Engine

The engine is a Perkins AD 3.152 diesel 3-cylinder liquid-cooled with a displacement of 152.7 ci/2.5 L and a bore/stroke of 3.60x5.00 inches/91 x 127 mm. It has a power output of 40 hp/29.8 kW and a compression ratio of 18.5:1. The engine is equipped with a paper element air cleaner and has a rated RPM of 2250. The intake and exhaust valve clearance is 0.010 inches/0.254 mm (hot).

Transmission

The transmission is a 10-speed partial synchronized/6-speed with an engine power output of 40 hp/29.8 kW. The drawbar (tested) is 36.71 hp/27.4 kW and the PTO (tested) is 40.36 hp/30.1 kW. The transmission is designed to provide smooth shifting and efficient power transfer. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including farming, landscaping, and construction.

Brakes

The brakes are differential mechanical dry disc. The Perkins AD 3.152 diesel engine provides a power output of 40 hp/29.8 kW, which is sufficient to operate the brakes effectively. The brakes are designed to provide reliable stopping power and are suitable for a wide range of applications. The engine oil capacity is 6.5 qts/6.2 L, and the coolant capacity is 8 qts/7.6 L.

Steering

The steering is hydrostatic power/manual (on basic models) and is powered by a Perkins 2.5L 3-cylinder diesel engine. The steering is designed to provide precise control and maneuverability, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. The hydrostatic power steering system provides smooth and responsive steering, while the manual steering system is reliable and easy to maintain.

Common Problems

Users have reported issues with the chassis, which is a 4x2 2WD. Some users have also reported problems with the steering, which is hydrostatic power/manual (on basic models). The brakes have been known to wear out quickly, especially if the tractor is used for heavy-duty applications. The transmissions have also been known to develop problems over time, particularly if they are not properly maintained.

What Users Like

Users appreciate the Allis Chalmers 160's ag front tires, which are 6.00-16, and the ag rear tires, which are 13.6-28/14.9-28. These tires provide excellent traction and stability, making the tractor suitable for a wide range of applications. Users also appreciate the tractor's smooth and responsive steering, which makes it easy to maneuver in tight spaces. The tractor's powerful engine and efficient transmission are also popular features, as they provide reliable performance and efficient power transfer.
