A Guide to Allis-Chalmers Farm Tractors

For more than 80 years, Allis-Chalmers tractors have been a familiar sight in the fields. Their work performance, however, tells only part of the story. This 120-page illustrated book by Norm Swinford presents a broader view of these well-known machines.

Richly illustrated, the book covers all Allis-Chalmers tractor models produced between 1914 and 1985. It documents successes and setbacks, technical challenges, design choices, and major engineering achievements. The content is supported by more than 250 black-and-white photographs.

A dedicated chapter on tractor performance and testing provides detailed technical insight. Collectors will also value the 11-page appendix, which includes Nebraska test results, paint colors, and serial number information.
