Last week I posted asking about I 400s or I 600s which is what I thought my friend had been given. Well this weekend we went to pick it up and it turned out to be a ED 40! Not only that we figured out that there were three different ones, standard, delux, and super delux, and his is the super delux. It is a little rough, has been used to pull logs out of the woods, but is basically Ok except for the steering box which needs some help. For those who don't know, this is a 40 (about) hp English diesel, D-10 size tractor. It has 4 speeds, and a high and low range, 3 point hitch, tachometer/hour meter, and other gaughes in the panel. All seem to work. There were only about 400 imported into the U.S. from England where AC made them in the mid 60s. A somewhat rare and interesting tractor.

I've read the specs. on how many ED-40s were sold in the US, but I'm somewhat skeptical of them. "ED", as I recall stands for "English Diesel." I live in Central New York, and there used to be many of them here. I had three, and at one time it seems every other farm in this area had one or two. Not too long ago (maybe 10 years) there were still half a dozen of them nearby sitting behind a local farm in the junkpile. My neighbor, who just retired from farming, bought three of them new. He had a frequent clutch problems with them all (the hand clutch, not the foot clutch). I got rid of my last one 5-6 years ago when the engine developed a rod-knock. At the time, I couldn't find any parts for it, so I sold it. Now I see there are many sources for the little Ricardo-Standard taxi-cab engine it uses.

I believe it is closer to the D-14 since it has a power director. It weighs 3600# while the 14 weighs 4200 and the D-10 weighs 3000 and the D-12 weighs 3051. Engine displacement is similar to all three but it is a different engine.

The ED-40 is between 6" and 9" shorter than all of the three D tractors. High speed on the ED-40 is 16.4 mph. D-10 and D-12 are 11.4 and D-14 is 14.7 mph. Tires are 28" while the D-14 had 26" and d-10 and D-12 were both 24". Power adjust rear wheels were an option. A 3 point hitch was added to most Allis's in 1963 - ED-40 included.

My book says 450 were imported to the eastern US in 1964. The book indicates more were imported through 68. Serial number records are non-existant. The first ED-40 was 1001. Estimated build was 4000 to 5000 with the last one in 1968. It was never tested at Nebraska. Serial number is on left side of transmission. The engine was made by Standard-Ricardo. 138 cu in, 20:1 compression, 3.3125 bore x 4.0 stroke. It sold in England for 636 pounds in 1963.

I have the differences between the different models. Email me and I'll send to you.

I bought an ED40 2 years ago and have had great success with it. It needs some tender loving car on the paint work, but everything works. I have original instruction books with it, but the have ED 45 on them. I am looking for some parts to replace some of the front steering. If anyone knows a place in Canada or upper New Your State near Ontario, I would appreciate the info. I will also check and see if the serial number plate is still there and send it out to you.
