I think you'll find that the "bible" is the book entitled "ALLIS-CHALMERS Farm Equipment 1914-1985" by Norm Swinford. It is the best and most accurate reference book an Allis owner/restorer can have. The Owner's Manual, Repair Manual and Parts Manual originally published by Allis-Chalmers for your individual tractor and available from this site's owner, Darin Stratton, are a must if you intend to really "tear into" your tractor.

All of the ones that Norm Swinford wrote are must haves. I also have this one: and this one: Both are good, each in there own ways. |

I agree that Swinfords 1914-1985 and Wendels Allis Chalmers Story are great but I like Deans Allis Data book for carrying with me.

An Industrial Heritage, it is a little blue book packed with loads of info. Not sure on the authors name, but he was a professor or dean at Iowa state university I believe.

Hello Friends, I know this thread is a few years old, but can someone with one of these publications tell me the date of manufacture based on serial# for the model HD6G crawler loader. I'm looking to purchase one soon and would like to be 100% sure of the year when I go see it. Thanks in advance, Steve

Made from 1955-65. #101 is the first no, and # 18,189 is the start of the last year of production, from C.H. Wendel's book...

This book is a great history of the company and everything it had gone through into the 1970s. It does not give any details about the tractors they manufactured. A good read nevertheless if you can find it.

Very true, its a great read,, tells of the trips to Saudis Aribia and buying into Jimmy Carter's administration with the hand shake of Kiln N Gas,,,, and that went way south!
