Hello guys, I normally hang around the JD board but I have a question about the 1 piece of Allis Chalmers equipment I own, I dug 3 AC flail forage choppers out of a neighbors grove and saved them from the blue flame, I made one out of the 3 and use it to harvest stalks for my cattle, so the first question is what model is it and what years were they made? It is of course a left hand pulled unit, and a 2nd question is can any one point me in the direction of an operators manual I always try and have one for every piece of equipment I own, any help is greatly apprieciated
Thanks

Zach
 
The only AC flail chopper with left hand pickup that I know of is the
56F, built beginning around 1960. It was a 36 knife, 6'unit. Had one
many years ago..wore it out. I'm trying to find my manual... so long
ago, not sure where it is..but I rarely throw things out. That's a nice
find three in a bunch..
 
Thanks alot, that sounds like what I have and I can easly take 2 rows of stalks, for what ever reason the neighbor ran the wheel bearing out of the 2 parts machine so I only am able to use the one but with hubs and spindles I maybe could have a second one, I have never seen any of these flail choppers any where else around here
 
The 56f was the only flail chopper that Allis ever made.If I remember right they made 1600 of them.My grandfather had a new one in the 1960's and it worked great.They have more suction than the other brands.When setup right they make a fine cut,Dad even used it to cut alfalfa for the silo.They were putting alfalfa in the silo the day that president Kennedy was shot.Check on E-bay for a manual if you can't find one I could make a copy of mine for you.
