Introduction
Allis-Chalmers 210 Row-Crop Tractor
The Allis-Chalmers 210 is a row-crop tractor manufactured in West Allis, Wisconsin, between 1970 and 1973. Designed for heavy-duty agricultural operations, this model represents a significant entry in the Allis-Chalmers 200 series, offering a balance of mechanical simplicity and high-output performance.
Engine and Performance
The tractor is powered by a 7.0-liter (426 cubic inch) 6-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine. It features liquid cooling and a compression ratio of 16:1. Rated at 2200 RPM, this powertrain provides the necessary torque for demanding field tasks. The fuel system and air cleaner are designed for sustained operational periods, supported by a 12-volt electrical starting system.
Transmission and Drivetrain
The 210 utilizes a sliding gear transmission providing 8 forward and 2 reverse speeds, organized into low and high ranges. Power is delivered to the ground through a two-wheel drive system, managed by a 355.6 mm dry disc clutch. The tractor is equipped with power steering and disc brakes to ensure maneuverability and operator control.
Hydraulics and PTO
Equipped with an open-center hydraulic system, the tractor features two valves and a pump flow capacity of 21.5 gpm (81.4 lpm). The rear power take-off (PTO) is independent and operates at 1000 RPM, controlled by a hydraulic disc clutch for efficient power transfer to external implements.
Dimensions and Stability
With a wheelbase of 100 inches (254 cm) and a base operating weight of 12,425 lbs (5,635 kg), the machine provides substantial stability. It is configured with a rear bar axle of 3.625 inches in diameter. The operator platform was originally open, with a QCS cab option introduced in 1972.
Conclusion
The Allis-Chalmers 210 is a heavy-duty, 135-horsepower tractor engineered for large-scale row-crop farming. With 1,471 units produced, it remains a notable example of early 1970s American agricultural engineering, valued for its mechanical robustness and straightforward design.
