Identify tractor

[Mark Poss]

This tractor is coming up for auction on Saturday. It’s advertised as an Allis Chalmers 1933. The gas tank and the hood doesn’t look right to me and also the hand brakes mounted on top of the axles. Am I wrong or any idea of what this tractor is would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark

I'm no expert on AC tractors but the hood on this one doesn't look to me like a hood any tractor manufacturer would use. The whole tractor to me looks older than early 1930's but again I don't know a lot about AC tractors of that time era.

Definitely NOT an Allis Chalmers. It may be a Wallis. I am leaning towards something Farmall, but in all actuality I would say it is a 1920s orphan tractor.

The square fuel tank and rectangle decal look Moline to me, but the remainder looks composite. Jim

Nebraska tractor test #192 looks very similar to this. Different radiator, not as square on top, might be a replacement, but the tank, hood and wheels look very much the same.

Sorry for the confusion I thought that on the sale bid it read 1933 Allis Chalmers. I plan on going to the auction Saturday I’ll post what it sells for. Thanks for all the replies, Mark

It did say AC when first listed. Someone must have corrected them.

Very rare

Also on this auction is a 1950 Super M and a 1942 Super W6. I don’t think that the supers came out until 1953.

Yeah the years are definitely wrong, or the tractors aren’t supers.

For a time starting in the 1930s and for the next 30 years, a manufacturer's farm machinery dealer wasn't the only means of buying a tractor

Well that paint color looks like early AC so that may have caused some confusion.
