Register Intro

The Register

Very shortly some data of tractor numbers will be on this site, no owners will be listed publicly, but I am trawling through the numbers of confirmed tractors and are well over 100 Tractors and Crawlers thus far.

If you have an Allis Chalmers please get in touch by sending an email to aussieallischalmers@outlook.com

Feature Tractor 1

Feature Tractor

To kick things along a bit I thought for the first Feature Tractor I would add my first restoration project. If you would like to share your tractor(s) please don't hesitate in emailing me at aussieallischalmers@outlook.com

My Allis Chalmers starting point will be whole other story for down the track. I had been on the lookout for an Allis of my own for just on twelve months when we found the WF presented here. Having not ever seen a WF in the flesh there was the rarity factor which appealed to me whilst attending a vintage tractor pull and display in Wunghnu Victoria. The tractor was owned by a collector of all makes of Vintage tractors in the area and after striking up conversation he was willing to sell the tractor to me. We happily collected the WF on July 1st 1995.

As first sighted at the Wunghnu Vintage Tractor Pull in 1995.

The tractor itself was an older restoration that ran very well and was able to be enjoyed straight away. As time went on it was decided to give the tractor a tidy up and paint it to match the rest of our collection as previously it had been repainted the later shade of Persian Orange. Also on the list of jobs was to replace the front tyres which were worn through and change a few old gaskets on the engine, otherwise there was nothing else to do.

Getting ready for a repaint in early 1996

Luckily through my grandfather we had some good connections in the Vintage Tractor hobby who helped with the final painting and tuning prior to it's rally debut at the Echuca Steam Rally in 1996.

The tractor itself is serial number WF5577 making it a 1949 build.

First Rally with the WF after a repaint.

Welcome

Welcome to the Australian Allis Chalmers Registry.






This site is designed to help link owners of Allis Chalmers products here in Australia and assist in restorations and parts supply whilst also looking at general numbers of these machines delivered to Australia. There was a great deal of work on a registry completed a number of years ago by the late Owen Triggell, hopefully some of his work can be incorporated into this project.






Allis Chalmers have a long history in Australia and there seemingly was some very good dealers in certain areas with large saturation. Dealer History is something we would like to cover in the future so if you have information to share that would be greatly appreciated. Also if you have tractors or parts for sale you would like to share or have seen please forward those also.






If you have an Allis Chalmers tractor or implement we would love to hear from you, entries into the register are confidential if the owner requests, and no entries will be shared without prior permission to protect the owners.
