 Topic: D-19 diesel with turbo
Posted: 03 May 2012 at 3:44pm |
|
I've found a fella in my area that has a D-19 diesel with factory turbo charger. It's his toy machine and he's aware that it's not common. I've never come across one with the turbo. Were there many? Is this really a factory rarity or is it a modification made in years past? He and I were curious so I thought I'd bring it to the A-C bretheren for input.

Yes every D19 diesel has a factory turbo-Allis was the first to put a turbo on a row crop tractor.

Hmm, yep I let my stupid show. I'd always assumed the D21 was the first with a turbo but tractordata also made my error clear. Thanks for the info. I won't forget thist trivia.

I did some research on some firsts in diesel farm tractors for the Half Century of Progress show last year when we showcased the 50th anniversary of the D19 Turbocharged Diesel. I have the Nebraska test number for each tractor where available. Here is the results:
1931- Caterpillar Diesel Sixty: First Diesel Farm Tractor, First Diesel Farm Tractor on tracks (Test 208)
1935- McCormick-Deering WD40: First Diesel farm tractor on wheels (Test 246)
1936- Caterpillar RD8: First farm tractor over 100 horsepower, First farm tractor on tracks over 100 horsepower (Test 257)
1959- John Deere 8010: First Farm Tractor on wheels over 100 Horsepower, First 4wd over 100 Horsepower
1961- Allis Chalmers D19 Diesel: First turbocharged Farm Tractor,First tractor tested at Nebraska with a turbo (Test 811), First Turbocharged 2wd, First Turbocharged row crop
1961- International 4300: First turbocharged 4wd, First turbocharged over 100 horsepower farm tractor(Test 815)
1962- John Deere 5010: First 2wd over 100 horsepower (Test 828)
1963- Allis Chalmers D21 Series 1: (all Series 1 were non turbocharged) The D21 was introduced with 24.5-32 rear tires, At some point during the Series 1 production 18.4-34 (18.4-38 may have been available) rear tires were made a factory option ( an adjustable front axle was standard from what I can tell) making the D21 the: First over 100 horsepower row crop farm tractor (Test 855)
May 19, 1965- Allis Chalmers D21 Series 2 production begins at serial # 2201 (all Series 2 were turbocharged): First over 100 horsepower turbocharged row crop farm tractor (Test 904)

Yes not rare, but alot less common than the 19 gas. Also its much harder to find one in good shape.
