A Guide to Allis-Chalmers Farm Tractors

For more than 80 years farmers and admirers have seen Allis-Chalmers farm tractors working in the fields. But field performance is just a fraction of the story of these venerable machines, as you will find out in this 120-page book by Norm Swinford.
Settle into this photo-packed guide and you will follow all the models from 1914 to 1985. The fits and the starts, the headaches and the wrong turns, the strokes of genius and the engineering victories they are all here in this book.

An especially interesting section of the book is called Tractor Performance and Testing. The serious collector will love the 11-page appendix with Nebraska results, paint colors, and serial numbers.
A very unique section of the book is called Math Your Tractor Understands and covers the calculation of horsepower and other characteristics. Over 250 black-and-white photos.

The Proud Heritage of AGCO Tractors

With the acquisition of Deutz-Allis in 1990, the Allis-Gleaner Corporation (AGCO) became an industry powerhouse. AGCO manufactures and markets multiple product brands through multiple dealer networks, while maintaining the brand identity, quality, and innovative design of each of the product groups.

In the meantime following brands belong to AGCO: Challenger, Fendt, Gleaner, GSI, Massey-Ferguson, Row Gator, Terra Gator, Sunflower Manufacturing, Valtra and White Farm Equipment.

Each chapter in this lavishly illustrated volume focuses on a different company, providing a brief company history before concentrating on the tractor line. No other book provides as much detail about so many AGCO-related tractors!
