Introduction

Allis-Chalmers RC (1938-1941)

The Allis-Chalmers RC is a row-crop tractor produced between 1938 and 1941 in West Allis, Wisconsin. Developed as a more economical alternative to the successful WC model, the RC utilized the engine from the smaller B model housed within the robust WC chassis, ensuring full compatibility with existing WC implements.

Engine and Performance

The tractor is powered by an Allis-Chalmers 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled vertical I-head engine with a displacement of 125.2 cubic inches (2.1 L). It operates at a rated speed of 1500 RPM with a compression ratio of 4.75:1, generating approximately 18 horsepower. The engine follows a 1-2-4-3 firing order and was designed to run on distillate fuel, a common choice for agricultural machinery of that era.

Transmission and Drive

The RC features a two-wheel drive configuration paired with a non-synchronized gear transmission. This system provides 4 forward speeds and 1 reverse speed, allowing the operator to select appropriate gear ratios for various field tasks and implement operations.

Dimensions and Design

Measuring 126 inches (320 cm) in length and 167 cm in height, the RC maintains a compact footprint suitable for row-crop applications. The tractor was offered with various tire and wheel options, including 4.75-15 front tires and 10-28 rear tires, or steel wheel configurations for specialized field conditions.

Conclusion

"With a total production of 5,501 units, the Allis-Chalmers RC represents a specific niche in the manufacturer's history. While it was eventually superseded by the more commercially successful Model C, it remains a significant example of inter-model component sharing, designed to provide farmers with a cost-effective yet versatile machine."

Introduction

Production Information of Allis Chalmers, RC

The production information of the tractor (RC) includes details about its manufacturing.

The Allis Chalmers RC was a less-expensive version of the WC, using the engine from a B in the chassis of the WC. It used the same frame so it could mount the same implements as the WC. The RC sold poorly, and was replaced by the successful Allis model C.
