| Norms book saids they started making 175 gas at serial number 2153 in December 1973. Makes it a good model to me as I was born the same time... The only other number I could find was that total 175 production was 5442 but that is both gas and diesel. The neat fact is that the 175 gas was the last gas tractor allis chalmers made. So as the end of the gas tractors that is kind of cool in itself. |

| Personally I would rather have a gas. That's just because I know more about the gas motors and they're cheaper to work on. They're not rare, but they're weren't many built either, and those that were don't seem to change hands much. A nice 175 gas here sold a couple years ago for $12,000 |

| Did any one on here get any of the tractors today? $5000 for the 175 gas and $8000 for the 200 with factory cab 18.4 x 34 radials no hydraulic pto 540 only. Old farmer retirement sale everything was neat and well kept. $80 and $85 for allis weights a piece |

Don't see many around at all. Most of Diesels. That is a good price for that 175 ------------- Charlie '48 B, '51 CA, '56 WD45 '61 D17, '63 D12, '65 D10 , '68 One-Ninety XTD |

| As Dan said the 175 was the last gas tractor AC made and I would love to have one. I think Norms book gives production numbers on how many were made. Did you get it? |

| I couldn't find the number of gas or diesel. Just the combined number above. It could be that the separate numbers are in there that book is loaded with information. |

| According to Norm Swinford's book, there were a total of 1,009 175 gas tractors made and that was for only three years out of the 11 years they were made from 1970 to 1980. Starting serial number was 1001 in 1970 and the ending serial number was 7502 and that was an approximate ending serial number. Rick |

| The above is for the total of 175's that were made...just want to clarify that. The 175 gas tractors were only made from 1974 to 1976. Rick |

| Thanks for correcting the numbers guys. I feel there are too many charts in that book until I want to find some odd fact... |

| I have a 175 gas. I really like that tractor. It has an issue at the moment. Lol. I was hooking it to a hay Tedder and the engine ran away, I couldn't kill it till I finally cut the hose from breather to carb, and smothered it out with my shirt. I was expecting to get nailed with a rod at any time. It did drop a valve and got one piston and sleeve. I have had the head redone, just haven't had a chance to fix it yet. The tractor only has 2400 hours on it. I was going to fix the one cylinder, but I have decided to just completely rebuild it. As I said, it's a really nice tractor. |

I would love to have a 175 Gas. They are great loader tractors. Handy for many things, not hard on gas if they ain't worked hard. I had rather listen to them than the Perkins, but that 301 in a 185 is a different story. ------------- No greater gift than healthy grandkids! |

| That my friend, is why diesels became popular......they ran cheaper per hour on fuel use. Nothing wrong with 4 hrs to a tank on a gasser....that was all anyone expected when plowing or discing...4 hrs. |

I average 10-15 hours on a tank of diesel with my 175 and 8' Bush Hog depending on field conditions. $1.50 a gallon off-road diesel and charging $75 an hour makes for a nice 10 hour day. My gas 170 ran about 1-2 gallons an hour with a 6' cutter...$50 an hour. Going to diesel basically made me an extra $250 a day. ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

Quite simple. In the mid 70s, demand for 60 HP gas powered tractors (of any color) had disappeared. Fuel economy of the diesels had them beat. The only gas tractors were lawn and garden tractors. ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Are you saying you saved $250 a day in fuel cost? Seems a bit high but no doubt that diesels are efficient. That’s why the world is running on diesel. Eldon if you happen to read this maybe clarify for us.
