Differntial Lock

SmallSquare · Dec 2, 2016

I have a Allis 200 that would be great if it had a differential lock. I don't think it was an option? What series did Allis Chalmers start putting them in?

Thanks

You are right I wish mine had the diff lock too.

The lack of a differential lock was always a criticism of the 200 Allis I had run for a neighbor whom I had worked for. I used to do a fair amount of fall plowing with that tractor. I had grown up with John Deere tractors which had the differential lock feature. I did like that 200 Allis, and I found it to be a very fuel efficient tractor to operate.

7010's and bigger had a diff lock as standard equipment. Never was available on a 200 or 7000.

I am not experienced with differential locks other than last winter I removed the axle housing from and ED-40 that had one. I was not impressed with the mechanism. Maybe they are OK but it didn't look like it would stand any abuse. Not that I abuse equipment, just that for long term reliability I would prefer not to have one, or to not use it too hard. I have always just tapped the brake on the spinning wheel and "locked" the differential that way.

7010 & up had diff lock. in mean time use traction booster & make sure linkage is correct.

Differential lock is usually pretty durable on most tractors if used like its supposed to be used,wouldn't have to be too good to outlast a ED40.

Well this ED-40 is "retired" now.
