    reault 80 s hydraulic conversion

    Allis Chalmers imported Renault tractors and sold them as AC160, or AC OneSixty. Highly desired by collectors.

    Don't quite see the concept here.

    Tell me about "the 80's"

    One thing good about the 80's was the introduction of the Buick with 3.8 engine. Still many around.

    Tell me about "the 80's"

    You could study up on Jack Welch and Ivan Boesky. I think there were changes in bookkeeping rules. Used to be a well-run company had funds for replacing old buildings and equipment and for paying pensions. Then outsiders started buying them up to cash out the funds into their own pockets...

    Looking for another idea.

    I don't know if it would happen here, but I had an old Ford flathead six that overheated. Finally figured out that it sucked the intake hose shut. Needed wire coil inside to fix it.

    Old tractor.

    My guess is that it is a Russian Universal. They had a production based on a McCormick Deering, but modified the design to suit their own conditions and ideas.

    2024.04.10 Tractor Pics

    It looks like a late 20's Buick. They were admired and many ended up as homebuilt tractors, etc. A big unit like that probably powered a feed grinder. My dad used an old Continental car engine for that purpose. He used an old oil drum to hold the coolant. My barn still shows a scorched...

    2024.04.11 Tractor Pics

    We had an old John Bean pump and sprayer that was pulled by horses. It was ground driven. The one in this photo probably had an engine such as the Cushman vertical engine. They were also used to power grain binders. I had a similar spray pump that came with my M John Deere...

    Help Identify old Fordson 1920-1940ish Maybe a N?

    It looks all-American to me. The water-wash air-cleaner is missing. The carb looks like it is from a Model A car. The usual Ford coils and timer have been replaced by an aftermarket Bosch magneto. A fairly common conversion. The rear wheels are cut-offs, converted to rubber-tired rims. Also...

    Help with identification ford 3000

    At a glance, it looks like a regular 3000 gas. The carburetor and starter don't look like the American version. If it had a four cylinder transplant, the Ford tractor engine from a 5000 could be used. But it would require stretching the hood and the radius rods. Can you give us the numbers...

    Allis-Chalmers DeLuxe

    Doesn't look stupid to me. I guess I would have tried to have the bucket closer to the front wheels, though. With much of a load, it would have been hard to steer, but they all were. This one's load is limited by the rear wheels lifting off the ground.

    Looking for a new toy

    When I first started looking at UTV's, about 20 yrs ago, I identified the Kawasaki Mule diesel as my top choice. But, too expensive. I took a liking to a used Cub Cadet. It seemed like a very rational design, but I soon realized that I disliked the snowmobile engine and variable pulley...

    New to me tractor

    It was built in November 1965. Thus a 1966 model year. It looks British because of the fender style, The "B" in front of the serial number and the rear wheels.

    Fordson Major loader

    I have a Sherman loader off a Fordson Major. It was built by Johnson Hydraulics in Minneapolis. Heavily built.
