or similar rotary injection pump.
Cooling Type:
Water-Cooled
Cylinder Configuration:
Inline 6-Cylinder
Transmission Type:
Allis-Chalmers Power Shift Transmission (e.g., 20-speed)
Optional Transmission:
Less common, but some models may have had alternative configurations or were available with manual gearboxes.
Powershift Benefits:
Allows for on-the-go shifting of gears without disengaging the clutch, enhancing productivity and ease of operation.
Fluid Spec:
Requires specific tractor hydraulic fluid (e.g., THF, UTTO) - Consult manual for exact specifications and brands.
Wheelbase:
Approximately 100-110 inches (Varies by configuration)
Operating Weight:
Around 10,000 - 12,000 lbs (Unballasted, base model)
Drawbar Horsepower:
Typically higher than PTO HP due to drivetrain efficiency, crucial for heavy draft work.
Infotainment Features:
Basic for its era. Primarily focused on mechanical and hydraulic function. Radio (AM/FM) if equipped with a cab, but not a primary focus.
Driver Assistance Systems:
None in the modern sense. Operator comfort and control were achieved through mechanical linkages and hydraulic assist.
Connectivity Features:
N/A (No electronic connectivity)
Engine Oil Change:
Typically 250-500 hours, depending on operating conditions. Manual will provide precise intervals and oil type.
Transmission Fluid Change:
Often around 1000-1200 hours for powershift transmissions. Manual is crucial for this.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Typically 1000-1200 hours, depending on filter service.
Engine Oil:
API CD or CE classification, SAE 15W-40 or 10W-30 (seasonal). Consult manual for exact viscosity and API rating.
Coolant:
Ethylene Glycol based antifreeze with corrosion inhibitors. 50/50 mix with distilled water. Manual will specify type and capacity.
Common Wear Items:
Powershift transmission clutches, hydraulic pump wear, seals in high-pressure systems, potential for injector pump issues with fuel quality.
Electrical System Quirks:
Older wiring harnesses can degrade. Troubleshooting often involves inspecting connections and grounds.
Maintenance Schedule Coverage
Schedule Detail:
Detailed breakdown of tasks at specific hour intervals (e.g., 100, 250, 500, 1000 hours) covering lubrication, filter changes, inspections, and adjustments.
Company Origin:
Allis-Chalmers was a prominent American manufacturer of agricultural machinery, industrial equipment, and electrical products, known for innovation.
Series Positioning:
The Model 7000 was part of Allis-Chalmers' later generation of tractors, designed for medium to heavy-duty farm applications, often featuring more advanced transmissions and hydraulics than earlier models.
Production Years:
Mid to late 1970s (e.g., approximately 1977-1981, exact range may vary).
Factory:
Primary manufacturing was in the United States, often at their West Allis, Wisconsin plant.
