I would think it's a Model 211, your hitch setup is a bit different than mine. ------------- 1945 AllisCletrac / 1948 "B" / 1953 "CA" / 1955 "WD-45" / 1963 "D-15 Series II" "No Air Support without Ground Support" |

200 series with the traction booster hitch. I spent many hours pulling a 212 (12 foot wide) with a WD45 diesel as a kid....you need to have the transport valve on the tractor in order for it to work right. You should be able to set the height of the sc tongue by using the crank on the disc and not a jack when hitching it up......then level out the disc once it is hooked up. We always ran the front a little deeper than the rear for the first pass, then leveled it out for the finish pass. ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

The transport valve was an optional box (with a knob on it that screws in or out) on the back of the tractor between the tractor hydraulics and the implement lift cylinder hose. It was necesarry in order for the traction booster drawbar to work properly. The purpose was to force the lift arms to raise before the hydraulic cylinder so that you got the weight transfer without lifting the disc out of the ground. ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS! This year: |

| We had the same disc on our farm and our loving father gave it away to someone when we upgraded to something newer. It was a cherry. I need to go tell dad that the things he gave away 20 years ago are worth allot of money now!!! Ryan |

Ours was still sitting in the trees back in South Dakota last time I checked. TB drawbar had been removed when we bought a JD 720D and didn't need it anymore. Last I saw it was laying out in the pasture. Disc was well used over the years, welded up in a number of places and the serrated front discs are worn to round....don't think it is worth much anymore....I guess I should take the good bearings off of it before my brother scraps it. ------------- ALLIS EXPRESS!

I've got a 200-14ft i use as my only disc. Have a set of D-17 wheel weights on each side up front and a rock box built over the disc sections,has several hundred pounds of rock on it. Got 20 inch blades, realy cuts, There a great finish disc,with three section harrow behind. I'd like to find a 18ft 200,but you have to get farther south to find them, or go up in the cold country bouve the border. Just keep playing with that disc. I'd put a two sedtion drag behind, realy help bust up those claudes of dirt. ------------- '64 B-10, '58 D-14, '60 D-15D, '58 D-17D, D-19, 170, 2-185D, 190, 68 D-21 11, 72-220, 7000,7030, F-2 G,w/5 Heads,L-2 G, 330 No-Till |
