Introduction
Allis-Chalmers 416 Garden Tractor
The Allis-Chalmers 416 is a garden tractor produced in 1973 at the company's facility in Lexington, South Carolina, USA. Belonging to the 414 series, this model was designed for residential and light-duty landscaping applications, offering multiple transmission and power take-off configurations.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by an air-cooled engine with a displacement of 588 cc (35.89 ci), delivering 16 hp (11.9 kW). The engine is designed to run at a rated speed of 3600 RPM. It features a dry element air cleaner and requires 1.9 liters of oil, with a recommended oil change interval of 25 hours.
Transmission and Drive
Operators have the choice between two transmission systems: a four-speed belt-driven shuttle transmission or a belt-driven hydrostatic transmission. The shuttle version provides four forward and four reverse gears, requiring the operator to stop and set the lever to neutral or fully depress the clutch/brake pedal to shift. The hydrostatic option offers infinite forward and reverse speed control.
Power Take-Off and Hydraulics
The 416 features an independent front PTO engaged via an electric clutch. A rear PTO is available as an optional feature, operating at a standard speed of 540 RPM. These systems allow for the attachment of various implements, including a compatible 42-inch or 48-inch mower deck.
Mechanical and Dimensions
Built on a 48.1-inch wheelbase, the tractor utilizes a two-wheel drive system with manual steering. It is configured as an open operator station. The hydrostatic model weighs approximately 869 lbs (394 kg), while the shuttle version weighs 852 lbs (386 kg). It is equipped with lawn and turf tires, specifically 16-6.50x8 for the front and 23-10.50x12 for the rear.
