To All -
Thanks for all your assistance with providing reference materials, especially "Ron" with the photos.

Well, I bought the rig from the old gal & plan to bring her home this weekend. After much shed work and brush clearing I think she is a '60 or '61 AC D10, Series II. Momma Shep is already trying to lay claim to her.

Looking for positive identification. See link below. I have other photos I can post later if needed.

Deal included tandem disks, single bottom, and 2 bottom plow, cultivator, 3 disk plow and misc. other stuff. Looking for planters now.

URGENTLY requesting any tips on how to begin prep work before trying to start her up. I sure don't want to tear anything up or create more work than neccesary. Was running when parked (supposedly). Been sitting now for "15+ yrs!"

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

AC D10, Series II (but then again, I'm an Oliver guy)

Shep; Looks like a D-10 to me, however the 3-point hitch if original, means it's a series 3. preping it to start after setting so long must be done throughly. clean the gas tank, replace fuel lines, disassemble carb, clean and check every part for corrosion and damage. IF the engine is stuck, remove the plugs, fill the cylinders with auotmatic trans fluid and leave for a week. After the week gently try to turn the engine over with the crank pulley with the plugs out.Also change oil and filter. Don't force the engine it can break the rings. Slow careful work will yeild great rewards. J.L.

Technically it is not a Series II, but it has the same features as a Series II. I mid-1961 AC changed the D-10/12 to include larger (149 ci) engine, true independent hydraulics and PTO, 12V (positive ground) electrical, and 1500 psi hydraulics (as opposed to the high pressure, low volume hydraulics on earlier ACs) and some other changes. These production changes were effective with D-10 SN 3501. The Series II designation wasn't applied until 1963, starting with D10 SN 6801, but there weren't any changes other than the decals. Never believe decals on tractors. There are many WD's running around with WD45 decals.

Shep, as for some of your other questions. The gauge in the upper righ hand corner is the traction booster gauge, the one below it is the water temp. I see you are missing the right hand side panel below the gas tank, try to see if it is around where the tractor was at, as they are hard to find, just like the hood side panel that has ALLIS CHALMERS on it. My guess on the levers is, one is for the traction booster, and the other is the PTO engage/disengage. The knob in the left side panel is the choke knob. Your tractor has the wrong key switch, and the D-10's were started by the key, not a button. The hole in the center of the gauge panel is for a fuse holder. It also looks like there is an open hole in the upper right hand corner of the gauge panel, and that hole is for the light switch. I would suggest you find a service manual, with that you will have most of the answers to your quetions. If you decide to sell any of the implements, let me know, as I have a D-12 series II with 3pt, that I am looking for implements for. I hope this helps you out, Darrell Jr (MN)

I own D-10 #4238. My tractor is identical to yours. In 61-62 Allis increased the engine size from 138 to 149 cubic inches, added independent pto, improved hydraulics, electrics and more. These tractors did not have a "Series II" decal. Look on the left side of your tractor (from the seated position). The serial number will be located in the area that looks like the bell housing on a car. The number will start D10...The number will most likely be after 3501.

The D-10 is a neat little tractor that can do a lot of work. I am impressed by the implements you got as well. ny of them AC? Congratulations.

rwright, I beg to differ with you on the series II decal. My '63 D-12 series II has a "series II" decal, and by the pictures that shep posted, his does to. The "series II" is on the same decal where it says D-10, or in my case D-12.

Shep,
You are indeed a "lucky dog". Finding that D-10 with all it's equipment is a real stroke of luck.
One thing, you show a photo of the "serial number" which is not what it is.
The S/N on the D series is stamped into the flange of the tractor where the engine and torque tube meet. It will be on the left side, viewed from the seat, and start at the top with the model then the S/N. Yours should read D10 NNNNN , where N represents the numbers. Just so you won't be confused later on. Enjoy!, Phil
