    Posted: 23 Jun 2012 at 12:37pm
I just bought an old allis chalmers tractor. The previous owner thought it was a 1957. I do not see any tag giving a year or model. It is a 4 cyl., gas.,tricycle front, 4speed w/ hi and lo. How can I tell what year and model it is. I would like to get a manual, but there seems to be a lot of diff. models.  Thanks Gregg

Post a picture on here. If it has the power director( high forward, neutral , middle and low  at back) it's a D series tractor first ones were made in 57.
 Tractor number is stamped on the left side torque tube (bell housing) flange under the air cleaner. That number and the chart on this site will tell you the model and year of production.

I found the numbers 149-5963M, stamped on the engine block left side rear under the air cleaner. Not sure if this is the serial number.

That's the motor number, 149 means it is likely a D-14.  The serial number should be same place, but on the torque tube, 1 inch to the back side of the motor#.

I guess what I have here is a 1957 D14. That should help me find a manual for it.

Gregg,   Welcome to the Forum.  It is a delight to hear that you have a 1957 D-14.  The tractor my father was selling when I came home from my two year stint in the Army.  The fact that it is a tricycle makes it even more interesting to me. 
Let us know how we can be of service.  It will be our pleasure.
Good Luck!

Welcome to the forum. FIL has a D14, great tractor.
We have to watch what we call old. When I told him that his D14 was old it shocked him, he never thought of it as being an antique.  LOL
The universal answer to all questions is yes, how much do you want to spend?

I used my tractor for the first time tonight. We were out antiquing and someone had two large concrete deer for the yard. It took 4 of us to load each one in my truck. My wife said that was great but how are we going to unload them. I said we will use the allis chalmers to unload them since I have a boom attachment. When we got home I was able to pick the deer up with ease and set them where we wanted them.  My wife said the old tractor earned her keep.

I was wondering how much air pressure should I have in the tires on my D-14, front and rear? It has the tricycle front end. Thanks

Gregg, I have a 1957 D-14 and it is one of my favorites. Used it tonight to unload hay. It is very useful. If you can get traction it will try to pull just about anything. Love those allis govenors.

Gregg, no more than 20 pounds in the rear tires.  Fronts you can put up to 30.

I second the 12-14 in the rear.Just enough to make it set up on the tread.Carrying heavy load or plowing may require more but might not.

Do you have a true tricycle front end? One front wheel or two fronts close to one another? Just curious.
