This 1953 Allis-Chalmers CA tractor was refurbished under prior ownership and purchased by the seller in 2023. The tractor is finished in orange with matching wheels, and power is from a gasoline-fueled 125ci inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Equipment includes a chrome exhaust stack, headlights, rear half fenders, a pin hitch, and a rear power take-off. This Model CA is now offered at no reserve in Wisconsin with a bill of sale.
The Allis-Chalmers CA tractor succeeded the Model C in 1949 and had a higher horsepower rating. Just under 40,000 units were reportedly produced through 1958. This example is said to have been refinished in orange under prior ownership and has a contoured engine cover, a mesh grille, an aftermarket chrome exhaust stack, headlights, a single taillight, rear half fenders, and Allis-Chalmers graphics.
The steel wheels are painted orange up front, while the rear wheels have silver rims with orange centers. They are mounted with 5.50-15″ Co-op Tri-Rib front and 12.4-24″ Firestone Traction Field & Road rear tires. Braking is handled by independent band-style rear drums, and the tractor is equipped with a wide-track front axle.
The operator’s station houses a steel seat suspended on a coilover damper. Controls include a hand throttle, a transmission output shaft disconnect lever, a foot pedal for the engine clutch, a shifter, and dual pedals for the individual rear brakes.
The three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a body-color instrument panel that houses an ammeter, and a coolant temperature gauge is recessed within the engine cover. The tractor is not equipped with an hour meter, therefore total runtime is unknown.
The gasoline-fueled 125ci inline-four sends power to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission. The battery was replaced in 2023.
The tractor is equipped with a pin hitch, a snap-coupler assembly for use with compatible Allis-Chalmers implements, and a rear power take-off shaft.
