Introduction

Allis Chalmers B-210 Garden Tractor

The Allis Chalmers B-210 is a garden tractor produced between 1970 and 1972 at the company's facility in Lexington, South Carolina, USA. It served as a compact, maneuverable machine designed for residential property maintenance and light agricultural tasks.

Engine and Powertrain

The tractor is powered by a Briggs & Stratton 243431 single-cylinder, air-cooled gasoline engine. It features a displacement of 393 cc (24 ci) and produces 10 hp (7.5 kW) at a rated speed of 3600 RPM. The engine utilizes an oiled foam air cleaner and an electric starter system.

Transmission and Drive System

The B-210 employs a belt-driven variator transmission known as the Vari-Shift system. This setup provides a wide range of speeds with 21 forward and 7 reverse gears, controlled by a three-gear box combined with a seven-position variator. The machine operates as a two-wheel-drive unit with manual steering.

Power Take-Off and Implements

Versatility is supported by three live power take-off (PTO) points: rear, mid, and front. This configuration allows for the simultaneous or independent operation of various implements, most notably the 42-inch mower deck designed for this model.

Dimensions and Chassis

The tractor features an open operator station and sits on a 48-inch (121 cm) wheelbase. With an overall length of 72 inches (182 cm) and a width of 34 inches (86 cm), it remains compact for storage and navigation. The unit has a base weight of 745 lbs (337 kg) and offers a front axle clearance of 5.25 inches (13 cm).

Conclusion

The Allis Chalmers B-210 is a robust garden tractor suited for users requiring a reliable, gear-versatile machine for mowing and light utility work. Its combination of live PTOs and a unique variator transmission makes it a functional piece of equipment for collectors and property owners alike.
