Last Updated: June 2024

Overview

The Allis Chalmers FD3 is a utilitarian tractor known for its straightforward design, suited for a range of farm tasks. It features a two-wheel-drive (2WD) chassis and is equipped with a manual 8-speed transmission, including 8 forward and 4 reverse gears. The tractor's powerplant is somewhat ambiguous, as details suggest both a 2-cylinder and a 4-cylinder diesel engine made by Vendeuvre and Perkins respectively, each delivering 25 horsepower at a rated RPM of 2200. The FD3's weight is substantial at 3,150 pounds, suggesting a sturdy build for reliability and performance in various agricultural settings. Despite the discrepancies in the bore and stroke measures provided, the engine's displacement is roughly 1.6 liters. Ag tires are specified with potential measurement inconsistencies; however, the tread suggests adaptability for different row widths, beneficial for field operations. Notably, the tractor's length and height are specified, informing users of its size for planning purposes in storage and operation.
