Introduction
Allis Chalmers 808GT Garden Tractor
The Allis Chalmers 808GT is a garden tractor produced between 1976 and 1982 in Port Washington, Wisconsin, USA. Designed for residential property maintenance and lawn care, this model belongs to the 810GT series and was positioned as a compact, maneuverable machine for homeowners.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a Briggs & Stratton single-cylinder, air-cooled gasoline engine. It features a vertical shaft configuration with a displacement of 318 cc (19.44 ci). The engine delivers 8 hp (6.0 kW) at a rated speed of 3600 RPM. Lubrication is maintained via an oiled foam air cleaner, and the system has an oil capacity of 1.1 liters. Starting is facilitated by a 12-volt electric starter system.
Transmission and Drivetrain
Power is transferred to the wheels through a belt-driven gear transmission, which provides three forward gears and one reverse gear. The drivetrain is a two-wheel drive configuration. Engagement for the independent mid-PTO is managed by a mechanical idler pulley clutch, allowing for the operation of the standard 36-inch mower deck.
Chassis and Handling
The 808GT utilizes manual steering and mechanical band brakes for operator control. It features an open operator station design. The machine rests on a 115 cm (45.5 inches) wheelbase, with turf-specific tires measuring 15-6.00x6 at the front and 18-9.50x8 at the rear, contributing to a total tractor weight of approximately 190 kg (420 lbs).
Conclusion
The Allis Chalmers 808GT is a utilitarian garden tractor suited for light landscaping and mowing tasks. Its simple mechanical construction and compact dimensions make it a manageable entry-level machine for property maintenance, reflecting the standard design practices for garden tractors during the late 1970s.
