Engine Family:
Allis Chalmers Inline Gasoline/Diesel Engines
Engine D10:
Likely a 4-cylinder, gasoline or LP gas engine (e.g., Wisconsin-derived or Allis Chalmers manufactured) for the D10. Specific displacement and power ratings would be detailed in the manual.
Engine D12:
Likely a 4-cylinder diesel engine for the D12, possibly a 157 ci or similar displacement from Allis Chalmers' own engine line. Specifics would be in the manual.
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 25-40 PTO horsepower range, depending on specific engine variant and model.
Torque Characteristics:
Designed for robust torque at lower RPMs, suitable for agricultural applications.
Fuel Type:
Gasoline, LP Gas (for some D10 variants), Diesel (for D12 variants).
Carburetion:
Updraft or downdraft carburetor systems (for gasoline models).
Injection System:
Inline injection pump and injectors (for diesel models).
Transmission Type:
Manual transmission, likely a constant mesh gearbox with multiple forward and reverse gears.
Optional Features:
May have options like a creeper gear or a different gear ratio spread, specific to series III or particular configurations.
Gear Count:
Typically 6 or 8 forward speeds, plus reverse.
Clutch:
Single-plate dry clutch.
Wheelbase:
Refer to specific model variant in manual; typically around 70-75 inches.
Length:
Refer to specific model variant in manual; typically around 100-110 inches.
Width:
Refer to specific model variant in manual; varies with tire size, typically 60-70 inches at widest point.
Operating Weight:
Approximately 2500-3500 lbs, depending on configuration and ballast.
Engine Oil Change:
Typically every 50-100 operating hours, depending on engine type and operating conditions.
Transmission Oil Change:
Every 500-1000 operating hours, or annually.
Hydraulic Fluid Change:
Every 500-1000 operating hours, or annually, with filter replacement.
Engine Oil Type:
API Service Classification CD or SE, viscosity typically SAE 30 or 10W-30 (refer to manual for exact specification and ambient temperature range).
Transmission Hydraulic Fluid Type:
Allis Chalmers Hy-Tran or equivalent universal tractor transmission fluid (UTTO).
Coolant Type:
Ethylene glycol-based antifreeze with water, typically a 50/50 mix.
Common Wear Items:
Wear in the transmission synchronizers, hydraulic pump wear, and carburetor issues are common with age and use.
Electrical Failures:
Fraying wiring insulation, worn contact points in distributors, and generator/alternator output issues can occur.
Engine Issues:
Valve seat wear, piston ring wear, and cooling system leaks are common due to age and operating hours.
Heritage:
Allis Chalmers was a prominent American manufacturer of agricultural and construction machinery, known for its innovation and distinctive 'Persian Orange' color.
D10 Evolution:
The D10 was a popular utility tractor. Series III likely represents refinements in engine, hydraulics, or transmission compared to earlier D10 models.
D12 Evolution:
The D12 was typically positioned as a slightly larger or more powerful model than the D10, often featuring a diesel engine option. Series III would indicate updates.
Production Period:
These models were primarily produced in the 1950s and 1960s.
