Allis Chalmers L
The Allis Chalmers L is a utility tractor built for standard tread work. It's a 2WD machine with manual steering and a simple gear transmission. The tractor has 2 forward gears and 1 reverse gear, making it easy to operate. Under the hood, you'll find a big 6-cylinder gasoline engine made by Allis Chalmers. This engine is liquid-cooled and has a very high displacement of 884.3 ci. It runs at a low 1010 RPM, which is unusual for tractors. The L model is quite heavy, weighing 4400 lb, which is about average for its class. It's a long tractor at 135 inches, with a width of 66 inches and a height of 62 inches. One unique feature is its steel wheels - 32x6 in the front and 46x12 in the rear. The tractor starts with a hand-crank, which was common for older models.
