The Allis Chalmers FD5 is a utility tractor built for everyday farm work. It has a 2-wheel drive system and a manual transmission with 8 forward gears and 4 reverse gears. This gives farmers good control over their speed for different tasks. The tractor is powered by a Vendeuvre Type 66 engine, which is air-cooled and runs on diesel fuel. With 3 cylinders and 50 horsepower, this engine offers average power for a tractor of its size.
The FD5 is compact but sturdy, measuring 129.9 inches long, 68.9 inches wide, and 63 inches tall. It weighs 5,412 pounds, which is about average for utility tractors. The tractor has agricultural tires, with smaller ones in front (5.5-20) and larger ones in the back (12-38). It also features a Category II hitch, making it compatible with many farm implements. The electric starter and 12-volt system make it easy to get the tractor running, even in cold weather.
