The 175 is a great tractor, my dad has one and that’s what I grew up driving. He rebuilt his engine (perkins diesel) at around 7000 hours with just the normal maintenance items until that point. As with all Allis’ you want to check the hi and lo ranges and gears to make sure ithey don’t pop out. It’s not the end of the world if they do but it’s going to cost another $1000 to fix it.

A good friend of mine has one with an AC loader on it. Has been a great tractor for him. Over 5,000 hrs on it with no issues. Works well for round bales. One of his most dependable tractors.

The main thing to check is the transmission jumping out of gear.  Also, if it has the front pump, the linkage from the crank pulley can strip out, but that is not a hard fix.  Leaking hydraulic lines and oil on the side of the engine are common over time.  I have to agree with Victory.  Without a loader, it handles great - feels light and easy to maneuver.  Put a loader on it, the good sight lines and handling disappear.
Without a loader, it is a great field tractor.  I spent many hours on mine when I was young.  The Perkins engine is very efficient.  It's even better since I restored it 2 years ago.

Driving it is the way to check, if they’re really bad 4th will pop out just driving it down the driveway, otherwise check 3rd by driving it down a hill so the ground speed catches up with the engine speed. If it stays in gear your good to go. Usually it’s 3rd gear that’s the worst.

Usually 3rd gear going downhill with a load of corn behind you PUSHING the tractor is when they do it (if they do it).

Gear jumping is caused by operator abuse, not a manufacturing defect.  IF the operator ground gears shifting between forward and reverse (like when doing loader work), that's what leads to expensive problems.
