Description
Model U serial number 945. The ""U" was Allis-Chalmers' answer to the Ford's Fordson tractor and was first produced in 1929 in partnership with the United Tractor and Equipment Corporation. United was a group of Fordson dealers who contracted thith Allis for a new tractor, once Ford stopped North American production of the Fordson.. It was popular enough that it stayed in the A-C line until 1952. It weighed 4,000 pounds and produced up to 30 HP, particularly later in its production run. The "U" also had the distinction of being the first farm tractor optionally equipped by the manufacturer with low-pressure rubber tires.
