Introduction
Allis Chalmers E 30-60 Standard-Tread Tractor
The Allis Chalmers E 30-60, also known as the Thresherman's Special, is a vintage standard-tread tractor produced by Allis Chalmers. Similar in design to the E 25-40 model, this variant was engineered with larger bore pistons specifically to enhance its belt power capabilities for stationary agricultural applications.
Engine and Power
The tractor is powered by an Allis Chalmers gasoline engine featuring a liquid-cooling system. The engine utilizes a 5.25x6.50 inch (133 x 165 mm) bore and stroke configuration. It is rated at 30 hp (22.4 kW) at the drawbar, with a belt power capacity of 60 hp (44.7 kW), making it particularly suited for powering stationary machinery via belt drives.
Transmission and Mechanical Layout
The drivetrain consists of a manual transmission providing two forward gears and one reverse gear. The tractor utilizes a two-wheel drive system and features manual steering. The operator interface consists of an open operator station, typical of the era's design standards.
Specifications and Production
The machine has a shipping weight of 6,280 lbs (2848 kg). It is estimated that only 70 units of this specific model were manufactured. At the time of its introduction in 1934, the original retail price was $1,025.
Conclusion
The Allis Chalmers E 30-60 is a specialized tractor designed primarily for stationary belt work. Due to its specific engineering focus on belt power rather than heavy field plowing—which was excluded from its warranty—it represents a niche historical piece intended for threshing and similar stationary operations.
