I believe they were rated at 83 pto hp. most of them dyno more, and they have a tremendous torque rise. you can check out tractordata.com also. they do have a fair amount of mistakes though.

just out of curiosity what are some off the 6080's problems? ------------- Allis Express '65 190XT, 37 B, '72 170, '83 8030, and the IH 560 was a mistake |

Earlier models had problems with the thrust bearings. Earlier models also had thin drawbars that were susceptible to breaking - blame Fiat, they made them. I have a 1985 model and none of these problems apply to it. According to the local tractor wrecker I deal with, they said 6000s had a weak crown and pinion. I am very happy with my tractor though. It only has 4600 hours on it.

| They are great tractors, GOOD TRANSMISSIONS, NO GEAR JUMPING !!! shift on the go, but those engines have to be wound up to get any power, doing loader work I keep mine at about 1800 rpm, right above the turbo; you get under the turbo- your done ; very fuel efficent ; too bad these didnt come out sooner - might have given ALLIS a better fighting chance |

Cabs were designed by Allis but at least some were built at Crenlo in Rochester MN. They still had photo books a dozen years ago when I worked there showing that cab. ------------- -- --- .... .- -- -- .- -.. / .-- .- ... / .- / -- ..- .-. -.. . .-. .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .-.. -.. / .-. .- .--. .. ... - Wink I am a Russian Bot |

| Were 38 inch rear wheels/tires available and is this the same 8 hole pattern as the 180-185? |

| I believe 15.5-38s were an option. Not sure about the bolt pattern. The castings on these tractors are much thicker than those on a 185. You would need some really long lug bolts. |
