Anyone know the good, bad & ugly on this old Allis Chalmers 616?
Original Message Jun 17, 2005 2:48 pm

I was surprised to learn that this tractor came with a 16 hP air cooled Onan. Any known problems with this or it's Simplicity clone, model 4040?

Chris,
If I had a box of rocks powered by an old Onan, would you trade me for your truck?
