Farmall Super C - Allis Chalmers

Bill VA · Jun 29, 2017

What Allis Chalmers model tractor would have been the direct competitor to the Farmall Super C, back in the day - when they were both new?

Just curious.

Thanks,
Bill

The Allis CA would have been quite close to the Super C in size and power.

Early 50s, AC had the model B, CA, WD. B went into 1957, C was replaced with the CA 1950-1958...WD replaced by the WD45 in Spring, 1953, although several changes were made to the WD in 52-53. Most notable were constant mesh transmission with curved shift lever in Fall, 1952, and later battery ignition. Some WDs were still built in Spring 53, when the WD45 came out. I find it interesting that for the most part, AC had only two major tractors in production in those years...CA and WD45. Very limited compared to other brands.
